••<strong>Chapter</strong> 1<strong>Topics</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>Analytic</strong> <strong>Geometry</strong>1.1 Conic SectionsCircles, ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas are called conic sections or conics becausethey can be obta<strong>in</strong>ed as <strong>in</strong>tersection of a plane with a double-napped circular cone. If theplane passes through the vertex of the double-napped cone, then the <strong>in</strong>tersection is a po<strong>in</strong>t,a pair of <strong>in</strong>tersection l<strong>in</strong>es, or a s<strong>in</strong>gle l<strong>in</strong>e. These are called degenerate conic section.Def<strong>in</strong>itions of the Conic SectionsDef<strong>in</strong>ition 1.1 A parabola is the set of all po<strong>in</strong>ts <strong>in</strong> the plane that are equidistant froma fixed l<strong>in</strong>e and a fixed po<strong>in</strong>t not on the l<strong>in</strong>e.Vertex•focusAxisDirectrixThe l<strong>in</strong>e is called the directrix of the parabola, and the po<strong>in</strong>t is called the focus. Aparabola is symmetric about the l<strong>in</strong>e that passes through the focus at right angles to thedirectrix. This l<strong>in</strong>e, called the axis or the axis of symmetry of the parabola, <strong>in</strong>tersectsthe parabola at a po<strong>in</strong>t called the vertex.Def<strong>in</strong>ition 1.2 An ellipse is the set of all po<strong>in</strong>ts <strong>in</strong> the plane, the sum of whose distancesfrom two fixed po<strong>in</strong>ts is a given positive constant that is greater than the distance betweenthe fixed po<strong>in</strong>ts.1


•••••MA112 Section 750001: Prepared by Dr.Archara Pacheenburawana 2The two fixed po<strong>in</strong>ts are called the foci (plural of “focus”) of the ellipse, and themidpo<strong>in</strong>t of the l<strong>in</strong>e segment jo<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g the foci is called the center.• • ••Focus•Center•FocusNote that if the foci co<strong>in</strong>cide, the ellipse reduces to a circle. For ellipse other than circle,the l<strong>in</strong>e segment through the foci and across the ellipse is called the major axis, and thel<strong>in</strong>e segment across the ellipse, through the center, and perpendicular to the major axis iscalled the m<strong>in</strong>or axis. The endpo<strong>in</strong>ts of the major axis are called vertices.M<strong>in</strong>or axisVextex•VextexMajor axisDef<strong>in</strong>ition 1.3 A hyperbola is the set of all po<strong>in</strong>ts <strong>in</strong> the plane, the difference of whosedistances from two fixed dist<strong>in</strong>ct po<strong>in</strong>ts is a given positive constant that is less than thedistance between the fixed po<strong>in</strong>ts.The two fixed po<strong>in</strong>ts are called the foci of the hyperbola. The midpo<strong>in</strong>t of the l<strong>in</strong>esegment jo<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g the foci is called the center of the hyperbola. The l<strong>in</strong>e through the fociis called the focal axis, and the l<strong>in</strong>e through the center that is perpendicular to the focalaxis is called the conjugate axis. The hyperbola <strong>in</strong>tersects the focal axis at two po<strong>in</strong>tscalled the vertices. The two separate parts of a hyperbola are called the branches.ConjugateaxisCenterFocus FocusVertex VertexFocalaxis


MA112 Section 750001: Prepared by Dr.Archara Pacheenburawana 3Associated with every hyperbola is a pair of l<strong>in</strong>es, called the asymptotes of the hyperbola.This l<strong>in</strong>e <strong>in</strong>tersect at the center of the hyperbola and have the property that as apo<strong>in</strong>t P moves along the hyperbola away from the center, the vertical distance between Pand one of the asymptotes approaches zero.yxEquations of Parabolas <strong>in</strong> Standard PositionLet p denote the distance between focus and the vertex. The vertex is equidistant fromthe focus and the directrix, so the distance between the vertex and the directrix is also p;consequently, the distance between the focus and the directrix is 2p.p p• •2p2pAxisDirectrixTheequationofaparabolaissimplest ifthevertex istheorig<strong>in</strong>andtheaxisofsymmetryis along the x-axis or y-axis.

