Show that the given curve c(t) is a flow line of the given velocity vector field F(x, y, z).

c(t) = (2 sin(t), 2 cos(t), 9et); F(x, y, z) = (y, −x, z)

Answer:

a)
c'(t) = (2 Cos(t), -2 Sin(t), 9e^t)

b)
c'(t) = (2 Cos(t), -2 Sin(t), 9e^t)

Explanation:

We are given in the question:


c(t) = (2 Sin(t), 2 Cos(t), 9e^t)

F(x,y,z) = (y, -x, z)

a)
c'(t)

We differentiate with respect to t.


c'(t) = (2 Cos(t), -2 Sin(t), 9e^t)

b) F(c(t))

This is a composite function.


F(c(t)) = F(2 Sin(t), 2 Cos(t), 9e^t)


= (2 Cos(t), -2 Sin(t), 9e^t)
