for 6= 0 and 0 when = 0. So the curve lies entirely in the first octant.
The projection onto the -plane is = 3 , 0, a half cubic, and the projection
15. The projection of the curve onto the -plane is given by r() = h sin 0i [we use 0 for the -component] whose graph
is the curve = sin , = 0. Similarly, the projection onto the -plane is r() = h 0 2 cos i, whose graph is the cosine
wave = 2 cos , = 0, and the projection onto the -plane is r() = h0 sin 2 cos i whose graph is the ellipse
2 + 14 2 = 1, = 0.
From the projection onto the -plane we see that the curve lies on an elliptical
cylinder with axis the -axis. The other two projections show that the curve
oscillates both vertically and horizontally as we move in the -direction,
suggesting that the curve is an elliptical helix that spirals along the cylinder.
16. The projection of the curve onto the -plane is given by r() = h 0i whose graph is the line = , = 0.
The projection onto the -plane is r() = 0 2 whose graph is the parabola = 2 , = 0.
The projection onto the -plane is r() = 0 2 whose graph is the parabola = 2 , = 0.
From the projection onto the -plane we see that the curve lies on the vertical
plane = . The other two projections show that the curve is a parabola contained
in this plane.

18. Taking r0 = h−1 2 −2i and r1 = h−3 5 1i, we have from Equation 12.5.4
r() = (1 − ) r0 + r1 = (1 − ) h−1 2 −2i + h−3 5 1i, 0 ≤ ≤ 1 or r() = h−1 − 2 2 + 3 −2 + 3i, 0 ≤ ≤ 1.
Parametric equations are = −1 − 2, = 2 + 3, = −2 + 3, 0 ≤ ≤ 1.

21. = cos , = , = sin , ≥ 0. At any point ( ) on the curve, 2 + 2 = 2 cos2 + 2 sin2 = 2 = 2 so the
curve lies on the circular cone 2 + 2 = 2 with axis the -axis. Also notice that ≥ 0; the graph is II.
22. = cos , = sin , = 1(1 + 2 ). At any point on the curve we have 2 + 2 = cos2 + sin2 = 1, so the curve lies
on the circular cylinder 2 + 2 = 1 with axis the -axis. Notice that 0 ≤ 1 and = 1 only for = 0. A point ( )
on the curve lies directly above the point ( 0), which moves counterclockwise around the unit circle in the -plane as
increases, and → 0 as → ±∞. The graph must be VI.
23. = , = 1(1 + 2 ), = 2 . At any point on the curve we have = 2 , so the curve lies on a parabolic cylinder parallel
to the -axis. Notice that 0 ≤ 1 and ≥ 0. Also the curve passes through (0 1 0) when = 0 and → 0, → ∞ as
→ ±∞, so the graph must be V.
24. = cos , = sin , = cos 2. 2 + 2 = cos2 + sin2 = 1, so the curve lies on a circular cylinder with axis the
-axis. A point ( ) on the curve lies directly above or below ( 0), which moves around the unit circle in the -plane
with period 2. At the same time, the -value of the point ( ) oscillates with a period of . So the curve repeats itself and
the graph is I.
25. = cos 8, = sin 8, = 08 , ≥ 0. 2 + 2 = cos2 8 + sin2 8 = 1, so the curve lies on a circular cylinder with
axis the -axis. A point ( ) on the curve lies directly above the point ( 0), which moves counterclockwise around the
unit circle in the -plane as increases. The curve starts at (1 0 1), when = 0, and → ∞ (at an increasing rate) as
→ ∞, so the graph is IV.

= 2 = , so the curve lies on the cylinder = . Since = 2 = = 2 , the curve also lies on the parabolic
cylinder = 2 .

