Explanation Given: The given curve is x ( t ) = cos 3 t , y ( t ) = sin 3 t . Formula used: Curvature = k = | | r ' ( t ) × r ' ' ( t ) | | | | r ' ( t ) | | 3 Calculation: The given curve can be written as r ( t ) = 〈 cos 3 t , sin 3 t 〉 . So, r ' ( t ) = 〈 − 3 cos 2 t sin t , 3 sin 2 t cos t 〉 ‖ r ' ( t ) ‖ = ( − 3 cos 2 t sin t ) 2 + ( 3 sin 2 t cos t ) 2 = 9 cos 4 t sin 2 t + 9 sin 4 t cos 2 t = 9 cos 2 t sin 2 t ( cos 2 t + sin 2 t ) = 9 cos 2 t sin 2 t ( 1 ) = 9 cos 2 t sin 2 t = 3 cos t sin t Now, r ' ' ( t ) = 〈 − 3 cos 3 t + 6 cos t sin 2 t , − 3 sin 3 t + 6 sin t cos 2 t 〉 . Then, find r ' ( t ) × r ' ' ( t ) . r ' ( t ) × r ' ' ( t ) = ( i ^ j ^ k ^ − 3 cos 2 t sin t 3 sin 2 t cos t 0 − 3 cos 3 t + 6 cos t sin 2 t − 3 sin 3 t + 6 sin t cos 2 t 0 ) = ( { [ − 3 cos 2 t sin t ] × [ − 3 sin 3 t + 6 sin t cos 2 t ] To determine (b) The minimum curvature and the point on the curve at which it occurs. To determine (c) For what value of t, curvature is undefined.
