Show that ifA and Bare matrices which don't commute, then , but if they do commute then the relation holds. Hint: Write out several terms of the infinite series for , and and, do the multiplications carefully assuming that anddon't commute. Then see what happens if they do commute
A particle is traveling along the line (x-3)/2=(y+1)/(-2)=z-1. Write the equation of its path in the form . Find the distance of closest approach of the particle to the origin (that is, the distance from the origin to the line). If t represents time, show that the time of closest approach is . Use this value to check your answer for the distance of closest approach. Hint: See Figure 5.3. If P is the point of closest approach, what is ?
