Let n ≥ 2 be any natural number and consider n lines in the xy plane. A point in the xy plane is called an intersection point if at least two lines pass through it. Use induction to

show that the number of intersection points is at most (n(n-1))/2.

Show that, for any positive integer n, n lines ”in general position” (i.e. no two of them are parallel, no three of them pass through the same point) in the plane R2 divide the plane into exactly n2+n+2 regions. (Hint: Use the fact that an nth line 2 will cut all n − 1 lines, and thereby create n new regions.)

Suppose that in a Hilbert plane, lines m and n are parallel. Let P be a point on m, and Q the point on n so that line P Q is perpendicular to n. Is there another point R on m so that the perpendicular line RS to n through R (where S is incident with n) so that segment P Q is congruent to RS? Under what conditions? (Note that you need to provide some further hypotheses to make...

Let A ={1-1/n | n is a natural number} Prove that 0 is a lower bound and 1 is an upper bound:  Start by taking x in A.  Then x = 1-1/n for some natural number n.  Starting from the fact that 0 < 1/n < 1 do some algebra and arithmetic to get to 0 < 1-1/n <1. Prove that lub(A) = 1:  Suppose that r is another upper bound.  Then wts that r<= 1.  Suppose not.  Then r<1.  So 1-r>0....

Let P be the plane given by the equation 2x + y − 3z = 2. The point Q(1, 2, 3) is not on the plane P, the point R is on the plane P, and the line L1 through Q and R is orthogonal to the plane P. Let W be another point (1, 1, 3). Find parametric equations of the line L2 that passes through points W and R.