MA112 Section 750001: Prepared by Dr.Archara Pacheenburawana 6Because P and Q both lie on the ellipse, the sum of the distances from each of them to thefoci must be equal.

••••••••MA112 Section 750001: Prepared by Dr.Archara Pacheenburawana 8Equations of Hyperbolas <strong>in</strong> Standard PositionIt is traditional <strong>in</strong> the study of hyperbola to denote the distance between the vertices by2a, the distance between the foci by 2c, and to def<strong>in</strong>e the quantity b asThis relationship, which can be expressed asis pictured geometrically <strong>in</strong> Figure below.b = √ c 2 −a 2 (1.8)c = √ a 2 +b 2 (1.9)accb caaThe number a is called the semifocal axis of the hyperbola and the number b the semiconjugateaxis. Moreover, for all po<strong>in</strong>ts on a hyperbola, the distance to the farther focusm<strong>in</strong>us the distance to the closer focus is 2a.The equation of a hyperbola is simplest if the center of the hyperbola is at the orig<strong>in</strong>and the foci are on the x-axis or y-axis. The two possible such orientations are shown <strong>in</strong>Figure below. These are called the standard positions of a hyperbola, and the resultequations are called the standard equations of a hyperbola.OrientationyStandard Equation(−c,0)ba(c,0)xx 2a 2 − y2b 2 = 1y(0,c)ab(0,−c)xy 2a 2 − x2b 2 = 1


MA112 Section 750001: Prepared by Dr.Archara Pacheenburawana 9The derivation of these equations are similar to those already given for parabolas andellipses, so we will leave them as exercises.A Quick Way to F<strong>in</strong>d AsymptotesThey are a trick that can be used f<strong>in</strong>d the equations of the asymptotes of a hyperbola.They can be obta<strong>in</strong>ed, when needed, by replac<strong>in</strong>g 1 by 0 on the right side of the hyperbolaequation, and then solv<strong>in</strong>g for y <strong>in</strong> terms of x. For example, for the hyperbolawe would writex 2x 2a 2 − y2b 2 = 1a − y22 b = 0 of 2 y2 = b2which are the equations for the asymptotes.a 2 x2or y = ± b a xExample 1.5 Sketch the graph of the hyperbola9x 2 −4y 2 = 36,and show<strong>in</strong>g its vertices, foci, and asymptotes.Solution .........Example 1.6 F<strong>in</strong>d the equation of the hyperbola with vertices (0,±8) and asymptotes y =± 4 3 x.Solution .........Translated ConicsEquations of conic that are translated from their standard positions can be obta<strong>in</strong>ed byreplac<strong>in</strong>g x by x − h and y by y − k <strong>in</strong> their standard equations. For a parabola, thistranslates the vertex from the orig<strong>in</strong> to the po<strong>in</strong>t (h,k); and for ellipses and hyperbolas,this translates the center from the orig<strong>in</strong> to the po<strong>in</strong>t (h,k).Parabolas with vertex (h,k) and axis parallel to x-axis(y −k) 2 = 4p(x−h) [Opens right](y −k) 2 = −4p(x−h) [Opens left]Parabolas with vertex (h,k) and axis parallel to y-axis(x−h) 2 = 4p(y −k)(x−h) 2 = −4p(y −k)[Opens up][Opens down]

