Given:-   r(t)=< at^2+1,t>  ; -\infty < t< \infty , where a is any positive real number.

Consider the helix parabolic equation :  

                                              r(t)=< at^2+1,t>

now, take the derivatives we get;

                                            r{}'(t)=

As, we know that two vectors are orthogonal if their dot product is zero.

Here,  r(t) and r{}'(t)  are orthogonal i.e,   r\cdot r{}'=0

Therefore, we have ,

                                  < at^2+1,t>\cdot < 2at,1>=0

< at^2+1,t>\cdot < 2at,1>=

                                              =2a^2t^3+2at+t

2a^2t^3+2at+t=0

take t common in above equation we get,

t\cdot \left (2a^2t^2+2a+1\right )=0

⇒t=0 or 2a^2t^2+2a+1=0

To find the solution for t;

take 2a^2t^2+2a+1=0

The numberD = b^2 -4ac determined from the coefficients of the equation ax^2 + bx + c = 0.

The determinant D=0-4(2a^2)(2a+1)=-8a^2\cdot(2a+1)

Since, for any positive value of a determinant is negative.

Therefore, there is no solution.

The only solution, we have t=0.

Hence, we have only one points on the parabola  r(t)=< at^2+1,t> i.e <1,0>

The length of a rectangle is 4 inches more than its width, and its perimeter is 34 inches. Find the length and width of the
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Width = 6.5 inches

Length = 10.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

"l" be length of rectangle

and

"w" be width of rectangle

Since length of rectangle is 4 inches MORE THAN WIDTH, we can write:

l = 4 + w

The perimeter is sum of all sides, so

Perimeter = l + l + w + w = 2l + 2w

The perimeter is 34, so we can write:

2l + 2w = 34

Putting 1st equation in 2nd, we get equation in "w" and solve for this first:

2l + 2w = 34\\2(4+w) + 2w = 34\\8+2w+2w=34\\4w=26\\w=\frac{26}{4}=6.5

Width is 6.5 in

Now, l = 4 + w, so

l = 4 + 6.5 = 10.5

Length is 10.5 in
