Use the formula in Exercise 79 to find the (least) distance between the given point \(Q\) and line \(\mathbf{r}\). $$Q(-5,2,9) ; \mathbf{r}(t)=\langle 5 t+7,2-t, 12 t+4\rangle$$
Prove the following vector properties using components. Then make a sketch to illustrate the property geometrically. Suppose \(\mathbf{u}, \mathbf{v},\) and \(\mathbf{w}\) are vectors in the \(x y\) -plane and a and \(c\) are scalars. $$\mathbf{u}+\mathbf{v}=\mathbf{v}+\mathbf{u}$$
Find the function \(\mathbf{r}\) that satisfies the given conditions. $$\mathbf{r}^{\prime}(t)=\left\langle e^{2 t}, 1-2 e^{-t}, 1-2 e^{t}\right\rangle ; \mathbf{r}(0)=\langle 1,1,1\rangle$$
Let \(\mathbf{r}(t)=\langle f(t), g(t), h(t)\rangle\). a. Assume that \(\lim \mathbf{r}(t)=\mathbf{L}=\left\langle L_{1}, L_{2}, L_{3}\right\rangle,\) which means that \(\lim _{t \rightarrow a}|\mathbf{r}(t)-\mathbf{L}|=0 .\) Prove that \(\lim _{t \rightarrow a} f(t)=L_{1}, \quad \lim _{t \rightarrow a} g(t)=L_{2}, \quad\) and \(\quad \lim _{t \rightarrow a} h(t)=L_{3}\). b. Assume that \(\lim _{t \rightarrow a} f(t)=L_{1}, \lim _{t \rightarrow a} g(t)=L_{2},\) and \(\lim _{t \rightarrow a} h(t)=L_{3} .\) Prove that \(\lim _{t \rightarrow a} \mathbf{r}(t)=\mathbf{L}=\left\langle L_{1}, L_{2}, L_{3}\right\rangle\) which means that \(\lim _{t \rightarrow a}|\mathbf{r}(t)-\mathbf{L}|=0\).
Compute \(\mathbf{r}^{\prime \prime}(t)\) and \(\mathbf{r}^{\prime \prime \prime}(t)\) for the following functions. $$\mathbf{r}(t)=\left\langle t^{2}+1, t+1,1\right\rangle$$
