Reparameterization (Practice)

Problem 1

A curve is parameterized in terms of arc length. What is

when ?

Problem 2

The function

is parameterized in terms of arc length, starting from the point . What is ?

Problem 3

A curve is reparameterized in terms of arc length as . Of the following options, which best describes the relationship between the vectors and , where ?

You may assume and exist and are nonzero for all .

  • [x] A. They Are Parallel and point in the Same Direction
  • [ ] B. They Are Parallel and point in opposite Directions
  • [ ] C. They Are Perpendicular
  • [ ] D. They Have the Same Magnitude
  • [ ] E. They Are Equal

They both represent the same curves just at different rates.

Problem 4

Let Find the Unit Tangent Vector to This Parameterized Curve at , Pointing in the Direction of Increasing
