Question
Sketch the vector-valued function on the given interval.$$\vec{r}(t)=\langle 2 \sec t, \tan t\rangle, \text { on }[-\pi, \pi]$$
Step 1
First, we need to find the parametric equations for x and y in terms of t. From the given vector-valued function, we have: x(t) = 2 * sec(t) y(t) = tan(t) Show more…

Vector-Valued Functions
Sketch the graph of the plane curve given by the vector-valued function, and, at the point on the curve determined by $\mathbf{r}\left(t_{0}\right)$ sketch the vectors $\mathbf{T}$ and $\mathbf{N} .$ Note that $\mathbf{N}$ points toward the concave side of the curve. Vector-Valued Function $\mathbf{r}(t)=2 \cos t \mathbf{i}+2 \sin t \mathbf{j}$ Time $t_{0}=\frac{\pi}{4}$
