Let , , , and be differentiable scalar functions. Prove that the dot product of the vector-valued functions role="math" localid="1649579098744" and role="math" localid="1649579122624" is a differentiable scalar function.
Let be a differentiable vector function such that for every value of . Prove that is a constant.
Every description of the DNA molecule says that the strands of the helices run in opposite directions. This is meant as a statement about chemistry, not about the geometric shape of the double helix. Consider two helices
(a) Sketch these two helices in the same coordinate system, and show that they run geometrically in different directions.
(b) Explain why it is impossible for these two helices to fail to intersect, and hence why they could not form a configuration for DNA.