30. Here = 2 , = ln , = 1. The domain of r is (0 ∞), so = 2 ⇒ = ⇒ = ln . Thus one surface

containing the curve is the cylinder = ln or = ln 12 = 12 ln . Also = 1 = 1 , so the curve also lies on the
√
cylinder = 1 or = 1 2 , 0. Finally = 1 ⇒ = 1 ⇒ = ln (1), so the curve also lies on the
cylinder = ln(1) or = ln −1 = − ln . Note that the surface = ln() also contains the curve, since
31. Parametric equations for the curve are = , = 0, = 2 − 2 . Substituting into the equation of the paraboloid
32. Parametric equations for the helix are = sin , = cos , = . Substituting into the equation of the sphere gives
33. r() = hcos sin 2 sin sin 2 cos 2i.
34. r() = − 35. r() = sin 3 cos 14 sin 3 sin
36. r() = hcos(8 cos ) sin sin(8 cos ) sin cos i 37. r() = hcos 2 cos 3 cos 4i
From the projection onto the -plane we see that from above the curve appears to be shaped like a “figure eight.”
The curve can be visualized as this shape wrapped around an almost parabolic cylindrical surface, the profile of
which is visible in the projection onto the -plane.
39. = (1 + cos 16) cos , = (1 + cos 16) sin , = 1 + cos 16. At any
point on the graph,
From the graph at left, we see that this curve looks like the projection of a
leaved two-dimensional curve onto a cone.

40. = 1 − 025 cos2 10 cos , = 1 − 025 cos2 10 sin ,
= 05 cos 10. At any point on the graph,
so the graph lies on the sphere 2 + 2 + 2 = 1, and since = 05 cos 10
the graph resembles a trigonometric curve with ten peaks projected onto the
sphere. We get the complete graph for 0 ≤ ≤ 2.
41. If = −1, then = 1, = 4, = 0, so the curve passes through the point (1 4 0). If = 3, then = 9, = −8, = 28,
so the curve passes through the point (9 −8 28). For the point (4 7 −6) to be on the curve, we require = 1 − 3 = 7 ⇒
= −2 But then = 1 + (−2)3 = −7 6= −6, so (4 7 −6) is not on the curve.
42. The projection of the curve of intersection onto the -plane is the circle 2 + 2 = 4, = 0.
Then we can write = 2 cos , = 2 sin , 0 ≤ ≤ 2. Since also lies on the surface = , we have
= = (2 cos )(2 sin ) = 4 cos sin , or 2 sin(2). Then parametric equations for are = 2 cos , = 2 sin ,
= 2 sin(2), 0 ≤ ≤ 2, and the corresponding vector function is r() = 2 cos i + 2 sin j + 2 sin(2) k, 0 ≤ ≤ 2.

(2 − 1). We can form parametric equations for the curve of intersection by choosing a
parameter = , then = 12 (2 − 1) and = 1 + = 1 + 12 (2 − 1) = 12 (2 + 1). Thus a vector function representing
44. The projection of the curve of intersection onto the -plane is the parabola = 2 , = 0. Then we can choose the
parameter = ⇒ = 2 . Since also lies on the surface = 42 + 2 , we have = 42 + 2 = 42 + (2 )2 .
Then parametric equations for are = , = 2 , = 42 + 4 , and the corresponding vector function
is r() = i + 2 j + (42 + 4 ) k.
45. The projection of the curve of intersection onto the -plane is the circle 2 + 2 = 1, = 0, so we can write = cos ,
= sin , 0 ≤ ≤ 2. Since also lies on the surface = 2 − 2 , we have = 2 − 2 = cos2 − sin2 or cos 2.
Thus parametric equations for are = cos , = sin , = cos 2, 0 ≤ ≤ 2, and the corresponding vector function
is r() = cos i + sin j + cos 2 k, 0 ≤ ≤ 2.
46. The projection of the curve of intersection onto the -plane is the circle 2 + 2 = 1, = 0, so we can write = cos ,

Note that is positive because the intersection is with the top half of the ellipsoid. Hence the curve is given
by = , = 2 , = 4 − 14 2 − 4 .

