Vecors Day : Parameric Equaions and Calculus If your exbook conains his maerial, you migh wan o follow your book here. Formulas o Know If a smooh curve C is given by he equaions x f() and y g(), hen he slope of C a he poin (x, y) is given by, where 0, and he second derivaive is given by d y d d. The reason ha, where 0, is he Chain Rule: Since y is a funcion of x, and x is a funcion of, he Chain Rule gives, hence, where 0. Applying his formula o and x raher han o y and d x, we have d y d. Or, applying he Chain Rule: Since we have d d d y, hence d y is a funcion of x, and x is a funcion of, d. 4 00 The College Board.

Vecors Day 4: Moion Along a Curve Vecors I give my sudens he following lis of erms and formulas o know. Parameric Equaions, Vecors, and Calculus Terms and Formulas o Know: If a smooh curve C is given by he equaions x f and y g, hen he slope of C a he poin (x, y) is given by where 0, and he second derivaive is given d by d y d. The derivaive also may be inerpreed as he slope of he angen line o he curve C, or as he slope of he pah of a paricle raveling along he curve C, or as he rae of change of y wih respec o x. The second derivaive d y respec o x. is he rae of change of he slope of he curve C wih x is he rae a which he x-coordinae is changing wih respec o or he velociy of he paricle in he horizonal direcion. y is he rae a which he y-coordinae is changing wih respec o or he velociy of he paricle in he verical direcion. 7 00 The College Board.
Vecors x, y is he posiion vecor a any ime. x, y is he velociy vecor a any ime. x, y is he acceleraion vecor a any ime. velociy vecor. b a + + is he speed of he paricle or he magniude (lengh) of he is he lengh of he arc (or arc lengh) of he curve from a o b or he disance raveled by he paricle from a o b. Mos exbooks do no conain he ypes of problems on vecors ha are found on he AP Exam, so I supplemen wih he examples and workshees below. Example (no calculaor): A paricle moves in he xy-plane so ha a any ime, he posiion of he paricle is given 4 by x 4, y. + (a) Find he velociy vecor when.

Find he magniude of he velociy vecor when. + 8 00 The College Board.
Vecors Soluion: The magniude or lengh of he velociy vecor can be found by using he Pyhagorean Theorem, since he horizonal and verical componens make a righ riangle, wih he vecor iself as he hypoenuse. Therefore is lengh is given by: Magniude of velociy vecor + Figure 5 For our problem, d + + and d 6. + ( ) Magniude of velociy vecor + 6 5 + 9 4. Noice ha he formula for he magniude of he velociy vecor is he same as he formula for he speed of he vecor, which makes sense since speed is he magniude of velociy.
