Maximum curvature Consider the "superparabolas" \(f_{n}(x)=x^{2 n},\) where \(n\) is a positive integer. a. Find the curvature function of \(f_{n},\) for \(n=1,2,\) and 3 b. Plot \(f_{n}\) and their curvature functions, for \(n=1,2,\) and 3 and check for consistency. c. At what points does the maximum curvature occur, for \(n=1,2,3 ?\) d. Let the maximum curvature for \(f_{n}\) occur at \(x=\pm z_{n} .\) Using either analytical methods or a calculator determine \(\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} z_{n}\) Interpret your result.
Consider the lines $$\begin{aligned} \mathbf{r}(t) &=\langle 2+2 t, 8+t, 10+3 t\rangle \text { and } \\ \mathbf{R}(s) &=\langle 6+s, 10-2 s, 16-s\rangle. \end{aligned}$$ a. Determine whether the lines intersect (have a common point) and if so, find the coordinates of that point. b. If \(\mathbf{r}\) and \(\mathbf{R}\) describe the paths of two particles, do the particles collide? Assume \(t \geq 0\) and \(s \approx 0\) measure time in seconds, and that motion starts at \(s=t=0\).
Let \(\mathbf{u}=\left\langle u_{1}, u_{2}, u_{3}\right\rangle\) \(\mathbf{v}=\left\langle v_{1}, v_{2}, v_{3}\right\rangle\), and \(\mathbf{w}=\) \(\left\langle w_{1}, w_{2}, w_{3}\right\rangle\). Let \(c\) be a scalar. Prove the following vector properties. \(|\mathbf{u} \cdot \mathbf{v}| \leq|\mathbf{u}||\mathbf{v}|\)
Find the point (if it exists) at which the following planes and lines intersect. $$z=-8 ; \mathbf{r}(t)=\langle 3 t-2, t-6,-2 t+4\rangle$$
The points \(P, Q, R,\) and \(S,\) joined by the vectors \(\mathbf{u}, \mathbf{v}, \mathbf{w},\) and \(\mathbf{x},\) are the vertices of a quadrilateral in \(\mathrm{R}^{3}\). The four points needn't lie in \(a\) plane (see figure). Use the following steps to prove that the line segments joining the midpoints of the sides of the quadrilateral form a parallelogram. The proof does not use a coordinate system. a. Use vector addition to show that \(\mathbf{u}+\mathbf{v}=\mathbf{w}+\mathbf{x}\) b. Let \(m\) be the vector that joins the midpoints of \(P Q\) and \(Q R\) Show that \(\mathbf{m}=(\mathbf{u}+\mathbf{v}) / 2\) c. Let n be the vector that joins the midpoints of \(P S\) and \(S R\). Show that \(\mathbf{n}=(\mathbf{x}+\mathbf{w}) / 2\) d. Combine parts (a), (b), and (c) to conclude that \(\mathbf{m}=\mathbf{n}\) e. Explain why part (d) implies that the line segments joining the midpoints of the sides of the quadrilateral form a parallelogram.