49. For the particles to collide, we require r1 () = r2 () ⇔ 7 − 12 2 = 4 − 3 2 5 − 6 . Equating components
= 1 + 2, 2 = 1 + 6, and 3 = 1 + 14. The first equation gives = −1, but this does not satisfy the other equations, so
the particles do not collide. For the paths to intersect, we need to find a value for and a value for where r1 () = r2 () ⇔

= h1 + 2 1 + 6 1 + 14i. Equating components, = 1 + 2, 2 = 1 + 6, and 3 = 1 + 14. Substituting the
third equation. Thus the paths intersect twice, at the point (1 1 1) when = 0 and = 1, and at (2 4 8) when = 1

and = 2.
51. (a) We plot the parametric equations for 0 ≤ ≤ 2 in the first figure. We get a better idea of the shape of the curve if we plot
it simultaneously with the hyperboloid of one sheet from part (b), as shown in the second figure.

We show a computer-drawn graph of the curve from above, as well as views from the front and from the right side.
The top view graph shows a more accurate representation of the projection of the trefoil knot onto the -plane (the axes are
rotated 90◦ ). Notice the indentations the graph exhibits at the points corresponding to = 1. Finally, we graph several
additional viewpoints of the trefoil knot, along with two plots showing a tube of radius 02 around the curve.

(b) = 2[r(45) − r(4)], so we draw a vector in the same

direction but with twice the length of the vector r(45) − r(4).
r(42) − r(4)
= 5[r(42) − r(4)], so we draw a vector in the same
02
direction but with 5 times the length of the vector r(42) − r(4).
(d) T(4) is a unit vector in the same direction as r0 (4), that is, parallel to the
tangent line to the curve at r(4) with length 1.
2. (a) The curve can be represented by the parametric equations = 2 , = , 0 ≤ ≤ 2. Eliminating the parameter, we have
= 2 , 0 ≤ ≤ 2, a portion of which we graph here, along with the vectors r(1), r(11), and r(11) − r(1).
(b) Since r() = 2 , we differentiate components, giving r0 () = h2 1i, so r0 (1) = h2 1i.
As we can see from the graph, these vectors are very close in length and direction. r0 (1) is defined to be
r(1 + ) − r(1) r(11) − r(1)

r0 () · r00 () = 22 −2−2 (2 + 1)2 · 42 4−2 (4 + 4)2
corresponds to = 1, so the tangent vector there is r0 (1) = h2 2 1i. Thus, the tangent line goes through the point (2 4 1)
and is parallel to the vector h2 2 1i. Parametric equations are = 2 + 2, = 4 + 2, = 1 + .
24. The vector equation for the curve is r() = ln( + 1) cos 2 2 , so r0 () = 1( + 1) cos 2 − 2 sin 2 2 ln 2 . The
point (0 0 1) corresponds to = 0, so the tangent vector there is r0 (0) = h1 1 ln 2i. Thus, the tangent line goes through the
point (0 0 1) and is parallel to the vector h1 1 ln 2i. Parametric equations are = 0 + 1 · = , = 0 + 1 · = ,
= 1 + (ln 2).
25. The vector equation for the curve is r() = − cos − sin − , so

27. First we parametrize the curve of intersection. The projection of onto the -plane is contained in the circle
2 + 2 = 25, = 0, so we can write = 5 cos , = 5 sin . also lies on the cylinder 2 + 2 = 20, and ≥ 0
near the point (3 4 2), so we can write = 20 − 2 = 20 − 25 sin2 . A vector equation then for is
r() = 5 cos 5 sin 20 − 25 sin2 ⇒ r0 () = −5 sin 5 cos 12 (20 − 25 sin2 )−12 (−50 sin cos ) .
The point (3 4 2) corresponds to = cos−1 35 , so the tangent vector there is
2 −12
r0 cos−1 35 = −5 45 5 35 12 20 − 25 45 −50 45 35 = h−4 3 −6i.
The tangent line is parallel to this vector and passes through (3 4 2), so a vector equation for the line
28. r() = 2 cos 2 sin ⇒ r0 () = −2 sin 2 cos . The tangent line to the curve is parallel to the plane when the
√
curve’s tangent vector is orthogonal to the plane’s normal vector. Thus we require −2 sin 2 cos · 3 1 0 = 0 ⇒

