Rotation matrix to construct canonical form of a conic
I've found C is a non-degenerate ellipses (computing the cubic and the quadratic invariant), and then I've studied the characteristic polynomial
The eigenvalue are , with associated eigenvectors . Thus I construct the rotation matrix R by putting in columns the normalized eigenvectors (taking care that ):
Then , and after some computations I find the canonical form
Proving the double differential of implies
implies z is of the form . Is there a proof for the same. I was trying to arrive at the desired function but couldn't understand how to get these trigonometric functions in the equations by integration. Does it require the use of taylor polynomial expansion of ?
A particle moves along a line with velocity function v(t)=t^2-t, where v is measured in meters per second. Find (a) the displacement and (b) the distance traveled by the particle during the time interval [0,5].
