\(\mathbb{R}^{2}\) Consider the vectors \(\mathbf{I}=\langle 1 / \sqrt{2}, 1 / \sqrt{2}\rangle\) and \(\mathbf{J}=\langle-1 / \sqrt{2}, 1 / \sqrt{2}\rangle\). Write the vector \langle 2,-6\rangle in terms of \(\mathbf{I}\) and \(\mathbf{J}\).
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 trajectory given by the position function $$\mathbf{r}(t)=\left\langle 50 e^{-t} \cos t, 50 e^{-t} \sin t, 5\left(1-e^{-t}\right)\right), \quad \text { for } t \geq 0$$ a. Find the initial point \((t=0)\) and the "terminal" point \(\left(\lim _{t \rightarrow \infty} \mathbf{r}(t)\right)\) of the trajectory. b. At what point on the trajectory is the speed the greatest? c. Graph the trajectory.
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 \(\mathbf{v}\). \(\mathbf{u}=\langle 4,3,0\rangle, \mathbf{v}=\langle 1,1,1\rangle\)
Two sides of a parallelogram are formed by the vectors \(\mathbf{u}\) and \(\mathbf{v}\). Prove that the diagonals of the parallelogram are \(\mathbf{u}+\mathbf{v}\) and \(\mathbf{u}-\mathbf{v}\)