Sketch the hyperbola and show the foci, vertices, and asymptotes <strong>in</strong> thefigure.Solution .........1.2 Rotation of Axes; Second-Degree EquationsQuadratic Equations <strong>in</strong> x and yWe saw <strong>in</strong> Examples 1.8 to 1.10 that equations of the formAx 2 +Cy 2 +Dx+Ey +F = 0 (1.10)can represent conic sections. Equation (1.10) is a special case of the more general equationAx 2 +Bxy +Cy 2 +Dx+Ey +F = 0 (1.11)which, if A, B, and C are not all zero, is called a quadratic equation <strong>in</strong> x and y. IfB = 0, then (1.11) reduces to (1.10) and the conic section has its axis or axes parallel tothe coord<strong>in</strong>ate axes. However, if B ≠ 0, then (1.11) conta<strong>in</strong>s a cross-product term Bxy,and the graph of the conic section represented by the equation has its axis or axes “tilted”relative to the coord<strong>in</strong>ate axes.Rotation of AxesConsider the rotation of axes <strong>in</strong> Figure below.yy ′•(0 ′ ,y ′ )rαθP(x,y)P(x ′ ,y ′ )x ′•(x ′ ,0 ′ )xThe axes of an xy-coord<strong>in</strong>ate system have been rotated about the orig<strong>in</strong> through an angle θto produce a new x ′ y ′ -coord<strong>in</strong>ate system. Each po<strong>in</strong>t P <strong>in</strong> the plane has coord<strong>in</strong>ates (x ′ ,y ′ )as well as coord<strong>in</strong>ates (x,y). To see how the two are related, let r be the distance from thecommon orig<strong>in</strong> to the P, and let α be the angle shown <strong>in</strong> Figure. It follows thatx = rcos(θ+α), y = rs<strong>in</strong>(θ +α) (1.12)

Thefollows theorem tells how to determ<strong>in</strong>e an appropriate rotation of axes to elim<strong>in</strong>ate thecross-product term of a second-degree equation <strong>in</strong> x and y.Theorem 1.1 If the equationAx 2 +Bxy +Cy 2 +Dx+Ey +F = 0 (1.16)is such that B ≠ 0, and if an x ′ y ′ -coord<strong>in</strong>ate system is obta<strong>in</strong>ed by rotat<strong>in</strong>g the xy-axesthrough an angle θ satisfy<strong>in</strong>gcot2θ = A−C(1.17)Bthen, <strong>in</strong> x ′ y ′ -coord<strong>in</strong>ates, Equation (1.16) will have the formA ′ x ′2 +C ′ y ′2 +D ′ x ′ +E ′ y ′ +F ′ = 0

Thus, we make a dist<strong>in</strong>ction between a curve, whichis the set of po<strong>in</strong>ts, and a parametric curve, which is a curve with an orientation. Forexample, we saw <strong>in</strong> Example 3.28 that the circle represented parametrically by (2.1) istraced counterclockwise as t <strong>in</strong>creases and hence has counterclockwise orientation.To obta<strong>in</strong> parametric equation for the unit circle with clockwise orientation, we canreplace t by −t <strong>in</strong> (2.1).

We can express the graph of f −1 <strong>in</strong> parametric formby <strong>in</strong>troduc<strong>in</strong>g the parameter t = y; this yields the parametric equationsx = f(t), y = tFor example, the graph of f(x) = x 5 +x+1 can be represented parametrically asx = t, y = t 5 +t+1and the graph of f −1 can be represented parametrically asx = t 5 +t+1, y = tTangent L<strong>in</strong>e to Parametric CurvesWe will be concerned with curves that are given by parametric equationsx = f(t), y = g(t)<strong>in</strong> which f(t) and g(t) have cont<strong>in</strong>uous first derivatives with respect to t. It can be provedthat if dx/dt ≠ 0, then y is a differentiable function of x, <strong>in</strong> which case the cha<strong>in</strong> rule impliesthatdydx = dy/dt(2.2)dx/dtThis formula makes it possible to f<strong>in</strong>d dy/dxdirectly fromthe parametric equations withoutelim<strong>in</strong>at<strong>in</strong>g the parameter.Example 2.4 F<strong>in</strong>d the slope of the tangent l<strong>in</strong>e to the curveat the po<strong>in</strong>t where t = π/3.Solution .........x = t−3s<strong>in</strong>t, y = 4−3cost (t ≥ 0)It follows from Formula (2.2) that the tangent l<strong>in</strong>e to a parametric curve will be horizontalat those po<strong>in</strong>ts where dy/dt = 0 and dx/dt ≠ 0, s<strong>in</strong>ce dy/dx = 0 at such po<strong>in</strong>ts.Atpo<strong>in</strong>tswheredx/dt = 0anddy/dt ≠ 0, therightsideof (2.2)hasanonzeronumeratorand a zero denom<strong>in</strong>ator; we will agree that the curve has <strong>in</strong>f<strong>in</strong>ite slope and a verticaltangent l<strong>in</strong>e at such po<strong>in</strong>t.At po<strong>in</strong>ts where dx/dt and dy/dt are both zero, the right side of (2.2) becomes an<strong>in</strong>determ<strong>in</strong>ate form; we call such po<strong>in</strong>ts s<strong>in</strong>gular po<strong>in</strong>ts.Example 2.5 A curve C is def<strong>in</strong>ed by the parametric equationsx = t 2and y = t 3 −3t.F<strong>in</strong>d the po<strong>in</strong>ts on C where the tangent is horizontal or vertical.

