Let u(t)=(cost,sint,t)u(t)=(cos⁡t,sin⁡t,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 (vu2)(|v| |u|^2)' at t=π3t = \frac{\pi}{3}, where v(t)v(t) and u(t)u(t) are vector-valued functions.

Step 1: Break down the expression

We want to differentiate: (vu2)=ddt(vu2)(|v| |u|^2)' = \frac{d}{dt} \left( |v| \cdot |u|^2 \right) We can apply the product rule of differentiation here: (vu2)=ddtvu2+vddtu2(|v| |u|^2)' = \frac{d}{dt} |v| \cdot |u|^2 + |v| \cdot \frac{d}{dt} |u|^2

Step 2: Compute v|v|

The magnitude of v(t)v(t) is given by: v=v12+v22+v32|v| = \sqrt{v_1^2 + v_2^2 + v_3^2} At t=π3t = \frac{\pi}{3}, we know v(π3)=(1,2,2)v\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = (1, -2, 2). Therefore, v=12+(2)2+22=1+4+4=9=3|v| = \sqrt{1^2 + (-2)^2 + 2^2} = \sqrt{1 + 4 + 4} = \sqrt{9} = 3

Step 3: Compute ddtv\frac{d}{dt} |v|

We can use the formula for differentiating the magnitude of a vector: ddtv=vvv\frac{d}{dt} |v| = \frac{v \cdot v'}{|v|} At t=π3t = \frac{\pi}{3}, we know v(π3)=(1,2,2)v\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = (1, -2, 2) and v(π3)=(1.1,0.6,0.2)v'\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = (1.1, 0.6, 0.2). Therefore, vv=1(1.1)+(2)(0.6)+2(0.2)=1.11.2+0.4=0.3v \cdot v' = 1(1.1) + (-2)(0.6) + 2(0.2) = 1.1 - 1.2 + 0.4 = 0.3 Thus, ddtv=0.33=0.1\frac{d}{dt} |v| = \frac{0.3}{3} = 0.1

Step 4: Compute u|u| and u2|u|^2

The magnitude of u(t)=(cost,sint,t)u(t) = (\cos t, \sin t, t) is: u=cos2t+sin2t+t2|u| = \sqrt{\cos^2 t + \sin^2 t + t^2} Since cos2t+sin2t=1\cos^2 t + \sin^2 t = 1, this simplifies to: u=1+t2|u| = \sqrt{1 + t^2} At t=π3t = \frac{\pi}{3}, u=1+(π3)2=1+π29=9+π29=9+π23|u| = \sqrt{1 + \left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right)^2} = \sqrt{1 + \frac{\pi^2}{9}} = \sqrt{\frac{9 + \pi^2}{9}} = \frac{\sqrt{9 + \pi^2}}{3} Therefore, u2=1+π29|u|^2 = 1 + \frac{\pi^2}{9}

Step 5: Compute ddtu2\frac{d}{dt} |u|^2

Differentiating u2=1+t2|u|^2 = 1 + t^2, we get: ddtu2=2t\frac{d}{dt} |u|^2 = 2t At t=π3t = \frac{\pi}{3}, ddtu2=2×π3=2π3\frac{d}{dt} |u|^2 = 2 \times \frac{\pi}{3} = \frac{2\pi}{3}

Step 6: Combine everything

We now combine all the components: (vu2)=ddtvu2+vddtu2(|v| |u|^2)' = \frac{d}{dt} |v| \cdot |u|^2 + |v| \cdot \frac{d}{dt} |u|^2 At t=π3t = \frac{\pi}{3}, this becomes: (vu2)=(0.1)(1+π29)+32π3(|v| |u|^2)' = (0.1)(1 + \frac{\pi^2}{9}) + 3 \cdot \frac{2\pi}{3} Simplifying: (vu2)=0.1(1+π29)+2π(|v| |u|^2)' = 0.1 \left(1 + \frac{\pi^2}{9}\right) + 2\pi Substitute π3.1416\pi \approx 3.1416: (vu2)=0.1(1+(3.1416)29)+2×3.1416(|v| |u|^2)' = 0.1 \left(1 + \frac{(3.1416)^2}{9}\right) + 2 \times 3.1416 (vu2)=0.1(1+9.86969)+6.2832(|v| |u|^2)' = 0.1 \left(1 + \frac{9.8696}{9}\right) + 6.2832 (vu2)=0.1×2.0966+6.2832=0.2097+6.2832=6.4929(|v| |u|^2)' = 0.1 \times 2.0966 + 6.2832 = 0.2097 + 6.2832 = 6.4929

Thus, the value of (vu2)(|v| |u|^2)' at t=π3t = \frac{\pi}{3} is approximately 6.493 (to four significant figures).
