@electrokid can you please solve this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\vec{v}(t)=\vec{r'}(t)=(1-\cos t)\hat{i}+\sin t\hat{j}\] at maxima or minima, the first derivative should be 0. solve for t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is i and j

OpenStudy (abb0t):

the "x" and "y" coodinates.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(\hat{i},\hat{j}\) are the unit vectors along X and Y axes. This is the representation of a vector in rectangular co-ordinates

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am lost, so how to find v and a?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I showed you "v" above

OpenStudy (anonymous):

should i use product rule

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the derivatie of v, 1-cos(t) @electrokid

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is 1-cos(t) for v(t)...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it should have two terms.. one for (i) and one fr (j)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i thought i is x and j is y, so i replaced them with x and y and got this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait is it 1-cos(t) + sin(t) ????
