If F t e2t 3tsin t and Gt t2 t3t find ddtGt ddtFGt ddtF Ti
Solution
PART 1. The absolute value (length) of vector G is the square root of [ t^4 + t^2 + 9 t^2]
or [t^4 + 10 t^2 ] or [ t^4 + 10 t^2 ]^ (1/2)
so its derivative is (1/2) (4 t^3 + 20 t ) / [t^4 + 20 t^2] which reduces and simplifies to
(2 t^2 + 10) / (t^2 + 20)
PART 2. The scalar dot product of F and G is t^2 e^2t + 3 t^2 + 3t sin t
The derivative of this is t^2 (2) e^2t + e^2t (2t) + 6t + 3t cos t + t sin t
none of these are \"like terms\" so this result does not simplify
PART 3. The results in parts 1 and 2 were both scalars, but we will get a vector here in Part 3.
The vector cross product of F and G is i [9 t^2 - t sin t] - j [3t e^2t - t^2 sin t] + k [t e^2t - 3 t^3 ]
The derivative of this is
i [18t - t cos t - sin t] - j [ 6t e^2t + e e^2t - t^2 cos t - 2t sin t] + k [2t e^2t + e^2t - 9 t^2]
