Answer

$\mathrm{r}^{\prime}(t)=\mathrm{b}+(2t)\mathrm{c}$

Work Step by Step

Apply Th.3.1 and Th.3.3: $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dt}[\mathrm{u}(t)+\mathrm{v}(t)]=\mathrm{u}^{\prime}(t)+\mathrm{v}^{\prime}(t),$ $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dt}[f(t)\cdot \mathrm{u}(t)]=f^{\prime}(t)\cdot \mathrm{u}(t)+f(t)\cdot \mathrm{u}^{\prime}(t)$ --- $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dt}[a]=0\qquad$ (const) $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dt}[t\mathrm{b}]=(1)\mathrm{b}+t(0)=\mathrm{b}$ $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dt}[t^{2}\mathrm{c}]=2t\mathrm{c}+t^{2}(0)=2t\mathrm{c}$ $\mathrm{r}^{\prime}(t)=0+\mathrm{b}+2t\mathrm{c}$ $\mathrm{r}^{\prime}(t)=\mathrm{b}+2t\mathrm{c}$
