find the domain of the vector function r(t) =

OpenStudy (zarkon):

find the domain of each part then take the intersection

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea i get that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm having trouble with the actual construction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the intersection

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ln(4t) has no restrictions so can be (-inf, inf)......sqrt(t+16) has restrictions at -16, and 1/sqrt(12-t) has restrictions at 12

OpenStudy (zarkon):

no

OpenStudy (zarkon):

ln(4t) t>0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay..so the only restriction then is 0

OpenStudy (turingtest):

\[r(t)=(\ln 4t, \sqrt{t+16}, 1/\sqrt{12-t})\] for the i component the domain is x>0 for j, x >or=-16 for k x<12

OpenStudy (zarkon):

and don't put negative numbers under the radical

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the domain is (-16,12)

OpenStudy (turingtest):

12>x>0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have to do it in interval notation

OpenStudy (turingtest):

so (0,12)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(0,12)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

awesome..thanks so much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i should prolly figure this out before the test

OpenStudy (turingtest):

notice that the restriction \[x \ge -16\]doesn'e matter because we already have that x>0, so the intersection will not include x=-16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhhh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's what u meant earlier by don't use the negative numbers under the radical

OpenStudy (turingtest):

well, the x≥−16 is because if x<-16 we get an imaginary number for the j-component, but after looking at the other restrictions we see that because the i-component has x>0 anyway, so in this case it doesn't matter.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

feel like helping me with another one?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

I'm eating, give me 5 min, then ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright...i'll create another post so i can give medals

OpenStudy (turingtest):

thx