MA112 Section 750001: Prepared by Dr.Archara Pacheenburawana 192.2 Polar Coord<strong>in</strong>atesPolar Coord<strong>in</strong>ate SystemsA polar coord<strong>in</strong>ate system <strong>in</strong> a plane consists of a fixed po<strong>in</strong>t O, called the pole (ororig<strong>in</strong>), and a ray emanat<strong>in</strong>g from a pole, called the polar axis. In such a coord<strong>in</strong>atesystem we can associate with each po<strong>in</strong>t P <strong>in</strong> the plane a pair of polar coord<strong>in</strong>ates (r,θ),where r is the distance from P to the pole and θ is an angle from the polar axis to the rayOP.P(r,θ)rθO Orig<strong>in</strong>Polar axisThe number r is called the radial distance of P and the number θ the angular coord<strong>in</strong>ate(or polar angle) of P.Example 2.9 Plot the po<strong>in</strong>ts whose polar coord<strong>in</strong>ates are given.(a) (3,π/4) (b) (4,2π/3) (c) (2,5π/4) (d) (4,11π/6)Solution .........The polar coord<strong>in</strong>ates of a po<strong>in</strong>t are not unique. For example, the polar coord<strong>in</strong>atesall represent the same po<strong>in</strong>t.5π/3(1, 5π 3 ) −π/3(1,5π/3), (1,−π/3), (1,11π/3)(1,− π 3 ) 11π/3In general, if a po<strong>in</strong>t P has polar coord<strong>in</strong>ates (r,θ), then(r,θ +2nπ) and(r,θ −2nπ),(1, 11π3 )are also polar coord<strong>in</strong>ates of P for any nonnegative <strong>in</strong>teger n.As def<strong>in</strong>e above, the radial coord<strong>in</strong>ate r of a po<strong>in</strong>t P is nonnegative, s<strong>in</strong>ce it representsthe distance from P to the pole.

Such quantities are called scalar.Other physical quantities, called vectors are not completely determ<strong>in</strong>ed until both magnitudeand a direction are specified.Vectors can be represented geometrically by arrows <strong>in</strong> 2-space or 3-space: the directionof the arrow specifies the direction of the vector and the length of the arrow describes itsmagnitude. The tail of the arrow is called the the <strong>in</strong>itial po<strong>in</strong>t of the vector, and the tipof the arrow the term<strong>in</strong>al po<strong>in</strong>t.We will denote vectors with lowercase boldface type such as a, k, v, w, and x. Whendiscuss<strong>in</strong>g vectors, we will refer to real numbers as scalars. Scalar will be denoted bylowercase italic type such as a, k, w, and x.Two vectors, v and w, are considered to be equal (also called equivalent) if theyhave the same length and same direction, <strong>in</strong> which case we write v = w. Geometrically,two vectors are equal if they are translations of one another; thus, the three vectors <strong>in</strong> thefollow<strong>in</strong>g figure are equal, even though they are <strong>in</strong> different positions.


