Answer

$\mathbf{T}(t)=\frac{\mathbf{r}^{\prime}(t)}{\left\|\mathbf{r}^{\prime}(t)\right\|}, \quad \mathbf{r}(t)=\frac{\mathbf{T}(t)}{\left\|\mathbf{T}^{\prime}(t)\right\|}, \quad \mathbf{B}(t)=\mathbf{T}(t) \times \mathbf{N}(t)$

Work Step by Step

Consider $\mathbf{r}(t)$ is smooth vector valued function: \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{\mathbf{r}^{\prime}(t)}{\left\|\mathbf{r}^{\prime}(t)\right\|} =\mathbf{T}(t) &\\ \frac{\mathbf{T}(t)}{\left\|\mathbf{T}^{\prime}(t)\right\|} =\mathbf{r}(t) &\\ & \mathbf{T}(t) \times \mathbf{N}(t)=\frac{\mathbf{r}^{\prime}(t) \times \mathbf{r}^{\prime \prime}(t)}{\left\|\mathbf{r}^{\prime}(t) \times \mathbf{r}^{\prime \prime}(t)\right\|}=\mathbf{B}(t) \\ \end{aligned} \]
