VECTOR VALUED FUNCTIONS

MULTIVARIABLE CALCULUS
Definition: Vector-Valued Functions

Let r(t) be a vector-valued function in 3-space, then


for each allowable value of t (called domain) r = r(t)
can be written as

r = r(t) = < f1(t),f2(t),f3(t) >

Example
Find the natural domain of the function:

r(t) = et i + ln(t-4) j + t-1/2 k

• 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
