Answer

$r(t)=ti+(\dfrac{t^2-1}{2})j+(\dfrac{t^2+1}{2})k$

Work Step by Step

Given: $z=\sqrt {x^2+y^2}$ and $z=1+y$ Equate the two given equations. $x^2+y^2=1+2y+y^2$ After solving, we get $y=\dfrac{x^2-1}{2}$ Plug $x=t$, into the above equation This gives: $y=\dfrac{t^2-1}{2}$ The value of $z$ is: $z=\dfrac{t^2-1}{2}+1=\dfrac{t^2+1}{2}$ Thus, $r(t)=ti+(\dfrac{t^2-1}{2})j+(\dfrac{t^2+1}{2})k$