MA112 Section 750001: Prepared by Dr.Archara Pacheenburawana 33If the <strong>in</strong>itial po<strong>in</strong>t of v is A and the term<strong>in</strong>al po<strong>in</strong>t is B, then we write v = −→ AB whenwe want to emphasize the <strong>in</strong>itial and term<strong>in</strong>al po<strong>in</strong>ts.•BA •If the <strong>in</strong>itial and term<strong>in</strong>al po<strong>in</strong>ts of a vector co<strong>in</strong>cide, then the vector has length zero;we call this the zero vector and denote it by 0. The zero vector does not have a specificdirection, so we will agree that it can be assigned any convenient direction <strong>in</strong> a specificproblem.Def<strong>in</strong>ition 3.1 If v and w are vectors, then the sum v+w is the vector from the <strong>in</strong>itialpo<strong>in</strong>t of v to the term<strong>in</strong>al po<strong>in</strong>t of w when the vectors are positioned so the <strong>in</strong>itial po<strong>in</strong>t ofw is at the term<strong>in</strong>al po<strong>in</strong>t of v.wvv+wDef<strong>in</strong>ition 3.2 If v is a nonzero vector and k is a nonzero real number (a scalar), thenthe scalar multiple kv is def<strong>in</strong>ed to be the vector whose length is |k| times the length ofv and whose direction is the same as that of v if k > 0 and opposite to that of v if k < 0.We def<strong>in</strong>e kv = 0 if k = 0 or v = 0.v2v1v 2(−1)v(− 3 2 )vObserve that if k and v are nonzero, then the vectors v and kv lie on the same l<strong>in</strong>e iftheir <strong>in</strong>itial po<strong>in</strong>ts co<strong>in</strong>cide and lies on parallel or co<strong>in</strong>cident l<strong>in</strong>es if they do not. Thus, wesay that v and kv are parallel vectors. Observe also that the vector (−1)v has the samelength as v but is oppositely directed. We call (−1)v the negative of v and denote it by−v. In particular, −0 = (−1)0 = 0.Vector subtraction is def<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong> terms of addition and scalar multiplication byv−w = v+(−w)In the special case where v = w, their difference is 0; that is,v+(−v) = v−v = 0

We havealready done this us<strong>in</strong>g rectangular coord<strong>in</strong>ates. However, the follow<strong>in</strong>g Figure shows twoother possibilities: part (a) of the figure shows the rectangular coord<strong>in</strong>ates (x,y,z) ofa po<strong>in</strong>t P, part (b) shows the cyl<strong>in</strong>drical coord<strong>in</strong>ates (r,θ,z) of P, and part (c) showsthe spherical coord<strong>in</strong>ates (ρ,θ,φ) of P.zzzy• P(x,y,z)zyxθr• P(r,θ,z)zyφρθ• P(ρ,θ,φ)yxRectangular coord<strong>in</strong>ates(x,y,z)xCyl<strong>in</strong>drical coord<strong>in</strong>ates(r,θ,z)(r ≥ 0,0 ≤ θ < 2π)xSpherical coord<strong>in</strong>ates(ρ,θ,φ)(ρ ≥ 0,0 ≤ θ < 2π,0 ≤ φ ≤ π)Constant SurfacesIn rectangular coord<strong>in</strong>ates the surfaces represented by equations of the formx = x 0 , y = y 0 , and z = z 0wherex 0 ,y 0 ,andz 0 areconstant, areplanesparalleltotheyz-plane, xz-plane, andxy-plane,respectively.In cyl<strong>in</strong>drical coord<strong>in</strong>ates the surfaces represented by equations of the formwhere r 0 ,θ 0 , and z 0 are constant.r = r 0 , θ = θ 0 , and z = z 0• The surface r = r 0 is a right circular cyl<strong>in</strong>der of radius r 0 centered on the z-axis.• The surface θ = θ 0 is a half-plane attached along the z-axis and mak<strong>in</strong>g an angle θ 0with the positive x-axis.• The surface z = z 0 is a horizontal plane.


