find curvatureof r(t)= at t=1

OpenStudy (loser66):

find r'(t) find r''(t) then apply formula \[\huge K(t) = \frac{|r'(t)~ \text{x}~ r''(t)|}{|r'(t)|^3}\]

OpenStudy (loser66):

and then, plug t =1 into the last equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then wont i be left with ijk still?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know how to derive it then have 0,2,2 on top?

OpenStudy (loser66):

what is your r' (t) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1,2x,-2x

OpenStudy (loser66):

t, friend, not x , ok, r'' (t)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes t r''(t) is 0,2,-2

OpenStudy (loser66):

ok, cross them to get the numerator of curvature formula!! Please

OpenStudy (loser66):

what do you have?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0,2,2

OpenStudy (loser66):

sure?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or should i not hve plugged in t=1 yet

OpenStudy (loser66):

yea, you are right, now, calculate the numerator what is it? magnitude of r'(t) friend, then exponent to 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3,8,-8?

OpenStudy (loser66):

nope, it's not that, it's a number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how can it be a number r'(t) was in i j k
