a. Graph the curve r(t) = (t 3 , t 3 ). Show that r'(0) = 0
Question:
a. Graph the curve r(t) = (t3, t3). Show that r'(0) = 0 and the curve does not have a cusp at t = 0. Explain.
b. Graph the curve r(t) = (t3, t2). Show that r'(0) = 0 and the curve has a cusp at t = 0. Explain.
c. The functions r(t) = (t, t2) and p(t) = (t2, t4) both satisfy y = x2. Explain how the curves they parameterize are different.
d. Consider the curve r(t) = (tm, tn), where m > 1 and n > 1 are integers with no common factors. Is it true that the curve has a cusp at t = 0 if one (not both) of m and n is even? Explain.
