Study Notes
- A vector-valued function of a real variable is a function $\overrightarrow{r}: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^n$ which assigns a vector $\overrightarrow{r}(t)$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$ to each real number $t$.
- Example of a vector-valued function: $\overrightarrow{r}(t) = (t^2 + 1, \cos(t), e^t)$ is a vector-valued function of a real variable with values in $\mathbb{R}^3$.
Components
- If $\overrightarrow{r}(t) = (x_1(t), x_2(t), \dots, x_n(t))$, then the functions $x_i: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ are the components of $\overrightarrow{r}$.
- Example: for $\overrightarrow{r}(t) = (t^2 + 1, \cos(t), e^t)$, the components are $x_1(t) = t^2 + 1$, $x_2(t) = \cos(t)$ and $x_3(t) = e^t$.
Limit
- The limit of a vector-valued function $\overrightarrow{r}(t)$ as $t$ approaches $a$ is the vector $\overrightarrow{L}$ such that each component of $\overrightarrow{r}(t)$ approaches the corresponding component of $\overrightarrow{L}$ as $t$ approaches $a$. $$\lim_{t \to a} \overrightarrow{r}(t) = \overrightarrow{L} = (L_1, L_2, \dots, L_n)$$
- If and only if $$\lim_{t \to a} x_i(t) = L_i \quad \text{for each } i = 1, 2, \dots, n$$
- Example: $$\lim_{t \to 0} (t^2 + 1, \cos(t), e^t) = (1, 1, 1)$$
Continuity
- A vector-valued function $\overrightarrow{r}(t)$ is continuous at $t = a$ if the following conditions are met:
- $\overrightarrow{r}(a)$ is defined.
- $\lim_{t \to a} \overrightarrow{r}(t)$ exists.
- $\lim_{t \to a} \overrightarrow{r}(t) = \overrightarrow{r}(a)$.
- Equivalently, $\overrightarrow{r}(t)$ is continuous at $t = a$ if each of its components is continuous at $t = a$.
- Example: $\overrightarrow{r}(t) = (t^2 + 1, \cos(t), e^t)$ is continuous everywhere in $\mathbb{R}$ because each of its components is.
Derivative
- The derivative of a vector-valued function $\overrightarrow{r}(t)$ is defined as: $$\overrightarrow{r}'(t) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{\overrightarrow{r}(t + h) - \overrightarrow{r}(t)}{h}$$
- If $\overrightarrow{r}(t) = (x_1(t), x_2(t), \dots, x_n(t))$, then $$\overrightarrow{r}'(t) = (x_1'(t), x_2'(t), \dots, x_n'(t))$$
- Example: If $\overrightarrow{r}(t) = (t^2 + 1, \cos(t), e^t)$, then $\overrightarrow{r}'(t) = (2t, -\sin(t), e^t)$.
Integral
- The integral of a vector-valued function $\overrightarrow{r}(t)$ is defined as: $$\int \overrightarrow{r}(t) dt = \left( \int x_1(t) dt, \int x_2(t) dt, \dots, \int x_n(t) dt \right)$$
- Example: $$\int (t^2 + 1, \cos(t), e^t) dt = \left( \frac{t^3}{3} + t + C_1, \sin(t) + C_2, e^t + C_3 \right)$$
