Let u(t)=(cost,sint,t)u(t)=(cost,sint,t), and suppose v(t)v(t) is a vector-valued function such that
v(π/3)=(1,−2,2),v′(π/3)=(1.1,0.6,0.2).v(π/3)=(1,−2,2),v′(π/3)=(1.1,0.6,0.2).
Using the identities for differentiating vector-valued functions, calculate to four significant figures the following quantities, at t=π/3t=π/3:
(A) (2u+t2v)′,(2u+t2v)′, (B)v⋅(u×v)′,v⋅(u×v)′, (C)(|v||u|2)′(|v||u|2)′.. i only need the answer for part c
Solution
To compute part (C), we need to differentiate the expression at , where and are vector-valued functions.
Step 1: Break down the expression
We want to differentiate: We can apply the product rule of differentiation here:
Step 2: Compute

Step 5: Compute
Differentiating , we get: At ,
Step 6: Combine everything
We now combine all the components: At , this becomes: Simplifying: Substitute :
Thus, the value of at is approximately 6.493 (to four significant figures).
