Help!

OpenStudy (dramaqueen1201):

Anyone knows how to figure this one out?

OpenStudy (dramaqueen1201):

does it have anything to do with curvature??

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

work the tangent and the normal vectors

OpenStudy (dramaqueen1201):

@IrishBoy123 working on 'em. i have the tangent already, doing the normal now

OpenStudy (loser66):

what is your tangent vector at t=0?

OpenStudy (dramaqueen1201):

alright.. are they: \[T = \left( \frac{ -\sin t }{ \sqrt{2} }, \frac{ \cos t }{ \sqrt{2} }, \frac{ 1 }{ \sqrt{2} } \right)\] and \[N = \left( \frac{ - \cos t }{ \sqrt{2} }, \frac{ -\sin t }{ \sqrt{2} }, 0 \right)\] or am i messing up again??

OpenStudy (dramaqueen1201):

in the notes, i have\[T = \frac{ r' }{ \left| r' \right| }\] and \[N = \frac{ T' }{ \left| T' \right| }\] are they not really necessary?

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

they definitely are!!!

OpenStudy (loser66):

oh, you go that way. OK

OpenStudy (dramaqueen1201):

@IrishBoy123 Oki!

OpenStudy (dramaqueen1201):

and then i should just do their cross product?

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

y!!

OpenStudy (dramaqueen1201):

alrighty! i'm on it!

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

i get \(<0,1,1> \times <-1,0,0> = <0, -1, 1>\)

OpenStudy (dramaqueen1201):

yeah, i get the same (with the sqrt2) but the answer is supposed to be <0,1,1> so i'm trying to figure out there the problem is..

OpenStudy (dramaqueen1201):

oooh okay! so (0,1,1) is good because is in the same plane

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

soz. have you done it??!!

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

yes the plane is \( y = z\) do you agree?

OpenStudy (dramaqueen1201):

yes

OpenStudy (dramaqueen1201):

oh so B could also be the answer then?

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

oh sh1t. moment's reflection?

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

what do you think?

OpenStudy (dramaqueen1201):

i think it could be? i'm not sure... what do you think?

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

i think you're right. both

OpenStudy (dramaqueen1201):

what's with the person who made this paper tho? even the 'sudoku' piece from yesterday was shady. now two possible answers?? whaaa

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

lol!!

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

the sudoku was the hardest this, the most interesting

OpenStudy (dramaqueen1201):

haha yeah! i'll try the sudoku again tomorrow. anyway, thanks a lot for this one!! hopefully my exam doesn't have multiple answers in its multiple choice XD

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

you need to do \(\partial \)'s in you partial differentiation

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

ie when \(f = f(x,y,z)\), then partial of f wrt x is: \(\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x} = f_x = \partial_x f\)

OpenStudy (dramaqueen1201):

for which one? the sudoku?

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

lol!! for partial differentiation generally. so, the soduko :-)) lol

OpenStudy (dramaqueen1201):

oh ok

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

good night!!!!!

OpenStudy (dramaqueen1201):

good night! and thanks again!
