Expert verified

The curvature of the given vector-valued function is $魏 = \sqrt{\frac{t^{4} + (4 + 伪^{2}) t^{2} + 4 + 4 伪^{2}}{{(t^{2} + 1 + 伪^{2})}^{3}}} .$

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given Information.

The given vector-valued function is $r (t) = (t \sin t, t \cos t, 伪 t), where 伪 is a constant .$

Step 2. Find the curvature.

To find the curvature of the given vector-valued function, we will use the formula for the Curvature of a Space Curve $魏 = \frac{||r' (t) 脳 r'' (t)||}{{||r' (t)||}^{3}} .$

So,

$r (t) = <t \sin t, t \cos t, 伪 t> r' (t) = <t \cos t + \sin t, - t \sin t + \cos t, 伪> r'' (t) = <- t \sin t + 2 \cos t, - t \cos t - 2 \sin t, 0> Now, r' (t) 脳 r'' (t) = |\begin{matrix} i & j & k \\ t \cos t + \sin t & - t sint & 伪 \\ - t \sin t + 2 \cos t & - t \cos t - 2 \sin t & 0 \end{matrix}| = i [伪 (t \cos t + 2 \sin t)] - j [伪 (t \sin t - 2 \cos t)] + k (- t^{2} - 2) = <伪 (t \cos t + 2 \sin t), 伪 (t \sin t - 2 \cos t), - t^{2} - 2> Let' s find ||r' (t) 脳 r'' (t)|| = \sqrt{{(伪 (t cost + 2 sint))}^{2} + {(伪 (- t sint + 2 cost))}^{2} + {(- t^{2} - 2)}^{2}} = \sqrt{t^{4} + (4 + 伪^{2}) t^{2} + 4 + 4 伪^{2}} . . . . . . . . . (a) And ||r' (t)|| = \sqrt{{(t \cos t + \sin t)}^{2} + {(- t sint + \cos t)}^{2} + {(伪)}^{2}} = \sqrt{t^{2} + 1 + 伪^{2}} . . . . . . . . (b)$

Step 3. Calculate.

Put the values of (a) and (b) in the formula of Curvature of a space curve,

$魏 = \frac{\sqrt{t^{4} + (4 + 伪^{2}) t^{2} + 4 + 4 伪^{2}}}{{(\sqrt{t^{2} + 1 + 伪^{2}})}^{3}} 魏 = \sqrt{\frac{t^{4} + (4 + 伪^{2}) t^{2} + 4 + 4 伪^{2}}{{(t^{2} + 1 + 伪^{2})}^{3}}}$
