- Similar idea for multiplication, cross products and dot products with derivatives
\frac{d}{dt} [r(t) \times u(t)] = r'(t) \times u(t) + r(t) \times u'(t)\frac{d}{dt} [r(t) \cdot u(t)] = r'(t) \cdot u(t) + r(t) \cdot u'(t) - If
r(t) \cdot r(t) = c, thenr(t) \cdot r'(t) = 0 - Principle unit tangent vector is defined as
T(t) = \frac{r'(t)}{||r'(t)||}as long as||r'(t)|| \ne 0 - When there is a function of two variables with all real numbers as domain, it is written as
\mathbb{R}^2- Can also write "domain: ${(x,y) | x^2+y^2 \leq 9}$"
