Answer

$\displaystyle \mathrm{r}^{\prime}(t)=(2te^{t^{2}})\mathrm{i}\ \ +\ \ \dfrac{3}{1+3t}\mathrm{k}$

Work Step by Step

Parametric equations: $\mathrm{r}(t):\quad\left\{\begin{array}{ll} x=e^{t^{2}} & \\ y=-1 & \\ y=\ln(1+3t) & \end{array}\right.$ Differentiate $(\displaystyle \frac{d}{dt})$ each component function. x, z: chain rule y: constant $\mathrm{r}^{\prime}(t):\quad\left\{\begin{array}{ll} x=e^{t^{2}}\cdot 2t & \\ \\ y=0\\ & \\ z=\dfrac{1}{(1+3t)}\cdot 3 & \end{array}\right. $ $\displaystyle \mathrm{r}^{\prime}(t)=2te^{t^{2}}\mathrm{i}+\frac{3}{1+3t}\mathrm{k}$