MA112 Section 750001: Prepared by Dr.Archara Pacheenburawana 59In spherical coord<strong>in</strong>ates the surfaces represented by equations of the formwhere ρ 0 ,θ 0 , and φ 0 are constant.ρ = ρ 0 , θ = θ 0 , and φ = φ 0• The surface ρ = ρ 0 consists of all po<strong>in</strong>ts whose distance ρ from the orig<strong>in</strong> is ρ 0 .Assum<strong>in</strong>g ρ 0 to be nonnegative, this is a sphere of radius ρ 0 centered at the orig<strong>in</strong>.• As <strong>in</strong> cyl<strong>in</strong>drical coord<strong>in</strong>ates, the surface θ = θ 0 is a half-plane attached along thez-axis, mak<strong>in</strong>g an angle θ 0 with the positive x-axis.• The surface φ = φ 0 consists of all po<strong>in</strong>t from which a l<strong>in</strong>e segment to the orig<strong>in</strong> makesan angle of φ 0 with the positive z-axis. If 0 ≤ φ 0 < π/2, this will be the nappe ofa cone open<strong>in</strong>g up, while if π/2 < φ 0 < π, this will be the nappe of a cone open<strong>in</strong>gdown. (If φ 0 = π/2, then the cone is flat, and the surface is the xy-plane.)Convert<strong>in</strong>g Coord<strong>in</strong>atesJust as we needed to convert between rectangular and polar coord<strong>in</strong>ates <strong>in</strong> 2-space, so wewill need to be able to convert between rectangular, cyl<strong>in</strong>drical, and spherical coord<strong>in</strong>ates<strong>in</strong> 3-space. The follow<strong>in</strong>g Table provides formulas for mak<strong>in</strong>g these conversions.ConversionFormulasCyl<strong>in</strong>drical to rectangular (r,θ,z) → (x,y,z) x = rcosθ,y = rs<strong>in</strong>θ,z = zRectangular to cyl<strong>in</strong>drical (x,y,z) → (r,θ,z) r = √ x 2 +y 2 ,tanθ = y/x,z = zSpherical to cyl<strong>in</strong>drical (ρ,θ,φ) → (r,θ,z) r = ρs<strong>in</strong>φ,θ = θ,z = ρcosφCyl<strong>in</strong>drical to spherical (r,θ,z) → (ρ,θ,φ) ρ = √ r 2 +z 2 ,θ = θ,tanφ = r/zSpherical to rectangular (ρ,θ,φ) → (x,y,z) x = ρs<strong>in</strong>φcosθ,y = ρs<strong>in</strong>φs<strong>in</strong>θ,z = ρcosφRectangular to spherical (x,y,z) → (ρ,θ,φ) ρ = √ x 2 +y 2 +z 2 ,tanθ = y/x,cosφ = z/ √ x 2 +y 2 +z 2Note that r ≥ 0, ρ ≥ 0, 0 ≤ θ < 2π, 0 ≤ φ ≤ π.The diagrams <strong>in</strong> the follow<strong>in</strong>g Figure will help you to understand how the formulas <strong>in</strong>Table are derived.xzθyr•Pz{(x,y,z)(r,θ,z)(r,θ,0)yzφθρrφ•Pz{(ρ,θ,φ)(r,θ,z)yx(a)x(b)

Thus, the polar-to-rectangular and rectangular-to-polar conversion formulas (2.4)and (2.5) of Section 2.2 provide the conversion formulas between rectangular and cyl<strong>in</strong>dricalcoord<strong>in</strong>ates.Part (b) of Figure suggests that the spherical coord<strong>in</strong>ates (ρ,θ,φ) of the po<strong>in</strong>t P can beconverted to cyl<strong>in</strong>drical coord<strong>in</strong>ates (r,θ,z) by the conversion formulasr = ρs<strong>in</strong>φ, θ = θ, z = ρcosφ (3.42)Moreover, s<strong>in</strong>ce the cyl<strong>in</strong>drical coord<strong>in</strong>ates (r,θ,z) of P can be converted to rectangularcoord<strong>in</strong>ates (x,y,z) by the conversion formulasx = rcosθ, y = rs<strong>in</strong>θ, z = z (3.43)we can obta<strong>in</strong> direct conversion formulas from spherical coord<strong>in</strong>ates to rectangular coord<strong>in</strong>atesby substitut<strong>in</strong>g (3.42) <strong>in</strong> (3.43).

