Mastery-Based Quizzes

  • This week's quiz will only contain objectives from the first unit.
  • There is a new set of problems, labeled 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5.
  • If you passed 1.3 last week, you do NOT need to redo it.
  • You can check which objectives you passed in I-Learn.

Rapid Recall

  • Draw the parametric curve $x=4+3\cos t$, $y=5+2\sin t$.

Answer:

The graph is an ellipse centered at $(4,5)$ that opens left/right 3, and up/down 2.

  • Give a Cartesian equation of the curve above.

Answer:

We know $\cos^2t+\sin^2t = 1$. Solving the equations above for $\cos t$ and $\sin t$ gives $\cos t =\frac{x-4}{3}$ and $\sin t = \frac{y-5}{2}$. This means, upon substitution, that $$\left(\frac{x-4}{3}\right)^2+\left(\frac{y-5}{2}\right)^2 = 1.$$

  • For the curve $\vec r(t) = (t^2+2, -3t+4)$, note that $\frac{d\vec r}{dt} =(2t,-3)$. Give a vector equation of the tangent line to $\vec r(t)$ at $t=2$. In other words, give a vector equation of a line that passes through $\vec r(2) = (6,-2)$ and is parallel to $\frac{d\vec r}{dt}(2) = (4,-3)$.

Answer:

Passing through $(6,-2)$ and parallel to $(4,-3)$ means an equation is $$(x,y) = (4,-3)t+(6,-2)\quad \text{or}\quad \vec r(t) = (2,-3)t+(3,1).$$ This is the same as $$(x,y) = (4t+6,-3t-2).$$

  • The curve above represents the path of an object. Find the object's velocity and speed at $t=1$.

Answer:

The derivative $\frac{d\vec r}{dt} =(2t,-3)$ gives us the velocity at any time $t$. So at $t=1$ we have the velocity as $$\vec v = (2,-3).$$ The speed is the magnitude of the velocity, which gives the speed as $$v=|\vec v| = \sqrt{13}.$$ Note that we may use the same letter, without a vector symbol, to represent the magnitude of the corresponding vector.

Group problems

  1. Draw $\vec r(t) = (3 \cos t, 3 \sin t)$.
  2. The curve above represents the position of an object. Compute the velocity of the object, so $\vec v(t) = \frac{d\vec r}{dt}$.
  3. State the speed of the object above (simplify your answer to get a speed of 3). What is the difference between velocity and speed?
  4. Draw $\vec r(t) = (3 \cos 2t, 3 \sin 2t)$. (Suggestion - use multiples of $\pi/4$ for a table, rather than $\pi/2$. Why?) What is the speed of this curve? (Simplify the speed to get 6.)
  5. Draw $\vec r(t) = (7 \cos 5t, 7 \sin 5t)$. What is the speed of this curve? (Did you get 35?)
  6. Hurricane Matthew has a diameter of 28 miles. Assuming the eye is at the origin $(0,0)$, give a parametrization of the exterior edge of the hurricane.
  7. Sustained winds are 128 mi/hr. Modify your parametrization above so that the speed is 128 mi/hr.
  8. The eye of the hurricane is moving north west at a speed of 12 mi/hr. Modify your parametrization so that the center moves north west at 12 mi/hr.
  9. Use Mathematica and the ParametricPlot[] command to draw your parametrization.
  10. Another hurricane has diameter $d$ miles, with sustained winds of $w$ mi/hr, and is moving in the direction of $\vec v$. Give a parametrization, similar to the one above.
