Use the given velocity vectors v(t)=r'(t) and initial positions din Exercises 45-48 to find the position function r(t).

v(t)=t,t2,r(0)=3,−4

Short Answer

Expert verified

Thusr(t)=t22+3i+t33-4jis the required position function.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

consider v(t)=t,t2,r(0)=3,-4

The objective is to find the position function r(t).

Since localid="1651746230157" v(t)=r2(t)we have localid="1651746236416" r(t)=∫v(t)dt

=∫t,t2dt=i∫tdt+j∫t2dt

localid="1651746076251" =t22i+t33j+c, where c is a vector constant.

localid="1651746082066" =t22+c1i+t33+c2jwherec1andc2are scalars.

02

Calculation

So

r(t)=t22+c1i+t33+c2jr(0)=022+c1i+033+c2jr(0)=c1i+c2j......(1)

But the given initial position r(0)=3,-4=3i-4j.......(2)

Equating (1)and (2)equations,

c1i+c2j=3i-4j

we obtain c1=3,c2=-4thus

r(t)=t22+3i+t33-4j

03

Calculation

Check: taking the derivative of r(t),t22+3i+t33-4jwe obtain

r1(t)=ti+t2j,which is the correct tangent vector function.

Next, we evaluate

localid="1651743714640" r(0)=022+3i+033-4j=3i-4j

=3,-4,which is true according to the problem.

Thus localid="1651746030104" r(t)=t22+3i+t33-4jis the required position function.
