Equating the three Cartesian components gives
The first and third equations yield and , hence , . They also satisfy the middle equation, so the intersection is
The number of tails has a binomial distribution. The complement of at least two tails consists of zero tails or exactly one tail. Therefore
The normal line to a plane curve is perpendicular to the tangent line, so its slope is the negative reciprocal . The required equation is
The normal direction also agrees with the gradient of the defining level function.
The positive horizontal coordinate is . By implicit differentiation,
At the selected point this gives .
The usual interior condition for the binomial series is , giving as its open interval of convergence. In this particular square-root case the full series also converges absolutely at both endpoints, so the maximal real range on which its sum equals the original function is
For an endpoint check, write , where and . Then by telescoping, establishing absolute convergence at . The square-root binomial series at its endpoints proves continuity of the sum there. The endpoint values are at and at . Outside this range the power-series terms do not tend to zero. A three-term truncation remains an approximation, rather than an exact formula throughout the interval.
Use the binomial series with exponent and argument :
Thus the first three nonzero terms are
For this parametric curve, the chain rule gives
The quotient is a finite slope when . At and , the horizontal component of the tangent vanishes while the vertical component does not; these have vertical tangent lines, rather than missing finite values of the displayed quotient.
The maximum of sine is one. The allowed parameter values giving are
Substituting each into gives
All three parameter values lie in the original interval, so none of these maxima is discarded.
Within the requested interval, the function is symmetric about because . Its derivative is positive before , zero there, and negative afterwards. The negative second derivative shows that this is a strictly concave function. Consequently its unique maximum is . It tends to at both ends, giving vertical asymptotes and .

. Details.
On any interval where , the chain rule gives . Differentiating again,
The domain condition is necessary because the real natural logarithm requires a positive argument.
For an oriented surface with compatible boundary direction, the Stokes theorem states
Let denote the removed patch and the remaining cylinder. Keep the outward orientation inherited from the closed cylinder. Everywhere on the removed curved patch, the normal curl component is , so its flux is , where is its actual curved area. Part (d) then gives
Consequently the circulation around a hole in an oriented surface is
The positive direction here is induced by the remaining outward-oriented surface; locally it runs clockwise around the hole when viewed from outside. If the edge is instead traversed positively around the removed patch, the direction reverses and the answer is . The question does not specify an edge direction, so the sign must be accompanied by this convention. The result depends only on the removed curved area, not on its shape. If the patch has several boundary components, use the sum of their induced line integrals. Since , the result has the units of a velocity line integral, length squared per time.
Separate the closed cylinder into its curved side and its two end disks, all with outward normal vectors. On the side, and , so
At the top, and , giving . At the bottom, both and the axial normal vector change sign, so the same positive value results. Each disk therefore contributes . Adding all three surface integrals,
This explicit cancellation is consistent with the fact that the divergence of a curl is zero. The two disk contributions add rather than cancel.
The curl gives the vorticity:
Since , the requested form is
At the axis the radial unit vector is undefined, but its coefficient vanishes and the Cartesian expression remains smooth. The radial vorticity reflects the change in rotation rate with height.
For a sufficiently smooth vector field on a volume and its closed boundary , the divergence theorem states
with the unit normal directed outwards. Here
Hence the net volume flux through every closed surface in the liquid is zero. This verifies incompressible flow directly. It does not require the velocity to vanish pointwise on an arbitrary closed surface; inward and outward contributions can cancel.
Use cylindrical coordinates , . The velocity field becomes
For each fixed height, particles follow concentric circular streamlines around the vertical axis. At the motion is anticlockwise viewed from above, while at it is clockwise. Within a horizontal plane the angular velocity is , independent of radius, and the speed is . Both the plane and the vertical axis are stationary. The rotation rate varies with height, so the entire liquid is not one rigidly rotating body.
Figure 1.
Circular flow at fixed heights reverses direction across the stationary middle plane
. Details.
Using the contact coordinate and substituting into the exponential function gives
Both the curve and the line with the slope found in part (a) pass through this point.
At a single point of contact the line is a tangent line, so its slope equals the derivative of the exponential function. At the contact coordinate ,
Since , dividing gives , hence . To verify uniqueness, the difference has positive second derivative everywhere and its unique minimum is zero at . Thus this line touches the curve once.
Let and . Consecutive even and odd terms cancel exactly:
Thus
Both parity subsequences have the same limit, so the full sequence of partial sums converges and the sum is zero. This check is necessary: cancellation in fixed pairs alone does not always prove convergence of the original series.
For absolute convergence, each pair instead contributes
The inequality follows from . The lower-bound series diverges by comparison with the harmonic series. Therefore the paired logarithmic series with zero sum has
