Question
The problem involves finding the first and second derivatives, the dot product, and the cross product of a vector function \( \mathbf{r}(t) \). The given vector function is:

\[ \mathbf{r}(t) = \frac{5}{2} t^2 \mathbf{i} - 5t \mathbf{j} + \frac{2}{3} t^3 \mathbf{k} \]

Tasks:

(a) Find \( \mathbf{r}'(t) \).

(b) Find \( \mathbf{r}''(t) \).

(c) Compute the dot product \( \mathbf{r}'(t) \cdot \mathbf{r}''(t) \).

(d) Compute the cross product \( \mathbf{r}'(t) \times \mathbf{r}''(t) \).

For each task, blank answer boxes are provided, presumably for solving and entering the solutions.

Step 1: Given:

r open parentheses t close parentheses equals 5 over 2 t squared i minus 5 t j plus 2 over 3 t cubed k

Note: As per the guidelines, I have solved three sub-parts. If you want the solution to the last part, kindly post that again.
