Solutions homework 5.
Problem page 70: 1. Solution: (a) F0(t) = cos tisin tj.
(b) F0(t)·k= 0.
(c) F0(t)·j=sin t= 0 for t= where n= 0,±1,±2,· ··.
(d) Yes, since |F(t)|=sin2t+ cos2t+ 1 = 2.
(e) Yes, since |F0(t)|=cos2t+ sin2t= 1.
(f) F00 (t) = sin ticos tj.
Problem page 70: 2. Solution: See back of the book.
Problem page 70: 4. Note for any vector A, we have A×A=0. Now by the product

Solutions homework 5.

Problem page 70: 1. Solution: (a) F′(t) = cos ti − sin tj. (b) F′(t) · k = 0. (c) F′(t) · j = − sin t = 0 for t = nπ where n = 0, ± 1 , ± 2 , · · ·.

(d) Yes, since |F(t)| =

sin^2 t + cos^2 t + 1 =

(e) Yes, since |F′(t)| =

cos^2 t + sin^2 t = 1. (f) F′′(t) = − sin ti − cos tj. Problem page 70: 2. Solution: See back of the book. Problem page 70: 4. Note for any vector A, we have A × A = 0. Now by the product rule d dt
