Let \(\mathbf{u}(t)=\left\langle 1, t, t^{2}\right\rangle, \mathbf{v}(t)=\left\langle t^{2},-2 t, 1\right\rangle\) and \(g(t)=2 \sqrt{t}\). Compute the derivatives of the following functions. $$\mathbf{u}(t) \cdot \mathbf{v}(t)$$
Let \(\mathbf{u}(t)=\left\langle 1, t, t^{2}\right\rangle, \mathbf{v}(t)=\left\langle t^{2},-2 t, 1\right\rangle\) and \(g(t)=2 \sqrt{t}\). Compute the derivatives of the following functions. $$\mathbf{v}(g(t))$$
Cusps and noncusps a. Graph the curve \(\mathbf{r}(t)=\left\langle t^{3}, t^{3}\right\rangle .\) Show that \(\mathbf{r}^{\prime}(0)=\mathbf{0}\) and the curve does not have a cusp at \(t=0 .\) Explain. b. Graph the curve \(\mathbf{r}(t)=\left\langle t^{3}, t^{2}\right\rangle .\) Show that \(\mathbf{r}^{\prime}(0)=\mathbf{0}\) and the curve has a cusp at \(t=0 .\) Explain. c. The functions \(\mathbf{r}(t)=\left\langle t, t^{2}\right\rangle\) and \(\mathbf{p}(t)=\left\langle t^{2}, t^{4}\right\rangle\) both satisfy \(y=x^{2} .\) Explain how the curves they parameterize are different. d. Consider the curve \(\mathbf{r}(t)=\left\langle t^{m}, t^{n}\right\rangle,\) where \(m>1\) and \(n>1\) are integers with no common factors. Is it true that the curve has a cusp at \(t=0\) if one (not both) of \(m\) and \(n\) is even? Explain.
Use vectors to show that the midpoint of the line segment joining \(P\left(x_{1}, y_{1}\right)\) and \(Q\left(x_{2}, y_{2}\right)\) is the point \(\left(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2}, \frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2}\right)\) (Hint: Let \(O\) be the origin and let \(M\) be the midpoint of \(P Q\). Draw a picture and show that $$\left.\overrightarrow{O M}=\overrightarrow{O P}+\frac{1}{2} \overrightarrow{P Q}=\overrightarrow{O P}+\frac{1}{2}(\overrightarrow{O Q}-\overrightarrow{O P}) \cdot\right)$$
Find the function \(\mathbf{r}\) that satisfies the given conditions. $$\mathbf{r}^{\prime}(t)=\frac{t}{t^{2}+1} \mathbf{i}+t e^{-t^{2}} \mathbf{j}-\frac{2 t}{\sqrt{t^{2}+4}} \mathbf{k} ; \mathbf{r}(0)=\mathbf{i}+\frac{3}{2} \mathbf{j}-3 \mathbf{k}$$
