1. Explain the meaning of direction angles and their relation to direction vectors.

a. What are the direction angles of the vector [2, 4, -3]?

b. If a point P lies on the x-axis, what are the direction angles of the position vector OP ?

c. Prove that cos^2 ()+ cos^2 ()+ cos^2 (c ) = 1 (a,b,c are direction angles)

d. A vector has direction angles α = 75° and β= 55°

i. Find the value of γ

ii. Find a vector that has those direction angles

e. Explain why it is not possible for two of a vector's direction angles to be less than 45°

f. What is the value of sin^2 ()+ sin^2 ()+ sin^2 (c ) ? Why? (a,b,c are direction angles)
