Zero curvature Prove that the curve $$ \mathbf{r}(t)=\left\langle a+b t^{p}, c+d t^{p}, e+f t^{p}\right\rangle $$ where \(a, b, c, d, e,\) and \(f\) are real numbers and \(p\) is a positive integer, has zero curvature. Give an explanation.
Prove the following identities. Assume that \(\mathbf{u}, \mathbf{v}, \mathbf{w}\) and \(\mathbf{x}\) are nonzero vectors in \(\mathbb{R}^{3}\). $$(\mathbf{u} \times \mathbf{v}) \cdot(\mathbf{w} \times \mathbf{x})=(\mathbf{u} \cdot \mathbf{w})(\mathbf{v} \cdot \mathbf{x})-(\mathbf{u} \cdot \mathbf{x})(\mathbf{v} \cdot \mathbf{w})$$
For the following vectors u and \(\mathbf{v}\) express u as the sum \(\mathbf{u}=\mathbf{p}+\mathbf{n},\) where \(\mathbf{p}\) is parallel to \(\mathbf{v}\) and \(\mathbf{n}\) is orthogonal to \(\mathbf{v}\). \(\mathbf{u}=\langle-1,2,3\rangle, \mathbf{v}=\langle 2,1,1\rangle\)
\(\mathbb{R}^{3}\) Consider the vectors \(\mathbf{I}=\langle 1 / 2,1 / 2,1 / \sqrt{2}), \mathbf{J}=\langle-1 / \sqrt{2}, 1 / \sqrt{2}, 0\rangle,\) and \(\mathbf{K}=\langle 1 / 2,1 / 2,-1 / \sqrt{2}\rangle\) a. Sketch I, J, and K and show that they are unit vectors. b. Show that \(\mathbf{I}, \mathbf{J},\) and \(\mathbf{K}\) are pairwise orthogonal. c. Express the vector \langle 1,0,0\rangle in terms of \(\mathbf{I}, \mathbf{J},\) and \(\mathbf{K}\).
Evaluate the following limits. $$\lim _{t \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\sin t}{t} \mathbf{i}-\frac{e^{t}-t-1}{t} \mathbf{j}+\frac{\cos t+t^{2} / 2-1}{t^{2}} \mathbf{k}\right)$$
