Consider the space curve with vector equation r(t) = <1, 2t 2 , t3>. Find (i) symmetric equations for the tangent line at the point where t = 1; (ii) the length of the arc from the point where t = 0 to the point where t = 1
Vector Arithmetic
Vectors are those objects which have a magnitude along with the direction. In vector arithmetic, we will see how arithmetic operators like addition and multiplication are used on any two vectors. Arithmetic in basic means dealing with numbers. Here, magnitude means the length or the size of an object. The notation used is the arrow over the head of the vector indicating its direction.
Vector Calculus
Vector calculus is an important branch of mathematics and it relates two important branches of mathematics namely vector and calculus.
Consider the space curve with
(i) symmetric equations for the tangent line at the point where t = 1;
(ii) the length of the arc from the point where t = 0 to the point where t = 1
