CURVATURE
In rectangular form: In parametric form:
|𝒚′′| [𝒇′ 𝒈′′ −𝒇′′𝒈′]
𝑲= 𝟑 𝑲= 𝟑
𝟐 𝟐
[𝟏+(𝒚′)𝟐 ]𝟐 (𝒇′ +𝒈′ )𝟐
In polar form:
𝒓𝟐 + 𝟐𝒓′𝟐 − 𝒓𝒓′′
Fermat’s Theorem: 𝑲= 𝟑
If 𝑓(𝑥) has a local extremum at 𝑥 = 𝑎 and f is differentiable at a, [𝒓𝟐 + (𝒓′ )𝟐 ]𝟐
then 𝑓 ′ (𝑎) = 0.
Radius of Curvature: 𝝆 = 𝟏/𝑲
Steps in solving maxima minima problems:
1. Express the quantity to be maximized in terms of a single
variable function.
2. Differentiate the function determined in 1 and set the derivative
equal to zero.
3. Solve 2 for values of the variable and check if they maximize or
minimize the quantity.
PROBLEM:
1. Find the radius of curvature and the center of curvature of
PROBLEMS:
1. The cost C of a product is a function of the quantity x of the 4𝑦 = 𝑥 2 at (2, 1)
product is given by the equation: 𝐶(𝑥) = 𝑥 2 − 4000𝑥 + 50.
Determine the quantity for which the cost is a minimum. CURVILINEAR MOTION
2. Two Cities are 8 km and 12 km respectively north of a river
that runs due east. The second city is 15 km east of the first.
A pumping station is to be constructed (along the river) to
supply water to the two cities. Where should the station be
located so that the piping material is minimum?
3. A cylindrical steam boiler is to be constructed having a
capacity of 1000 cu. m. The material to be used for the sides
cost P2000 per square meter and for the ends P3000 per
square meter. Find the radius so that the cost is least.
𝑥 = 𝑒 𝑡 , 𝑦 = 2𝑒 −𝑡 at t = 0. 2. Find the equation of the tangent plane and normal line to the
ellipsoid 4x2 + y2 + z2 = 36 at the point (2, 2, 4).
