Example Question #31 : Derivatives Of Vectors

$\newline {\vec{r}(t)} = (11e^{11t},3e^t,11e^t+t)\newline \textnormal{Calculate } \frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} t}{\vec{r}(t)}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} t}{\vec{r}(t)} = (121e^{11t},3e^t,11e^t)$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} t}{\vec{r}(t)} = (121e^{11t},e^t,11e^t)$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} t}{\vec{r}(t)} = (121e^{11t},3e^t,11e^t+1)$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} t}{\vec{r}(t)} = (121e^{10t},3e^t,11e^t+1)$

Correct answer:

$\frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} t}{\vec{r}(t)} = (121e^{11t},3e^t,11e^t+1)$

Explanation:

In general:

If $\newline \ {\vec{r}(t)} = (f(t),g(t),z(t))$ ,

then $\newline \frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} t}{\vec{r}(t)} = (\frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} t}f(t), \frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} t}g(t),\frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} t}z(t))$

Derivative rules that will be needed here:

Taking a derivative on a term, or using the power rule, can be done by doing the following: $\frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} t} t^n = n * t^{n-1}$
When taking derivatives of sums, evaluate with the sum rule which states that the derivative of the sum is the same as the sum of the derivative of each term: $\frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} t}(t^n+10) = \frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} t}t^n + \frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} t}10 = n*t^{n-1}$
Special rule when differentiating an exponential function: $\frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} t} e^{kt} = ke^{kt}$ , where k is a constant.

In this problem, ${\vec{r}(t)} = (11e^{11t},3e^t,(11e^t+t))$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} t}11e^{11t}=121e^{11t}$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} t}3e^t=3e^t$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} t}(11e^t+t)= \frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} t}11e^t + \frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} t}t =11e^t+1$

Put it all together to get $\frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} t}{\vec{r}(t)}$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} t}{\vec{r}(t)} = (121e^{11t},3e^t,11e^t+1)$

Explanation:

In general:

If $\newline \ {\vec{r}(t)} = (f(t),g(t),z(t))$ ,

then $\newline \frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} t}{\vec{r}(t)} = (\frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} t}f(t), \frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} t}g(t),\frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} t}z(t))$

Derivative rules that will be needed here:

Taking a derivative on a term, or using the power rule, can be done by doing the following: $\frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} t} t^n = n * t^{n-1}$
When taking derivatives of sums, evaluate with the sum rule which states that the derivative of the sum is the same as the sum of the derivative of each term: $\frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} t}(t^n+10) = \frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} t}t^n + \frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} t}10 = n*t^{n-1}$
Special rule when differentiating an exponential function: $\frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} t} e^{kt} = ke^{kt}$ , where k is a constant.

In this problem, ${\vec{r}(t)} = (e^t+t^2,e^t+2t^2,5t^4+t)$

Use the sum rule and the power rule on each of the components.

$\frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} t}(e^t+t^2)= \frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} t}e^t + \frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} t}t^2 = e^t+2t$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} t}(e^{t}+2t^2)= \frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} t}e^{t} + \frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} t}2t^2 =e^{t}+4t$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} t}(5t^4+t)=\frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} t}5t^4 + \frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} t}t = 20t^3+1$

Put it all together to get $\frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} t}{\vec{r}(t)}$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} }{\mathrm{d} t}{\vec{r}(t)} = (e^t+2t,e^t+4t,20t^3+1)$
