Question: Show that in the coordinate system {x 0 , x 1 , x 2 , x 3 } of Eqs. (26.25b), the coordinate basis vectors

Show that in the coordinate system {x, x, x, x} of Eqs. (26.25b), the coordinate basis vectors at x = 0 are Eqs. (26.24), and, accurate through first order in distance from x = 0, the spacetime line element is Eq. (26.26); that is, errors are no larger than second order.


Equations.

=e*8 e=e= |==e- r 3 = 1 a rae = 1 r

sin 2 ap eet, e=e^r, ervo, e = r sin 06. =

(26.24a) (26.24b)

=e*8 e=e= |==e- r 3 = 1 a rae = 1 r sin 2 ap eet, e=e^r, ervo, e = r sin 06. = (26.24a) (26.24b)
