    (a) a + b + c

    (b) a.b

    (c) b.c

    (d) a.c

    (e) a a

    (f) a b

    (g) b c

    (h) |a|

    (i) the unit vectors in the directions of a and b.

    2. Which of the following vectors are parallel and which are perpendicu-lar?

    p = 2i j, q = 4i 2j, r = 2i + 4j.

    3. If e = (5t2, cos t, sin2 t), find dedt
