A formula for the curvature of a parametrized plane curve a. Show that the curvature of a smooth curve r(t)=f(t)i+g(t)j defined by twice-differentiable functions x=f(t) and y=g(t) is given by the formula ?=(x?2+y??2)3/2?x¨y¨??y¨?x¨??. The dots in the formula denote differentiation with respect to t, one derivative for each dot. Apply the formula to find the curvatures of the following curves. b. r(t)=ti+(lnsint)j,0<t<? c. r(t)=[tan?1(sinht)]i+(lncosht)j
