Explanation Calculation: If a smooth curve in space is indicated by the position vector r ( t ) , and if s is the arc length parameter of the curve, then the unit tangent vector T is determined as follows: T = d r d s = v | v | (1) Then, the curvature in space is defined as, κ = | d T d s | = 1 | v | | d T d t | (2) Since the vector d T d s is perpendicular to T , then normal vector is defined as, N = 1 κ d T d s = d T d t | d T d t | (3) For example: Calculate the principal unit normal ( N ) for the helix r ( t ) = ( a cos t ) i + ( a sin t ) j + b t k , a , b ≥ 0 , a 2 + b 2 ≠ 0 which is shown in Figure 12.22 in the textbook and describe how the vector is pointing. The general expression to calculate the velocity. v = d r d t (4) Here, d r d t is the rate of change in displacement with respect to time. Substitute ( a cos t ) i + ( a sin t ) j + b t k for r ( t ) in equation (4). v = d d t [ ( a cos t ) i + ( a sin t ) j + b t k ] = − ( a sin t ) i + ( a cos t ) j + b k The magnitude of v is calculated as follows, | v | = ( − a sin t ) 2 + ( a cos t ) 2 + b 2 = a 2 sin 2 t + a 2 cos 2 t + b 2 = a 2 ( sin 2 t + cos 2 t ) + b 2 = a 2 + b 2 { ∵ sin 2 t + cos 2 t = 1 } Substitute − ( a sin t ) i + ( a cos t ) j + b k for v and a 2 + b 2 for | v | in equation (1)

Minimization

In mathematics, traditional optimization problems are typically expressed in terms of minimization. When we talk about minimizing or maximizing a function, we refer to the maximum and minimum possible values of that function. This can be expressed in ter…

Maxima and Minima

The extreme points of a function are the maximum and the minimum points of the function. A maximum is attained when the function takes the maximum value and a minimum is attained when the function takes the minimum value.

Derivatives

A derivative means a change. Geometrically it can be represented as a line with some steepness. Imagine climbing a mountain which is very steep and 500 meters high. Is it easier to climb? Definitely not! Suppose walking on the road for 500 meters. Which …

Concavity

In calculus, concavity is a descriptor of mathematics that tells about the shape of the graph. It is the parameter that helps to estimate the maximum and minimum value of any of the functions and the concave nature using the graphical method. We use the …

What is a solution to a differential equation? We said that a differential equation is an equation that describes the derivative, or derivatives, of a function that is unknown to us. By a solution to a differential equation, we mean simply a function that satisfies this description. 2. Here is a differential equation which describes an unknown position function s(t): ds dt 318 4t+1, ds (a) To check that s(t) = 2t2 + t is a solution to this differential equation, calculate you really do get 4t +1. and check that dt' (b) Is s(t) = 2t2 +++ 4 also a solution to this differential equation? (c) Is s(t)=2t2 + 3t also a solution to this differential equation? ds 1 dt (d) To find all possible solutions, start with the differential equation = 4t + 1, then move dt to the right side of the equation by multiplying, and then integrate both sides. What do you get? (e) Does this differential equation have a unique solution, or an infinite family of solutions?
