Answer

$\displaystyle \mathrm{r}(t)=\mathrm{i}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{t}}\mathrm{k}$

Work Step by Step

Parametric equations: $\mathrm{r}(t):\quad\left\{\begin{array}{ll} x=t & \\ y=1 & \\ y=2t^{1/2} & \end{array}\right.$ Differentiate $(\displaystyle \frac{d}{dt})$ each component function $\mathrm{r}^{\prime}(t):\quad\left\{\begin{array}{l} x=1\\ y=0\\ z=2(\frac{1}{2}t^{-1/2})=\frac{1}{\sqrt{t}} \end{array}\right.$ $\displaystyle \mathrm{r}(t)=\mathrm{i}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{t}}\mathrm{k}$
