Study Notes
- A vector function r maps a real number to a vector.
Definition
- Two-dimensional vector function: r(t) = f(t)i + g(t)j = <f(t), g(t)>, where f and g are real functions.
- Three-dimensional vector function: r(t) = f(t)i + g(t)j + h(t)k = <f(t), g(t), h(t)>, where f, g, and h are real functions.
Example
- A helix can be represented by the vector function r(t) = cos t i + sin t j + t k.
Limit of a Vector Function
- If r(t) = <f(t), g(t)>, then lim (t→a) r(t) = <lim (t→a) f(t), lim (t→a) g(t)>.
- If r(t) = <f(t), g(t), h(t)>, then lim (t→a) r(t) = <lim (t→a) f(t), lim (t→a) g(t), lim (t→a) h(t)>, provided the component function limits exist.
Continuity
- A vector function r is continuous at a if lim (t→a) r(t) = r(a).
Derivatives
- For r(t) = <f(t), g(t)>, where f and g are differentiable, r'(t) = <f'(t), g'(t)>.
- For r(t) = <f(t), g(t), h(t)>, where f, g, and h are differentiable, r'(t) = <f'(t), g'(t), h'(t)>.
Differentiation Rules
- d/dt [u(t) + v(t)] = u'(t) + v'(t)
- d/dt [c u(t)] = c u'(t)
- d/dt [f(t) u(t)] = f'(t) u(t) + f(t) u'(t)
- d/dt [u(t) â‹… v(t)] = u'(t) â‹… v(t) + u(t) â‹… v'(t)
- d/dt [u(t) × v(t)] = u'(t) × v(t) + u(t) × v'(t)
- d/dt [u(f(t))] = f'(t) u'(f(t))
Integrals
- If r(t) = <f(t), g(t)>, then ∫(a to b) r(t) dt = <∫(a to b) f(t) dt, ∫(a to b) g(t) dt>.
- If r(t) = <f(t), g(t), h(t)>, then ∫(a to b) r(t) dt = <∫(a to b) f(t) dt, ∫(a to b) g(t) dt, ∫(a to b) h(t) dt>.
