Exercise · ZW-PARAMETRIC-SURFACE-003 · ★☆☆ Basic
For the same surface \(\mathbf r(u,v)=\langle u^2v,\,u+v,\,v^3\rangle\), the vector \(\mathbf r_v\) at \((1,2)\) is:
Choose one option.
Show answer
- C. \(\langle 1,1,12\rangle\)
Explanation
\(\mathbf r_v=\langle u^2,\,1,\,3v^2\rangle\), which at \((1,2)\) equals \(\langle1,1,12\rangle\).
Review the concept: Parametric surface
A parametric surface is the set of points in space described by a vector function \(\mathbf r\) of two parameters \(u\) and \(v\) as they range over a region \(D\) of the plane.
\[\mathbf r(u,v)=\langle x(u,v),\,y(u,v),\,z(u,v)\rangle,\quad (u,v)\in D\]
