Find the vector function for the tangent line to the curve for the function vec(r)(t)= (3lnt,4\sqrt(t),t^(2)) at the point (0,4,1).
Added by Christine R.
Step 1
To find the vector function for the tangent line to the curve given by \(\vec{r}(t) = (3 \ln t, 4 \sqrt{t}, t^2)\) at the point \((0, 4, 1)\), we need to follow these steps: Show more…

Suppose the vector-valued function $\mathbf{r}(t)=\langle f(t), g(t), h(t)\rangle$ is smooth on an interval containing the point $\left(f\left(t_{0}\right), g\left(t_{0}\right), h\left(t_{0}\right)\right) .$ The line tangent to $\mathbf{r}(t)$ at $t=t_{0}$ is the line parallel to the tangent vector $\mathbf{r}^{\prime}\left(t_{0}\right)$ that passes through $\left(f\left(t_{0}\right), g\left(t_{0}\right), h\left(t_{0}\right)\right) .$ For each of the following functions, find the line tangent to the curve at $t=t_{0}.$ $$\mathbf{r}(t)=\langle\sqrt{2 t+1}, \sin \pi t, 4\rangle ; t_{0}=4$$