r 6 = 3 1 6 , so the point is ( 3 1 6 ).
29. r() = − 2 − 2 ⇒ r0 () = 1 −− 2 − 2 . At (0 1 0),
= 0 and r0 (0) = h1 −1 2i. Thus, parametric equations of the tangent
31. r() = h cos sin i ⇒ r0 () = hcos − sin 1 cos + sin i.
32. (a) The tangent line at = 0 is the line through the point with position vector r(0) = hsin 0 2 sin 0 cos 0i = h0 0 1i, and in
the direction of the tangent vector, r0 (0) = h cos 0 2 cos 0 − sin 0i = h 2 0i. So an equation of the line is
33. The angle of intersection of the two curves is the angle between the two tangent vectors to the curves at the point of
intersection. Since r01 () = 1 2 32 and = 0 at (0 0 0), r01 (0) = h1 0 0i is a tangent vector to r1 at (0 0 0). Similarly,
r02 () = hcos 2 cos 2 1i and since r2 (0) = h0 0 0i, r02 (0) = h1 2 1i is a tangent vector to r2 at (0 0 0). If is the angle
between these two tangent vectors, then cos = √11√6 h1 0 0i · h1 2 1i = √16 and = cos−1 √16 ≈ 66◦ .
34. To find the point of intersection, we must find the values of and which satisfy the following three equations simultaneously:
= 3 − , 1 − = − 2, 3 + 2 = 2 . Solving the last two equations gives = 1, = 2 (check these in the first equation).
Thus the point of intersection is (1 0 4). To find the angle of intersection, we proceed as in Exercise 33. The tangent
vectors to the respective curves at (1 0 4) are r01 (1) = h1 −1 2i and r02 (2) = h−1 1 4i. So
cos = √61√18 (−1 − 1 + 8) = 6√ 6
3
= √13 and = cos−1 √13 ≈ 55◦ .
Note: In Exercise 33, the curves intersect when the value of both parameters is zero. However, as seen in this exercise, it is not
necessary for the parameters to be of equal value at the point of intersection.

51. r() = a cos + b sin ⇒ r0 () = −a sin + b cos by Formulas 1 and 3 of Theorem 3. Then

53. [r() × r0 ()] = r0 () × r0 () + r() × r00 () by Formula 5 of Theorem 3. But r0 () × r0 () = 0 (by Example 12.4.2).
Thus, [r() × r0 ()] = r() × r00 ().

The appearance of the two humps in this graph is perhaps a little surprising, but it is

sharply as it approaches these cusps (mostly in the -direction) and bends most gradually between these, near its intersections

We plot the space curve and its curvature function for −5 ≤ ≤ 5 below.
From the graph of () we see that curvature is maximized for = 0, so the curve bends most sharply at the point (0 1 0).
The curve bends more gradually as we move away from this point, becoming almost linear. This is reflected in the curvature

nearly straight. So, must be the graph of = (), and is the graph of = ().

the osculating circle has radius 1 and center (0 1), and hence equation 2 + ( − 1)2 = 1. The curvature at 1 12
1 1
is (1) = = √ . The tangent line to the parabola at 1 12
(1 + 12 )32 2 2
has slope 1, so the normal line has slope −1. Thus the center of the
osculating circle lies in the direction of the unit vector − √12 √12 .
√
The circle has radius 2 2, so its center has position vector

