Suppose the vector-valued function \(\mathbf{r}(t)=\langle f(t), g(t), h(t)\rangle\) is smooth on an interval containing the point \(t_{0} .\) The line tangent to \(\mathbf{r}(t)\) at \(t=t_{0}\) is the line parallel to the tangent vector \(\mathbf{r}^{\prime}\left(t_{0}\right)\) that passes through \(\left(f\left(t_{0}\right), g\left(t_{0}\right), h\left(t_{0}\right)\right) .\) For each of the following functions, find an equation of the line tangent to the curve at \(t=t_{0} .\) Choose an orientation for the line that is the same as the direction of \(\mathbf{r}^{\prime}\). $$\mathbf{r}(t)=\langle\sqrt{2 t+1}, \sin \pi t, 4\rangle ; t_{0}=4$$
Orthogonal lines Recall that two lines \(y=m x+b\) and \(y=n x+c\) are orthogonal provided \(m n=-1\) (the slopes are negative reciprocals of each other). Prove that the condition \(m n=-1\) is equivalent to the orthogonality condition \(\mathbf{u} \cdot \mathbf{v}=0,\) where \(\mathbf{u}\) points in the direction of one line and \(\mathbf{v}\) points in the direction of the other line..
Suppose \(\mathbf{u}\) and \(\mathbf{v}\) are vectors in the plane. a. Use the Triangle Rule for adding vectors to explain why \(|\mathbf{u}+\mathbf{v}| \leq|\mathbf{u}|+|\mathbf{v}| .\) This result is known as the Triangle Inequality. b. Under what conditions is \(|\mathbf{u}+\mathbf{v}|=|\mathbf{u}|+|\mathbf{v}| ?\)
Cauchy-Schwarz Inequality The definition \(\mathbf{u} \cdot \mathbf{v}=|\mathbf{u}||\mathbf{v}| \cos \theta\) implies that \(|\mathbf{u} \cdot \mathbf{v}| \leq|\mathbf{u}||\mathbf{v}|\) (because \(|\cos \theta| \leq 1\) ). This inequality, known as the Cauchy-Schwarz Inequality, holds in any number of dimensions and has many consequences. Verify that the Cauchy-Schwarz Inequality holds for \(\mathbf{u}=\langle 3,-5,6\rangle\) and \(\mathbf{v}=\langle-8,3,1\rangle\)
Relationship between \(\mathbf{r}\) and \(\mathbf{r}^{\prime}\) Consider the circle \(\mathbf{r}(t)=\langle a \cos t, a \sin t\rangle,\) for \(0 \leq t \leq 2 \pi\) where \(a\) is a positive real number. Compute \(\mathbf{r}^{\prime}\) and show that it is orthogonal to \(\mathbf{r}\) for all \(t\)
