Question: Evaluate the definite integral of the vector function \(\mathbf{i} + t\mathbf{j} + 3t^2\mathbf{k}\) with respect to t from -1 to 1. Answer: The definite integral of the vector function is \(2\mathbf{i} + 2\mathbf{k}\).

Step by step solution

01

Identify the components of the vector function

The given vector function is \(\mathbf{i} + t\mathbf{j} + 3t^2\mathbf{k}\). The i-component is a constant function, 1; the j-component is a linear function, \(t\); and the k-component is a quadratic function, \(3t^2\).
02

Integrate i-component with respect to t

We need to integrate the i-component with respect to t, from -1 to 1. So, $$\int_{-1}^{1} 1 dt$$
03

Evaluate i-component integral

The integral of a constant (1) with respect to t is linear (t). So, $$\left[t\right]_{-1}^{1} = \left[1 - (-1)\right] = 2$$
04

Integrate j-component with respect to t

Now, we need to integrate the j-component with respect to t, from -1 to 1. So, $$\int_{-1}^{1} t dt$$
05

Evaluate j-component integral

The integral of the linear function \(t\) with respect to t is quadratic (\(\frac{1}{2}t^2\)). So, $$\left[\frac{1}{2}t^2\right]_{-1}^{1} = \left[\frac{1}{2}(1^2 - (-1)^2)\right] = \left[\frac{1}{2}(1 - 1)\right] = 0$$
06

Integrate k-component with respect to t

Finally, we need to integrate the k-component with respect to t, from -1 to 1. So, $$\int_{-1}^1 3t^2 dt$$
07

Evaluate k-component integral

The integral of the quadratic function \(3t^2\) with respect to t is cubic (\(t^3\)). So, $$\left[t^3\right]_{-1}^1 = \left[1^3 - (-1)^3\right] = \left[1 - (-1)\right] = 2$$
08

Combine results to form the final vector

Now that we have evaluated the definite integral for each of the components, we can form the resulting vector by combining them: $$\left(2\mathbf{i} + 0\mathbf{j} + 2\mathbf{k}\right) = 2\mathbf{i} + 2\mathbf{k}$$

Find the points (if they exist) at which the following planes and curves intersect. $$y+x=0 ; \mathbf{r}(t)=\langle\cos t, \sin t, t\rangle, \text { for } 0 \leq t \leq 4 \pi$$

Evaluate the following limits. $$\lim _{t \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\sin t}{t} \mathbf{i}-\frac{e^{t}-t-1}{t} \mathbf{j}+\frac{\cos t+t^{2} / 2-1}{t^{2}} \mathbf{k}\right)$$

The definition \(\mathbf{u} \cdot \mathbf{v}=|\mathbf{u}||\mathbf{v}| \cos \theta\) implies that \(|\mathbf{u} \cdot \mathbf{v}| \leq|\mathbf{u}||\mathbf{v}|(\text {because}|\cos \theta| \leq 1) .\) This inequality, known as the Cauchy-Schwarz Inequality, holds in any number of dimensions and has many consequences. What conditions on \(\mathbf{u}\) and \(\mathbf{v}\) lead to equality in the Cauchy-Schwarz Inequality?

a. Show that \((\mathbf{u}+\mathbf{v}) \cdot(\mathbf{u}+\mathbf{v})=|\mathbf{u}|^{2}+2 \mathbf{u} \cdot \mathbf{v}+|\mathbf{v}|^{2}\). b. Show that \((\mathbf{u}+\mathbf{v}) \cdot(\mathbf{u}+\mathbf{v})=|\mathbf{u}|^{2}+|\mathbf{v}|^{2}\) if \(\mathbf{u}\) is perpendicular to \(\mathbf{v}\). c. Show that \((\mathbf{u}+\mathbf{v}) \cdot(\mathbf{u}-\mathbf{v})=|\mathbf{u}|^{2}-|\mathbf{v}|^{2}\).

Imagine three unit spheres (radius equal to 1 ) with centers at \(O(0,0,0), P(\sqrt{3},-1,0)\) and \(Q(\sqrt{3}, 1,0) .\) Now place another unit sphere symmetrically on top of these spheres with its center at \(R\) (see figure). a. Find the coordinates of \(R\). (Hint: The distance between the centers of any two spheres is 2.) b. Let \(\mathbf{r}_{i j}\) be the vector from the center of sphere \(i\) to the center of sphere \(j .\) Find \(\mathbf{r}_{O P}, \mathbf{r}_{O Q}, \mathbf{r}_{P Q}, \mathbf{r}_{O R},\) and \(\mathbf{r}_{P R}\).
