Integration of Vector Valued Function
• Ex. 1 ∫ (sin t)i + 2t j - 8t^3 k dt
Ans. (-cost + c1)i + (t^2 + c2)j + (2t^4 + c3)k
• Ex.2 ∫Q(t) = 2sin3ti – 4cos2tj + 3tk
Ans. (-2cos3t/3)i - (2sint)j + (3t^2/2)k+c
• Ex. 3 ∫r(t) = <ti, cos2tj, sin2tk>
Ans. <π^2/2i, 0j, 0k>
• Ex. 4 ∫r(t) = <sin(t), 6, 4t> from a=0, b=1
Ans. <1-cos(1), 6, 2>
