Math Problem Statement

no steps, just answer

What is the vector function given by \( \sqrt{2t} \, \hat{i} + e^t \, \hat{j} + e^{-t} \, \hat{k}, 0 \leq t \leq 9 \)?

Solution

The vector function given is:

r(t)=2ti^+etj^+etk^\vec{r}(t) = \sqrt{2t} \, \hat{i} + e^t \, \hat{j} + e^{-t} \, \hat{k}

with the domain 0t90 \leq t \leq 9.

Let me know if you need more details or have any questions.

Here are five relative questions for further exploration:

  1. What is the magnitude of this vector function at t=9t = 9?
  2. How does the vector behave as t0t \to 0?
  3. What is the derivative of this vector function with respect to tt?
  4. Can you compute the unit vector corresponding to this vector function?
  5. What is the dot product of this vector with another given vector?

Tip: When dealing with vector functions, always consider evaluating them at key points (like t=0t = 0 or t=9t = 9) to understand their behavior.
