Let y = x 2 + 3 be a curve in the plane.

(a) Give a vector-valued function ~r(t) for the curve y = x 2 + 3.

(b) Find the curvature (κ) of ~r(t) at the point (0, 3). [Hint: do not try to find the entire function for κ and then plug in t = 0. Instead, find |~v(0)| and dT~ dt (0) so that κ(0) = 1 |~v(0)| dT~ dt (0) .]

(c) Find the center and radius of the circle of curvature at the point (0, 3) on the curve.

(d) Write the equation for the circle of curvature at the point (0, 3) and sketch a picture of the curve and the circle of curvature together.

Suppose you are looking at a field [m[x,y],n[x,y]] which has one singualrity at a point P and no other singularities. While studying the singulairty, you center a circle of radius r on the point P and no other singularites. While studying the singularity, you center a circle of radius r on the point P and parameterize this circle in the counter-clockwise direction as Cr;{x[t],y[t]}. You calculate (integralCr) -n[x[t],y[t]]x'[t] + m[x[t], y[t]]y'[t]dt and find that it is equal to -1 +...
