Vector Parametric Lines

Click to enlarge

This PG code shows how to require students to enter a parametrized line that must go through certain points when t=0 and t=1, or allow them to enter an equation for any parametric line through two points.

TEXT(beginproblem());

Initialization: We load parserVectorUtils.pl which provides the Line() subroutine for a particular parametrization of a line, as well as parserParametricLine.pl which provides a subroutine ParametricLine() that allows students to enter any parametrization. 

Context("Vector")->variables->are(t=>"Real");

$P = non_zero_point3D(-9,9,1);
$V = non_zero_vector3D(-9,9,1);

$Q = Point($P + $V);

$particular = Line($P,$V,'t');
$general = ParametricLine($P,$V);

Setup: For the answer which is a particular parametrization through two points at times t=0 and t=1, we use Line(). To allow students to enter any equation for a parametric line through two points, we use ParametricLine() The syntax is fairly self-explanatory. 

Context()->texStrings;