1 2 + 2 2 − √12 √12 = −1 52 . So the equation of the circle

53. Here r() = 3 3 4 , and r0 () = 32 3 43 is normal to the normal plane for any . The given plane has normal vector
h6 6 −8i, and the planes are parallel when their normal vectors are parallel. Thus we need to find a value for where
2
3 3 43 = h6 6 −8i for some 6= 0. From the -component we see that = 12 , and
2
3 3 43 = 1
2
h6 6 −8i = h3 3 −4i for = −1. Thus the planes are parallel at the point (−1 −3 1).
54. To find the osculating plane, we first calculate the unit tangent and normal vectors.
In Maple, we use the VectorCalculus package and set r:= tˆ3,3*t,tˆ4;. After differentiating, the
Normalize command converts the tangent vector to the unit tangent vector: T:=Normalize(diff(r,t));. After
In Mathematica, we define the vector function r={tˆ3,3*t,tˆ4} and use the command Dt to differentiate. We find
T() by dividing the result by its magnitude, computed using the Norm command. (You may wish to include the option
Element[t,Reals] to obtain simpler expressions.) N() is found similarly, and we use Cross[T,N] to find B().
Now B() is parallel to 62 −24 −3 , so if B() is parallel to h1 1 1i for some 6= 0 [since B(0) = 0], then
2
6 −24 −3 = h1 1 1i for some value of . But then 62 = −24 = −3 which has no solution for 6= 0. So there is
55. First we parametrize the curve of intersection. We can choose = ; then = 2 = 2 and = 2 = 4 , and the curve is
given by r() = 2 4 . r0 () = 2 1 43 and the point (1 1 1) corresponds to = 1, so r0 (1) = h2 1 4i is a normal
vector for the normal plane. Thus an equation of the normal plane is
r0 () 1
2( − 1) + 1( − 1) + 4( − 1) = 0 or 2 + + 4 = 7. T() = = √ 2 1 43 and

T0 () = − 12 (42 + 1 + 166 )−32 (8 + 965 ) 2 1 43 + (42 + 1 + 166 )−12 2 0 122 . A normal vector for
the osculating plane is B(1) = T(1) × N(1), but r0 (1) = h2 1 4i is parallel to T(1) and
so h2 1 4i × h−31 −26 22i = h126 −168 −21i is normal to the osculating plane. Thus an equation for the osculating
r0 () 1
56. r() = + 2 1 − 12 2 ⇒ r0 () = h1 −1 i, T() = = √ h1 −1 i,
|r0 ()| 2 + 2
A normal vector for the osculating plane is B() = T() × N(), but r0 () = h1 −1 i is parallel to T() and h − −2i
is parallel to T0 () and hence parallel to N(), so h1 −1 i × h − −2i = 2 + 2 2 + 2 0 is normal to the
osculating plane for any . All such vectors are parallel to h1 1 0i, so at any point + 2 1 − 12 2 on the curve, an
equation for the osculating plane is 1[ − ( + 2)] + 1[ − (1 − )] + 0 − 12 2 = 0 or + = 3. Because the osculating
plane at every point on the curve is the same, we can conclude that the curve itself lies in that same plane. In fact, we can

For 0 to be continuous, we must have 0 (0) = 0 (1) = 0. The curvature of the curve = () at the point ( ())

1. (a) If r() = () i + () j + () k is the position vector of the particle at time t, then the average velocity over the time
interval [0 1] is
(b) We can estimate the velocity at = 1 by averaging the average velocities over the time intervals [05 1] and [1 15]:
v(1) ≈ 12 [(2 i − 24 j − 06 k) + (28 i + 08 j − 04 k)] = 24 i − 08 j − 05 k. Then the speed is

(d) v(2) is tangent to the curve at r(2) and points in the direction of

estimate the speed by averaging the lengths of the vectors found in
parts (a) and (b) which represent the average speed over 2 ≤ ≤ 24 and
15 ≤ ≤ 2 respectively. Using the axes scale as a guide, we estimate the
vectors to have lengths 28 and 27. Thus, we estimate the speed at = 2
to be |v(2)| ≈ 12 (28 + 27) = 275 and we draw the velocity vector v(2)

and |v()| = 12 (82 − 64 + 281)−12 (16 − 64). This is zero if and only if the numerator is zero, that is,
√
16 − 64 = 0 or = 4. Since |v()| 0 for 4 and |v()| 0 for 4, the minimum speed of 153 is attained
at = 4 units of time.
21. |F()| = 20 N in the direction of the positive -axis, so F() = 20 k. Also = 4 kg, r(0) = 0 and v(0) = i − j.
Since 20k = F() = 4 a(), a() = 5 k. Then v() = 5 k + c1 where c1 = i − j so v() = i − j + 5 k and the

speed is |v()| = 1 + 1 + 252 = 252 + 2. Also r() = i − j + 52 2 k + c2 and 0 = r(0), so c2 = 0
and r() = i − j + 52 2 k.
22. The argument here is the same as that in Example 13.2.4 with r() replaced by v() and r0 () replaced by a().
23. |v(0)| = 200 ms and, since the angle of elevation is 60◦ , a unit vector in the direction of the velocity is

