1. Show that for the curvature the following formula holds<br />

(t) =<br />

_x(t)y(t) x(t) _y(t)<br />

:<br />

( _x(t) 2 + _y(t) 2 ) 3<br />

2<br />

2. Let R be an orientation preserving rigid motion of R 2 ; i.e.<br />

R(x; y) = M x<br />

y<br />

+ a<br />

b<br />

where M 2 SO(2) and a; b 2 R. Show that R c has the same curvature<br />

as c.<br />
