ASSIGNMENT 3 1. [4 marks] Find the unit tangent vector T and the principal unit normal vector N for the given value of t: x = cosht; y = sinht; z =t; t = ln 2: t t 2. [3 marks] Find the curvature at the indicated point: x =e;y =e ;z =t; t = 0: 3. [3 marks] Show that for a plane curve described by y =f(x) the curvature (x) is 2 2 jd y=dxj (x) = 2 3=2 [1 + (dy=dx) ] [Hint: Let x be the parameter so that r(x) =xi +yj =xi +f(x)j.] 1=3 4. [3 marks] Let f(x;y) =x + (xy) . Find 2 2 2 (a) f(t;t ), (b) f(x;x ), (c) f(2y ; 4y). 2 2 3 5. [2 marks] Findg(u(x;y);v(x;y)) ifg(x;y) =y sin(x y); u(x;y) =x y ; v(x;y) =xy. 6. [3 marks] Using the inverse function theorem, prove that the function y =x cosx has an inverse function g that is dened in some neighbourhood of 0 and such that g(0) = 0. Compute the derivative of g at 0. 7. [2 marks] Determine the level surfaces passing through the point (1; 1; 1). 2 2 (a) f(x;y;z) = 3xy + 2z (b) f(x;y;z) =zx y .
