Solution

To analyze the vector functions F(t) \mathbf{F}(t) and G(t) \mathbf{G}(t) , we’ll break down their components and explore their properties, such as derivatives, lengths, and potential intersections.

1. Break Down the Problem

  • Identify the vector functions:
    1. F(t)=t2i+tj+k \mathbf{F}(t) = t^2 \mathbf{i} + t \mathbf{j} + \mathbf{k}
    2. G(t)=i+tj+t2k \mathbf{G}(t) = \mathbf{i} + t \mathbf{j} + t^2 \mathbf{k}

2. Relevant Concepts

  • Each vector function has three components in the Cartesian coordinates: x,y,z x, y, z .
  • We can analyze the geometric representation and possibly find the intersection or other relevant properties.

3. Analysis and Detail

  1. Components of F(t) \mathbf{F}(t) :

    • xF=t2 x_F = t^2
    • yF=t y_F = t
    • zF=1 z_F = 1
  2. Components of G(t) \mathbf{G}(t) :

    • xG=1 x_G = 1
    • yG=t y_G = t
    • zG=t2 z_G = t^2
  3. Finding Intersection Points: Set F(t1)=G(t2) \mathbf{F}(t_1) = \mathbf{G}(t_2) : t12=1(1) t_1^2 = 1 \quad (1) t1=t2(2) t_1 = t_2 \quad (2) 1=t22(3) 1 = t_2^2 \quad (3)

From equation (1), we solve t12=1 t_1^2 = 1 :

  • t1=1 t_1 = 1 or t1=1 t_1 = -1 .

Using equation (2):

  • If t1=1 t_1 = 1 , then t2=1 t_2 = 1 .
  • If t1=1 t_1 = -1 , then t2=1 t_2 = -1 .

From equation (3), both cases check out:

  • t2=1 t_2 = 1 gives z=1 z = 1 and t2=1 t_2 = -1 gives z=1 z = 1 .

4. Verify and Summarize

Thus, the intersections or potential coinciding points occur at (1,1,1) (1, 1, 1) and (1,1,1) (-1, -1, 1) .

Final Answer

The intersection points of the vector functions F(t) \mathbf{F}(t) and G(t) \mathbf{G}(t) are:

  • (1,1,1) (1, 1, 1)
  • (1,1,1) (-1, -1, 1)
