Answer

See the details below.

Work Step by Step

The three forms of the product rule are given as follows (a) Scalar times vector: $$ \frac{d}{d t}(f(t) \mathbf{r}(t))=f^{\prime}(t) \mathbf{r}(t)+f(t) \mathbf{r}^{\prime}(t). $$ (b) Dot product: $$ \frac{d}{d t} (r_1(t) \cdot {r_2}(t))=r_1^{\prime}(t) \cdot {r_2}(t)+r_1(t) \cdot {r_2}^{\prime}(t). $$ (c) Cross product: $$ \frac{d}{d t} (r_1(t) \times {r_2}(t))=r_1^{\prime}(t) \times {r_2}(t)+r_1(t) \times{r_2}^{\prime}(t). $$
