Answer

$r(t) =\lt 4 \cos t, 4 \sin t, 5-4 \cos t \gt$

Work Step by Step

The parametric equation for $x=4 \cos t; y=4 \sin t$ defines the first equation for $x^2+y^2=16$ ...(1) ; the equation of a circle having radius $4$. Now, let us consider the second equation; that is, $x+z=5$ ...(2) After solving these above equations, we get $z=5 -x$ and $z=5-4 \cos t$ Hence, we get the parametric equations in vector form as follows: $r(t) =\lt 4 \cos t, 4 \sin t, 5-4 \cos t \gt$ or, $r(t) =4 \cos t i+ 4 \sin tj+(5-4 \cos t) k$
