Answer

$r(t)=ti+t^2j+4t^2+t^4k$ or, $r(t) =\lt t, t^2, 4t^2+t^4 \gt$

Work Step by Step

Given: $z=4x^2+y^2$ and $y=x^2$ The given equations can be solved as: $x^2+y^2=1+2y+y^2$ This gives: $y=\dfrac{x^2-1}{2}$ Plug $x=t$ in the above equation $y=x^2=t^2$ Thus, we have $z=4x^2+y^2$ or, $z=4t^2+(t^2)^2=4t^2+t^4$ Thus, $r(t)=ti+t^2j+4t^2+t^4k$ (in vector form) and $r(t) =\lt t, t^2, 4t^2+t^4 \gt$
