We can likewise define a vector-valued function r(t) in V2 by r(t) = f (t)i + g(t)j, for some scalar functions f and g.

Sketch a graph of the curve traced out by the endpoint of the two-dimensional vector-valued function r(t) = (t + 1)i + (t2 2)j.
Slide 6
Solution Substituting some values for t, we have r(0) = i 2j = 1,2, r(2) = 3i + 2j = 3, 2 and r(2) = 1, 2.
Slide 7
Solution The endpoints of all position vectors r(t) lie on the curve C, described parametrically by Eliminate the parameter:
Slide 8
Solution The small arrows marked on the graph indicate the orientation, that is, the direction of increasing values of t. If the curve describes the path of an object, then the orientation indicates the direction in which the object traverses the path.

Find the arc length of the curve traced out by the endpoint of the vector-valued function r(t) = 2t, ln t, t2, for 1 t e.
Slide 21
Solution First, notice that for x(t) = 2t, y(t) = ln t and z(t) = t2, we have x'(t) = 2, y'(t) = 1/t and z'(t) = 2t, and the curve is traversed exactly once for 1 t e.

Find the arc length of the curve traced out by the endpoint of the vector-valued function r(t) = e2t , sin t, t, for 0 t 2.
Slide 24
Solution First, note that for x(t) = e2t , y(t) = sin t and z(t) = t, we have x'(t) = 2e2t , y'(t) = cos t and z'(t) = 1, and that the curve is traversed exactly once for 0 t 2
Approximate the integral using Simpsons Rule or the numerical integration routine built into your calculator: s 53.8.

The portion of the parabola in the first octant must have x 0 (so t 0), y 0 (so t2 4) and z 0 (always true). This occurs if 0 t 2.
