Answer

\[\left( {72{t^{ - 3}} - 60{t^{3/2}}} \right){\mathbf{i}} - \left( { - 6 + 9{t^{1/2}}} \right){\mathbf{j}} + \left( { - 60{t^4} - 18} \right){\mathbf{k}}\]

Work Step by Step

\[\begin{gathered} \frac{d}{{dt}}\left( {\left( {{t^3}{\mathbf{i}} + 6{\mathbf{j}} - 2\sqrt t {\mathbf{k}}} \right) \cdot \left( {3t{\mathbf{i}} - 12{t^2}{\mathbf{j}} - 6{t^{ - 2}}{\mathbf{k}}} \right)} \right) \hfill \\ {\text{Calculate the cross product}} \hfill \\ = \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {\mathbf{i}}&{\mathbf{j}}&{\mathbf{k}} \\ {{t^3}}&6&{ - 2\sqrt t } \\ {3t}&{ - 12{t^2}}&{ - 6{t^{ - 2}}} \end{array}} \right| \hfill \\ = \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 6&{ - 2\sqrt t } \\ { - 12{t^2}}&{ - 6{t^{ - 2}}} \end{array}} \right|{\mathbf{i}} - \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {{t^3}}&{ - 2\sqrt t } \\ {3t}&{ - 6{t^{ - 2}}} \end{array}} \right|{\mathbf{j}} + \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {{t^3}}&6 \\ {3t}&{ - 12{t^2}} \end{array}} \right|{\mathbf{k}} \hfill \\ = \left( { - 36{t^{ - 2}} - 24{t^{5/2}}} \right){\mathbf{i}} - \left( { - 6t + 6{t^{3/2}}} \right){\mathbf{j}} + \left( { - 12{t^5} - 18t} \right){\mathbf{k}} \hfill \\ {\text{Calculate the derivative}} \hfill \\ = \left( {72{t^{ - 3}} - 60{t^{3/2}}} \right){\mathbf{i}} - \left( { - 6 + 9{t^{1/2}}} \right){\mathbf{j}} + \left( { - 60{t^4} - 18} \right){\mathbf{k}} \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]
