Answer:

a.

T(t) = ( -sin(t^2), cos(t^2) )\\\\N(t) = T'(t) / |T'(t) |  =   (-cos(t^2) , -sin(t^2))

b.

T(t) =r'(t)/|r'(t)| =  (2t/ \sqrt{4t^2   + 36} , -6/\sqrt{4t^2   + 36},0)

N(t) =T(t)/|T'(t)| =  (3/(9 + t^2)^{1/2} , t/(9 + t^2)^{1/2},0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that for any curve      r(t)  

The tangent vector is given by

T(t) = \frac{r'(t) }{| r'(t)| }

And the normal vector is given by

N(t) = \frac{T'(t)}{|T'(t)|}

a.

For this case, using the chain rule

r'(t) = (  -10*2tsin(t^2) ,   102t cos(t^2)   )\\

And also remember that

|r'(t)| = \sqrt{(-10*2tsin(t^2))^2  +  ( 10*2t cos(t^2) )^2} \\\\       = \sqrt{400 t^2*(  sin(t^2)^2  +  cos(t^2) ^2 })\\=\sqrt{400t^2} = 20t

Therefore

T(t) = r'(t) / |r'(t) | =  (  -10*2tsin(t^2) ,   10*2t cos(t^2)   )/ 20t\\\\ = (  -10*2tsin(t^2)/ 20t ,   10*2t cos(t^2) / 20t  )\\= ( -sin(t^2), cos(t^2) )

Similarly, using the quotient rule and the chain rule

T'(t) = ( -2t cos(t^2) , -2t sin(t^2))

And also

|T'(t)| = \sqrt{  ( -2t cos(t^2))^2 + (-2t sin(t^2))^2} = \sqrt{ 4t^2 ( ( cos(t^2))^2 + ( sin(t^2))^2)} = \sqrt{4t^2} \\ = 2t

Therefore

N(t) = T'(t) / |T'(t) |  =   (-cos(t^2) , -sin(t^2))

Notice that

1.   |N(t)| = |T(t) | = \sqrt{ cos(t^2)^2  + sin(t^2)^2 } = \sqrt{1} =  1

2.   N(t)*T(T) = cos(t^2) sin(t^2 ) - cos(t^2) sin(t^2 ) = 0

b.

Simlarly

r'(t) = (2t,-6,0) \\

and

|r'(t)| = \sqrt{(2t)^2   + 6^2} = \sqrt{4t^2   + 36}

Therefore

T(t) =r'(t)/|r'(t)| =  (2t/ \sqrt{4t^2   + 36} , -6/\sqrt{4t^2   + 36},0)

Then

T'(t) = (9/(9 + t^2)^{3/2} , (3 t)/(9 + t^2)^{3/2},0)

and also

|T'(t)| = \sqrt{ ( (9/(9 + t^2)^{3/2} )^2 +   ( (3 t)/(9 + t^2)^{3/2})^2  +  0^2 }\\= 3/(t^2 + 9 )

And since

N(t) =T(t)/|T'(t)| =  (3/(9 + t^2)^{1/2} , t/(9 + t^2)^{1/2},0)

One non-negative number is the reciprocal of another number. The sum of the two numbers is a minimum. What are the two numbers
Troyanec [42]

The two numbers are 1 and 1.

Let the non-negative number be x and its reciprocal be y = 1/x

The sum of the two numbers is f(x,y) = x + y

= x + 1/x

= f(x)

For f(x) to be minimum, we differentiate it with respect to x and equate it to zero to find the value of x at which irt is minimum.

So, df(x)/dx = d(x + 1/x)/dx

= dx/dx + d(1/x)/dx

= 1 - 1/x²

Equating it to zero, we have

1 - 1/x² = 0

1 = 1/x²

x² = 1

Taking square-root of both sides, we have

x = ±√1

x = ±1

Since x is non-negative x = + 1

We differentiate f(x) again to determine if this value gives a minimum for f(x).

So, d²f(x)/dx² = d(1 - 1/x²)/dx

= d1/dx - d(1/x²)/dx

= 0 - × (-2/x³)

= 2/x³

Substituting x = 1 into the equation,

d²f(x)/dx² = 2/x³

= 2/1³

= 2 > 0.

So x = 1 is a minimum point for f(x)

Since x = 1 and y = 1/x, y = 1/1 = 1

So, the two numbers are 1 and 1.
