question 54

Multiple Choice

Find a vector function that represents the curve of intersection of the two surfaces:
The circular cylinder $x ^ { 2 } + y ^ { 2 } = 4$ and the parabolic cylinder $z = x y$ .

• A) \(\mathbf { r } ( t ) = 4 \cos t \mathbf { i } + 4 t \mathbf { j } + 4 \cos ^ { 2 } t \mathbf { k }\)
• B) \(\mathbf { r } ( t ) = 2 \cos ( t ) \mathbf { i } + 2 \sin ( t ) \mathbf { j } - \sin ( t ) \cos ( t ) \mathbf { k }\)
• C) \(\mathbf { r } ( t ) = \cos t \mathbf { i } + \sin t \mathbf { j } - 4 \cos 2 t \mathbf { k }\)
• D) \(\mathbf { r } ( t ) = \cos ( t ) \mathbf { i } + \sin ( t ) \mathbf { j } + 4 \sin ( t ) \cos ( t ) \mathbf { k }\)
• E) \(\mathbf { r } ( t ) = 2 \cos ( t ) \mathbf { i } + 2 \sin ( t ) \mathbf { j } + 4 \sin ( t ) \cos ( t ) \mathbf { k }\)
