Given the space curve r=r(t), show
that its torsion τ is given by
τ=((r^. •r^(..) ×r^(...) )/(∣r^. ×r^(..) ∣^2 )). It may help to know that its
curvature is numerically given by κ=((∣r^. ×r^(..) ∣)/(∣r^. ∣^3 )).
r^. is differentiation of r once with
respect to t.
Let z=Ax^2 +Bxy+Cy^2 . Find conditions
on the constants A,B,C that ensure
that the point (0,0,0) is a
(i) local minimum,
(ii) local maximum,
(ii) saddle point.
Is the following series absolutely convergent?
S_1 =Σ_(n=1) ^∞ (1/(n(n+1)))
Is the following series absolutely convergent?
S_2 =Σ_(n=1) ^∞ ((1/n)− (1/(n+1)))
Show by use of the characteristics of
a vector−space, that the set x^→ ∈R_+
with the following operations ⊕ and
builds a vector−space.
∗Use vector−space axioms
∗x^→ ⊕y^→ be x^→ ∙y^→
∗for λ∈R set λ x^→ equal x^(→λ)
