Consider the parabola r​(t)equalsleft angle at squared plus 1 comma t right angle​, for minusinfinityless thantless thaninfinity​, where a is a positive real number. Find all points on the parabola at which r and Bold r prime are orthogonal?

Answer:

t=0

Step-by-step explanation:

r=<[tex]at^2[/tex]+1,[tex]t[/tex]>

by differentiating the r vector component by component

r' = <2at, 1>

Two vector are orthogonal when the dot product between them is zero, so:

r'·r=0

<[tex]at^2[/tex]+1,[tex]t[/tex]>·<2at, 1>=2[tex]a^2t^3[/tex]+2at+t=0

common factor

t([tex]2a^2t^2[/tex]+2a+1)=0

Then, the only real value for t is zero.

-> t=0