j = 100 i + 100 3 j and if we set up the axes so that the
projectile starts at the origin, then r(0) = 0. Ignoring air resistance, the only force is that due to gravity, so
F() = a() = − j where ≈ 98 ms2 . Thus a() = −98 j and, integrating, we have v() = −98 j + C. But
√ √
100 i + 100 3 j = v(0) = C, so v() = 100 i + 100 3 − 98 j and then (integrating again)
√
r() = 100 i + 100 3 − 492 j + D where 0 = r(0) = D. Thus the position function of the projectile is
√
r() = 100 i + 100 3 − 492 j.

(a) Parametric equations for the projectile are () = 100, () = 100 3 − 492 . The projectile reaches the ground when

But r(0) = 100 j, so D = 100 j and r() = 100 i + 100 + 100 3 − 492 j.

(a) = 0 ⇒ 100 + 100 3 − 492 = 0 or 492 − 100 3 − 100 = 0. From the quadratic formula we have

Alternate solution: Because the projectile is fired in the same direction and with the same velocity as in Exercise 23,
but from a point 100 m higher, the maximum height reached is 100 m higher than that found in Exercise 23, that is,

velocity is 0 = 90 ≈ 30 ms.
26. Let be the angle of elevation. Here 0 = 400 ms and from Example 5, the horizontal distance traveled by the projectile is
2 ≈ 180◦ − 106◦ = 1694◦ . Thus two angles of elevation are ≈ 53◦ and ≈ 847◦ .
27. As in Example 5, r() = (0 cos 36◦ ) i + (0 sin 36◦ ) − 12 2 j and then
v() = r0 () = (0 cos 36◦ ) i + [(0 sin 36◦ ) − ] j. The shell reaches its maximum height when the vertical component of

the catapulted rock is given by r () = (80 cos ) i + (80 sin ) − 492 j. The top of the near city wall is at (100 15),

rock lands beyond the enclosed city ground for 334◦ 566◦ , and the angles that allow the rock to land on city ground

Solutions are tan ≈ 0727506, 144936 ⇒ ≈ 360◦ , 554◦ , so the catapult should be set with angle where

r() = 50 i − 22 j + (80 − 162 ) k (note that r0 = 0). The ball lands when the -component of r() is zero
r(5) = 50(5) i − 2(5)2 j + [80(5) − 16(5)2 ] k = 250 i − 50 j or equivalently the point (250 −50 0). This is a distance of

32. Place the ball at the origin and consider j to be pointing in the northward direction with i pointing east and k pointing
upward. Force = mass × acceleration ⇒ acceleration = forcemass, so the wind applies a constant acceleration of
4 N08 kg = 5 ms2 in the easterly direction. Combined with the acceleration due to gravity, the acceleration acting on the
ball is a() = 5 i − 98 k. Then v() = a() = 5 i − 98 k + C where C is a constant vector.
√ √
We know v(0) = C = −30 cos 30◦ j + 30 sin 30◦ k = −15 3 j + 15 k ⇒ C = −15 3 j + 15 k and

v() = 5 i − 15 3 j + (15 − 98) k. r() = v() = 252 i − 15 3 j + 15 − 492 k + D but r(0) = D = 0

so r() = 252 i − 15 3 j + 15 − 492 k. The ball lands when 15 − 492 = 0 ⇒ = 0, = 1549 ≈ 30612 s,
so the ball lands at approximately r(30612) ≈ 2343 i − 7953 j which is 82.9 m away in the direction S 16.4◦ E. Its speed is

approximately |v(30612)| ≈ 15306 i − 15 3 j − 15 k ≈ 3368 ms.

east (upstream). The path does seem realistic. The boat initially heads
upstream to counteract the effect of the current. Near the center of the river,
the current is stronger and the boat is pushed downstream. When the boat
nears the eastern bank, the current is slower and the boat is able to progress
upstream to arrive at point .

