Answer

$\mathrm{r}^{\prime}(t)=\langle \sec^{2}t,\quad \sec t\tan t, \displaystyle \quad \frac{-2}{t^{3}} \rangle$

Work Step by Step

Parametric equations: $\mathrm{r}(t):\quad\left\{\begin{array}{ll} x=\tan t & \\ y=\sec t & \\ y=t^{-2} & \end{array}\right.$ Differentiate $(\displaystyle \frac{d}{dt})$ each component function $\mathrm{r}^{\prime}(t):\quad\left\{\begin{array}{l} x=\sec^{2}t\\ y=\sec t\tan t\\ z=-2t^{-3} \end{array}\right.$ $\mathrm{r}^{\prime}(t)=\langle \sec^{2}t,\quad \sec t\tan t, \displaystyle \quad \frac{-2}{t^{3}} \rangle$
