<t,t2−168​,t2+168​>

If two objects travel through space along two different curves, it's often important to know whether they will collide. (Will a missile
hit its moving target? Will two aircraft collide?) The curves might intersect, but we need to know whether the objects are in the
same position at the same time. Suppose the trajectories of two particles are given by the vector functions

r 1(t) = t 2, 9t − 18, t 2 r 2(t) = 15t − 54, t 2, 13t − 42

for t ≥ 0. Find the values of t at which the particles collide. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list. If an answer does not
exist, enter DNE.)

MY NOTES ASK YOUR TEACHER

Suppose u and v are vector functions that possess limits as t → a and let c be a constant.

Definition 1

If r(t) = f(t), g(t), h(t), then

lim r(t) = lim (f(t)), lim (g(t)), lim (h(t)) provided the limits of the
t→a t→a t→a t→a
component functions exist.

Limit Laws

Suppose that c is a constant and the limits lim f(x) and lim g(x) exist.
x→a x→a
Then we have the following.

1. lim f(x) + g(x) = lim (f(x)) + lim (g(x))

x→a x→a x→a

2. lim f(x) − g(x) = lim (f(x)) − lim (g(x))

x→a x→a x→a

3. lim cf(x) = c lim (f(x))

x→a x→a

4. lim f(x)g(x) = lim (f(x)) · lim (g(x))

x→a x→a x→a
lim (f(x))
f(x) x→a
5. lim = if lim g(x) ≠ 0
x→a g(x) lim (g(x)) x→a
x→a

Properties of Vectors

If a, b, and c are vectors in V n and c and d are scalars, then we have

the following.

1. a+b=b+a
2. a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c
3. a+0=a
4. a + (−a) = 0
5. c(a + b) = ca + cb
6. (c + d)a = ca + da
7. (cd)a = c(da)
8. 1a = a

Prove the following properties of limits. Select the property that justifies each step of the proofs provided. You may find the above
definition, limit laws, and properties of vectors useful.

(a) Prove the following.

lim u(t) + v(t) = lim (u(t)) + lim (v(t))

t→a t→a t→a

Working backward, we have

lim (u(t)) + lim (v(t)) = lim (u 1(t)), lim (u 2(t)), lim (u 3(t))
t→a t→a t→a t→a t→a

+ lim (v 1(t)), lim (v 2(t)), lim (v 3(t)) by Definition 1

and the limits of these component functions must each exist since the vector functions both possess limits as t → a. Then adding
the two vectors and using the addition property of limits for real-valued functions, we have the following.
