Ahh, thank you so much. I realized that I made a mistake half way through, but i changed the wrong number in the last cross. Thanks! By the way, if you don't mind, why did you choose to complete the operations that you did. My teacher only gives very basic explanations, if any, and sometimes I...

Well, I got (16,-7,-3) as my final answer.. You got the actual answer? Could you show your steps please?

A note to take into consideration is that we haven't really touched upon 3D intersections, using perpendicular vectors. Never.

I tried both ways, but I'm getting slightly different answers. Could you please show me some clear steps because I'm getting somewhat confused.

Homework Statement Find the equation of the line through the point (-5,-4,2) that intersects the line at r = (7,-13,8) +t(1,2,-2) at 90 degrees. Homework Equations I guess that using the dot product for the direction vector of the line needed, (x,y,z) , with the direction of the given...

Ahaa, better than a 3.95? My goodness, these people really are brilliant. So pretty much, talent + hard work + getting used to stress + organization + time management = goals beyond many? (: Of course, I'm expecting the hardest thing I've attempted so far, while in the course, so I'm still...

I guess, but kids have a tendency to complain because they think they know everything, so I was simply waiting for the one person, or probably a few more, who went through the course, maintaining insanely high grades, all while having a social life. I think if one man can do it, possibly a few...

*** It's about time I***

@Nicholls, Thanks so much for the insight. It's about time a get a real response from an actual EngSci graduate. Well, considering that you too are coming from a non-spectacular high school, did you do anything special over the summer to teach yourself more than what you needed to know, for high...

@Nicholls, how prepared do you think you were in high school? Did you take AP and IB, or such? What were your grades like in grade 12, and then what were they in 1st and second year EngSci? You feel as if the journey was worth it?

I live in Toronto ): Either way, I have an essay to write on the Western Canon, along with finishing and sending my UofT National Scholarship App. I pray to the Lord that I win this because UofT is expensive AND stingy with giving entrance awards :\ Tell me how it goes !

Coming from him, that really is something to say. I'm just going to perfect the fundamentals I learn, and then some. I hope that the university experience is everything that it's cracked up to be. I'll message you again when admissions come along. See you then!

Amazing English mark :P What other courses do you take? Oh, and in all honesty, do you feel as if high school is "time consuming"? I feel as if people tell me the transition is very steep, and if high school has you stumped, then university will take you to a whole new level of confusion...

@Kevin, not to brag or anything, but my average is pretty darn close to 100, with English bringing me down -.-, as well as religion, as much as high marks can bring you down from perfect ;). As of now, I'm understanding everything pretty quickly. Very few things have stumped me on the way, and...

@Kevin, well I was considering to take that course at first, the math and physics specialist. What's your input on its rigor alone, and then vs EngSci?