35. If r0 () = c × r() then r0 () is perpendicular to both c and r(). Remember that r0 () points in the direction of motion, so if
r0 () is always perpendicular to c, the path of the particle must lie in a plane perpendicular to c. But r0 () is also perpendicular
to the position vector r() which confines the path to a sphere centered at the origin. Considering both restrictions, the path
must be contained in a circle that lies in a plane perpendicular to c, and the circle is centered on a line through the origin in the
direction of c.
36. (a) From Equation 7 we have a = 0 T + 2 N. If a particle moves along a straight line, then = 0 [see Section 13.3], so the
acceleration vector becomes a = 0 T. Because the acceleration vector is a scalar multiple of the unit tangent vector, it is
parallel to the tangent vector.
(b) If the speed of the particle is constant, then 0 = 0 and Equation 7 gives a = 2 N. Thus the acceleration vector is
parallel to the unit normal vector (which is perpendicular to the tangent vector and points in the direction that the curve is
turning).

the scalar projection of a in the tangential direction to the curve and estimate its length to
be 45 (using the fact that a has length 10 as a guide). Similarly, the normal component of
a is the length of the projection of a onto N, so we sketch the scalar projection of a in the
normal direction to the curve and estimate its length to be 90. Thus ≈ 45 cms2 and

1. True. If we reparametrize the curve by replacing = 3 , we have r() = i + 2 j + 3 k, which is a line through the origin
2. True. Parametric equations for the curve are = 0, = 2 , = 4, and since = 4 we have = 2 = (4)2 or
16 ,
1 2
= = 0. This is an equation of a parabola in the -plane.
3. False. The vector function represents a line, but the line does not pass through the origin; the -component is 0 only for = 0
5. False. By Formula 5 of Theorem 13.2.3, [u() × v()] = u0 () × v() + u() × v0 ().
6. False. For example, let r() = hcos sin i. Then |r()| = cos2 + sin2 = 1 ⇒ |r()| = 0, but
|r0 ()| = |h− sin cos i| = (− sin )2 + cos2 = 1.
7. False. is the magnitude of the rate of change of the unit tangent vector T with respect to arc length , not with respect to .
8. False. The binormal vector, by the definition given in Section 13.3, is B() = T() × N() = − [N() × T()].
9. True. At an inflection point where is twice continuously differentiable we must have 00 () = 0, and by Equation 13.3.11,
10. True. From Equation 13.3.9 , () = 0 ⇔ |T0 ()| = 0 ⇔ T0 () = 0 for all . But then T() = C, a constant vector,
which is true only for a straight line.
11. False. If r() is the position of a moving particle at time and |r()| = 1 then the particle lies on the unit circle or the unit
√
sphere, but this does not mean that the speed |r0 ()| must be constant. As a counterexample, let r() = 1 − 2 , then
√ √ √
r0 () = 1 − 1 − 2 and |r()| = 2 + 1 − 2 = 1 but |r0 ()| = 1 + 2 (1 − 2 ) = 1 1 − 2 which is not
constant.
14. False. For example, r1 () = h i and r2 () = h2 2i both represent the same plane curve (the line = ), but the tangent
vector r01 () = h1 1i for all , while r02 () = h2 2i. In fact, different parametrizations give parallel tangent vectors at a point,
but their magnitudes may differ.
3. The projection of the curve of intersection onto the -plane is the circle 2 + 2 = 16 = 0. So we can write

(b) The curve is given by r() = 2 − 3 2 − 1 ln , so r0 () = −32 2 1 . The point (1 1 0) corresponds to = 1, so

r01 () = − sin i + cos j + k ⇒ r01 (0) = j + k and r02 () = i + 2 j + 32 k ⇒ r02 (0) = i.
r01 (0) · r02 (0) = (j + k) · i = 0. Therefore, the curves intersect in a right angle, that is, = 90◦ .