<strong>Chapter</strong> 4Vector-Valued Functions4.1 Introduction to Vector-Valued FunctionsParametric Curves <strong>in</strong> 3-SpaceRecall that if f and g are well-behaved functions, then the pair of parametric equationsx = f(t), y = g(t) (4.1)generatesacurve <strong>in</strong>2-spacethatistraced<strong>in</strong>aspecific directionastheparameter t<strong>in</strong>creases.We def<strong>in</strong>e this direction to be the orientation of the curve or the direction of <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>gparameter, and we called the curve together with its orientation the graph of the parametricequations or the parametric curve represented by the equations. Analogously, if f, g and hare three well-behaved functions, then the parametric equationsx = f(t), y = g(t), z = h(t) (4.2)generatesacurve <strong>in</strong>3-spacethatistraced<strong>in</strong>aspecificdirectionast<strong>in</strong>creases. As<strong>in</strong>2-space,this direction is called the orientation or direction of <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g parameter, and thecurve together with its orientation is called the graph of the parametric equations or theparametric curve represented by the equations. If no restrictions are state explicitlyor are implied by the equation, then it will be understood that t varies over the <strong>in</strong>terval(−∞,+∞).Example 4.1 Describe the parametric curve represented by the equationsSolution .........x = 1−t, y = 3t, z = 2t.Example 4.2 Describe the parametric curve represented by the equationswhere a and c are positive constants.x = acosθ, y = as<strong>in</strong>θ, z = ct.61


MA112 Section 750001: Prepared by Dr.Archara Pacheenburawana 62Solution As the parameter t <strong>in</strong>creases, the value of z = ct also <strong>in</strong>creases, so the po<strong>in</strong>t(x,y,z) moves upward. However, as t <strong>in</strong>creases, the po<strong>in</strong>t (x,y,z) also moves <strong>in</strong> a pathdirectly over the circlex = acosθ, y = as<strong>in</strong>θ<strong>in</strong> the xy-plane. The comb<strong>in</strong>ation of these upward and circular motions produces a corkscrew-shaped curve that wraps around a right circular cyl<strong>in</strong>der of radius a centered on thez-axis. This curve is called a circular helix.zxy✠Parametric Equations for Intersections of SurfacesCurve <strong>in</strong> 3-space often arise as <strong>in</strong>tersections of surfaces. One method for f<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g parametricequations for the curve of <strong>in</strong>tersection is to choose one of the variables as the parameter anduse the two equations to express the rema<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g two variables <strong>in</strong> terms of that parameter.For example, suppose we want to f<strong>in</strong>d parametric equations of the <strong>in</strong>tersection of thecyl<strong>in</strong>der z = x 3 and y = x 2 . We choose x = t as the parameter and substitute this <strong>in</strong>to theequations z = x 3 and y = x 2 , then we obta<strong>in</strong> the parametric equationsThis curve is called a twisted cubic.x = t, y = t 2 , z = t 3 (4.3)


