Let r(t)\mathbf r(t) and s(t)\mathbf s(t) be differentiable vector-valued functions such that r(t)⋅s(t)=0\mathbf r(t)\cdot\mathbf s(t)=0 for all tt. Which of the following must hold for every tt? a) r′(t)⋅s(t)=0\mathbf r'(t)\cdot\mathbf s(t)=0 b) r′(t)⋅s(t)+r(t)⋅s′(t)=0\mathbf r'(t)\cdot\mathbf s(t)+\mathbf r(t)\cdot\mathbf s'(t)=0 c) r′(t)⋅s(t)−r(t)⋅s′(t)=0\mathbf r'(t)\cdot\mathbf s(t)-\mathbf r(t)\cdot\mathbf s'(t)=0 d) r′(t)⋅s′(t)=0\mathbf r'(t)\cdot\mathbf s'(t)=0
