Binormal vectors and osculating planes: Find the binormal vector and equation of the osculating plane for the given function at the specified value of t.

r(t)=⟨t,αsinβt,αcosβt⟩,t=0

Short Answer

Expert verified

The binomial vector is,

αβ1+α2β2,11+α2β2,0

The equation of the osculating plane is -αβx+y=0.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given Information  

We are given,

r(t)=⟨t,αsinβt,αcosβt⟩,t=0
02

Step 2. Finding the binormal vector. 

Finding the binormal vector,

r(t)=⟨t,αsinβt,αcosβt⟩,t=0r(t)=⟨t,αsinβt,αcosβt⟩,t=0r'(t)=1+α2β2cos2βt+sin2βt=1+α2β2T(t)=r'(t)r'(t)=11+α2β2⟨1,αβcosβt,-αβsinβt⟩

At t=0,

T(t)=T(0)=11+α2β2⟨1,αβ,0⟩

Thus, the unit tangent vector is 11+α2β2⟨1,αβ,0⟩.

Step 3. Finding the binormal vector. 

By using the Quotient Rule for derivatives,

T'(t)=0+α2β4sin2βt1+α2β2+α2β4cos2βt1+α2β2=α2β4sin2βt+cos2βt1+α2β2=αβ21+α2β2N(t)=T'(t)T'(t)=11+α2β20,-αβ2sinβt,-αβ2cosβt1+α2β2αβ2=⟨0,-sinβt,-cosβt⟩Att=0,N(t)=N(0)=⟨0,0,-1⟩

Thus, the principal unit normal vector to r(t) is ⟨0,0,-1⟩,

Step 4. Finding the binormal vector. 

The binormal vector is given by,

B(0)=T(0)×N(0)=11+α2β2,αβ1+α2β2,0×⟨0,0,-1⟩=ijk11+α2β2αβ1+α2β2000-1=i-αβ1+α2β2-j-11+α2β2+k(0)=αβ1+α2β2,11+α2β2,0

05

Step 5. Finding the equation of the osculating plane  

The equation of the osculating at r(t=0)is defined by,

B(0)·⟨x-x(0),y-y(0),z-z(0)⟩=0-αβ1+α2β2,11+α2β2,0·⟨x-0,y-0,z-α⟩=0-αβ1+α2β2x+11+α2β2y=0-αβx+y=0

Hence, the equation is -αβx+y=0.
