Several points are indicated on the graph; they are shown as points, but you should: Draw all vectors below as arrows. When you are asked to sketch a vector in translated position, determine where to draw it so that its geometric significance becomes clear. Draw your vectors to approximately the right scale; each tick mark on the graph represents one unit. Everything should be drawn on the graph provided; if your picture gets too crowded, you may recopy the graph as needed. c) r0) r) d) e) r) b) is the circle a) Explain how you know that this graph was not parametrized using arc length. The distance between r0) and r) is more than, as is the distance between r) and r). Also, it appears that the distance between r) and r) is greater that that between r0) and r). If we use an arc length parametrization, the arc length between two points whose inputs are unit apart will always be. b) Sketch the osculating circle when t. The circle should touch the curve at r) and then align with the curve as closely as possible for as long as possible. c) Given that r 0), sketch r 0) in translated position. Note that: the tail of the vector is at r0) the length of the vector is approximately) the vector is tangent to the curve Page of
Math 3c Solutions: Exam Fall 07 the vector points left and down; this makes it consistent with the orientation. While the orientation was not shown, we know the orientation is the direction of increasing t, so we can determine the orientation by moving from r0) to r). d) Put a d on the graph at all points where you can see by inspection that the unit normal vector will not exist. We know that N always points to the concave side of the curve; this means that N will fail to exist at any point where the curve changes concavity. There is one such point on the curve above. e) Sketch 0 r t) dt in translated position. This is just r) r0), which is the vector that points from r0) to r). ; t 0.

They are not necessarily related in topic. a) State the Extreme Value Theorem for functions of variables.
