Math 211 – Multivariate Calculus – Homework 4 (Section
13.1–13.3)
Due: Friday October 13th at 5pm
You may use the textbook and your notes, and you’re welcome to discuss the problems with one another or with me.
However, your final answers should be written on your own and in your own words.
At the top of the first page, please list any classmates you collaborated with while working on these exercises (so that we
know to expect similar solutions).
1. (a) Find the vector equation of the tangent line to the curve given by
r(t) = (2t, et , cos t)
at the point (0, 1, 1).
(b) Does the tangent line you found in part (a) intersect the curve at any other point?
2. Consider the curves
r 1 (t) = (3 + t2 , t, 1 t) and r 2 (t) = (t2 , 3 t, t 2).
(a) Find the point at which the two curves intersect.
(b) Let ✓ be the angle between the tangent lines to the two curves at that point. Find either cos ✓ or sin ✓.
3. Let C be the curve formed by the intersection of the surfaces 2y = x2 and 3z = xy, from the point (0, 0, 0) to
the point (6, 18, 36). Find the length of C.
4. Find the length of the part of the circle with parametric equations

5. Show that if r(t) is a vector valued function so that r 00 (t) exists, then

(r(t) ⇥ r 0 (t)) = r(t) ⇥ r 00 (t).