MA112 Section 750001: Prepared by Dr.Archara Pacheenburawana 63Vector-Valued FunctionsThe twisted cubic def<strong>in</strong>ed by the equations <strong>in</strong> (4.3) is the set of po<strong>in</strong>ts of the form (t,t 2 ,t 3 )for real values of t. If we view each of these po<strong>in</strong>ts as a term<strong>in</strong>al po<strong>in</strong>t for a vector r whose<strong>in</strong>itial po<strong>in</strong>t is at the orig<strong>in</strong>,r = 〈x,y,z〉 = 〈t,t 2 ,t 3 〉 = ti+t 2 j+t 2 kthen we obta<strong>in</strong> r as a function of the parameter t, that is, r = r(t). S<strong>in</strong>ce this functionproduces a vector, we say that r = r(t) def<strong>in</strong>es r as a vector-valued function of a realvariable, or more simply, a vector-valued function.If r(t) is a vector-valued function <strong>in</strong> 2-space, then for each allowable value of t the vectorr = r(t) can be represented <strong>in</strong> terms of components asr = r(t) = 〈x(t),y(t)〉 = x(t)i+y(t)jThe functions x(t) and y(t) are called the component functions or the components ofr(t). Similarly, the component functions of a vector-valued function<strong>in</strong> 3-space are x(t), y(t) and z(t).r = r(t) = 〈x(t),y(t),z(t)〉 = x(t)i+y(t)j+z(t)kExample 4.3 The component functions ofarer(t) = 〈t,t 2 ,t 3 〉 = ti+t 2 j+t 3 kx(t) = t, y(t) = t 2 , z(t) = t 3The doma<strong>in</strong> of a vector-valued function r(t) is the set of allowable values for t. If r(t)is def<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong> terms of component functions and the doma<strong>in</strong> is not specified explicitly, thenthe doma<strong>in</strong> is the <strong>in</strong>tersection of the natural doma<strong>in</strong>s of the component functions; this iscalled the natural doma<strong>in</strong> of r(t).Example 4.4 F<strong>in</strong>d the natural doma<strong>in</strong> ofSolution .........r(t) = 〈ln|t−1|,e t , √ t〉 = (ln|t−1|)i+e t j+ √ tkGraphs of Vector-Valued FunctionsIf r(t) is a vector-valued function <strong>in</strong> 2-space or 3-space, then we def<strong>in</strong>e the graph of r(t) tobe the parametric curve described by the component functions for r(t).For example, ifr(t) = 〈1−t,3t,2t〉 = (1−t)i+3tj+2tk (4.4)then the graph of r = r(t) is the graph of the parametric equationsx = 1−t, y = 3t, z = 2tThus, the graph of (4.4) is the l<strong>in</strong>e <strong>in</strong> Example 4.1.✠

For example, if thecurve C <strong>in</strong> 3-space is the graph ofr(t) = x(t)i+y(t)j+z(t)kand if we position r(t) so its <strong>in</strong>itial po<strong>in</strong>t is at the orig<strong>in</strong>, then its term<strong>in</strong>al po<strong>in</strong>t will fallon the curve C.z(x(t),y(t),z(t))r(t)CyxThus, when r(t) is positioned with its <strong>in</strong>itial po<strong>in</strong>t at the orig<strong>in</strong>, its term<strong>in</strong>al po<strong>in</strong>t will traceout the curve C as the parameter t varies, <strong>in</strong> which case we call r(t) the radius vector orthe position vector for C.Example 4.6 Sketch the graph and a radius vector of(a) r(t) = costi+s<strong>in</strong>tj, 0 ≤ t ≤ 2π(b) r(t) = costi+s<strong>in</strong>tj+2k, 0 ≤ t ≤ 2πSolution .........Vector Form of a L<strong>in</strong>e SegmentRecall that if r 0 is a vector <strong>in</strong> 2-space or 3-space with its <strong>in</strong>itial po<strong>in</strong>ts at the orig<strong>in</strong>, thenthe l<strong>in</strong>e that passes through the term<strong>in</strong>al po<strong>in</strong>t of r 0 and is parallel to the vector v can beexpressed <strong>in</strong> vector form asr = r 0 +tvIn particular, if r 0 and r 1 are vectors <strong>in</strong> 2-space or 3-space with their <strong>in</strong>itial po<strong>in</strong>ts atthe orig<strong>in</strong>, then the l<strong>in</strong>e that passes through the term<strong>in</strong>al po<strong>in</strong>ts of these vectors can beexpressed <strong>in</strong> vector form asr = r 0 +t(r 1 −r 0 ) or r = (1−t)r 0 +tr 1 (4.5)

It is understood<strong>in</strong> (4.5) that t varies from −∞ to +∞. However, if we restrict t to vary over the <strong>in</strong>terval0 ≤ t ≤ 1, then r will vary from r 0 to r 1 .