21. Example 13.4.5 showed that the maximum horizontal range is achieved with an angle of elevation of 45 ◦ . In this case,
however, the projectile would hit the top of the tunnel using that angle. The horizontal range will be maximized with the
largest angle of elevation that keeps the projectile within a height of 30 m. From Example 13.4.5 we know that the position
function of the projectile is r() = (0 cos ) i + (0 sin ) − 12 2 j and the velocity is
v() = r0 () = (0 cos ) i + [(0 sin ) − ] j. The projectile achieves its maximum height when the vertical component of
0 sin
velocity is zero, so (0 sin ) − = 0 ⇒ = . We want the vertical height of the projectile at that time to be

23. (a) Instead of proceeding directly, we use Formula 3 of Theorem 13.2.3: r() = R() ⇒
(b) Using the same method as in part (a) and starting with v = R() + R0 (), we have
(c) Here we have r() = − cos i + − sin j = − R(). So, as in parts (a) and (b),
a = v0 = − [R00 () − R0 ()] − − [R0 () − R()] = − [R00 () − 2 R0 () + R()]
Thus, the Coriolis acceleration (the sum of the “extra” terms not involving a ) is −2− v + − R.

v = (− sin i + cos j). v · r = 2 (− cos sin + sin cos ) = 0, so v ⊥ r. Since r points along a
radius of the circle, and v ⊥ r, v is tangent to the circle. Because it is a velocity vector, v points in the direction of motion.
(b) In (a), we wrote v in the form u, where u is the unit vector − sin i + cos j. Clearly |v| = |u| = . At

(b) Let = 02 . We are asked to consider the parabola 2 + 2 − 2 = 0 which can be rewritten as = − + .
2 2
−1 2
The points on or inside this parabola are those for which − ≤ ≤ and 0 ≤ ≤ + . When the projectile is
2 2
fired at angle of elevation , the points ( ) along its path satisfy the relations = (0 cos ) and
= (0 sin ) − 12 2 , where 0 ≤ ≤ (20 sin ) (as in Example 13.4.5). Thus

Now let ( ) be any point on or inside the parabola = − + . Then − ≤ ≤ and 0 ≤ ≤ − + .

We seek an angle such that ( ) lies in the path of the projectile; that is, we wish to find an angle such that

2
tan2 − tan + + = 0 or 2 (tan )2 − 2(tan ) + (2 + 2) = 0 () . This quadratic equation
2 2
for tan has real solutions exactly when the discriminant is nonnegative. Now 2 − 4 ≥ 0 ⇔

(c) If the gun is pointed at a target with height at a distance downrange, then

4. (a) As in Problem 3, r() = (0 cos ) i + (0 sin ) − 12 2 j, so = (0 cos ) and = (0 sin ) − 12 2 . The

(c) The solution is similar to the solutions to parts (a) and (b). This time the projectile travels until it reaches a point where
0 and = (tan ). Since tan = − tan(−), we obtain the solution from the previous one by replacing with −.
The desired angle is = 12 2 + .
(d) As observed in part (c), firing the projectile up an inclined plane with angle of inclination involves the same equations as
in parts (a) and (b) but with replaced by −. So if is the distance up an inclined plane, we know from part (b) that

6. By the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, r0 () = sin 2 cos 12 2 , |r0 ()| = 1 and so T() = r0 ().

Thus T0 () = cos 12 2 − sin 12 2 and the curvature is = |T0 ()| = ()2 (1) = ||.
7. The trajectory of the projectile is given by r() = ( cos ) i + ( sin ) − 12 2 j, so
(0) = 0, (2) = 2 , and (09855) ≈ 120 2 . Thus the distance traveled by the projectile is maximized
for ≈ 09855 or ≈ 56◦ .

9. We can write the vector equation as r() = a2 + b + c where a = h1 2 3 i, b = h1 2 3 i, and c = h1 2 3 i.
Then r0 () = 2 a + b which says that each tangent vector is the sum of a scalar multiple of a and the vector b. Thus the
tangent vectors are all parallel to the plane determined by a and b so the curve must be parallel to this plane. [Here we assume
that a and b are nonparallel. Otherwise the tangent vectors are all parallel and the curve lies along a single line.] A normal
vector for the plane is a × b = h2 3 − 3 2 3 1 − 1 3 1 2 − 2 1 i. The point (1, 2 , 3 ) lies on the plane (when
