Study Notes
Function Definition and Differentiation
- Let ( f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R} ) be defined as ( f(t) = h(x(t), y(t)) ), where ( h: \mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R} ) is differentiable.
- The derivative ( f'(t) ) can be calculated using the chain rule.
Differentiation Using Chain Rule
- For ( x(t) ) and ( y(t) ):
- ( f'(t) = \frac{\partial h}{\partial x}(x(t), y(t)) \cdot x'(t) + \frac{\partial h}{\partial y}(x(t), y(t)) \cdot y'(t) )
Specific Function Evaluation
- Given ( x(t) = t ) and ( y(t) = t^2 ):
- Calculate derivatives: ( x'(t) = 1 ) and ( y'(t) = 2t )
- The evaluation point ( t = 1 ):
- ( f'(1) = \frac{\partial h}{\partial x}(1,2) \cdot 1 + \frac{\partial h}{\partial y}(1,1) \cdot 2 )
Provided Partial Derivatives
- ( \frac{\partial h}{\partial x}(1, 2) = 3 )
- ( \frac{\partial h}{\partial x}(1, 1) = 2 )
- ( \frac{\partial h}{\partial y}(1, 2) = -4 )
- ( \frac{\partial h}{\partial y}(1, 1) = 1 )
Value Calculation for ( f'(1) )
- Substituting values:
- ( f'(1) = 3 \cdot 1 + 2 \cdot 2 )
- ( f'(1) = 3 + 4 = 7 )
Vector Field and Curl Condition
- Given vector field ( F(x, y, z) = (y, x + g(z), 7yz^6) )
- Condition for curl ( \nabla \times F = (0, 0, 0) )
- Find function ( g(z) ) that meets this criterion.
Directional Derivative
- Compute directional derivative of ( f(x, y, z) = xy^2 z + g(z) ) at point ( (2, 2, 2) ) along vector ( (2, 0, 0) ).
- Requires calculating gradients and projecting along the direction of the vector.
Gradient and Divergence Properties
- For scalar function ( f(x, y, z) = xyz ) and vector field ( F(x, y, z) = (x, y, z) ):
- Verify properties at point ( (1, 1, 1) ):
- ( \nabla \times \nabla f = 0 ) (not equal to 1).
- ( \nabla \cdot (\nabla \times F) = 0 ).
- ( F ) is deemed incompressible if ( \nabla \cdot F = 0 ).
- Verify properties at point ( (1, 1, 1) ):
Parametric Curve and Orientation
- Curve ( r(t) = (4 \sin t, 4 \cos t) ) represents circular motion for ( t \in [0, \pi] ).
- Check options for the curve's orientation.
Line Integral Evaluation
- Evaluate the line integral ( \int_C (x , dy - y , dx) ) over the curve ( C ).
- Use parametrization of the curve to compute the integral value.
