Work Step by Step

See Theorem $12.5 .2 b$ \[ \begin{array}{l} \kappa(t)=\frac{\left\|\mathrm{r}^{\prime}(t) \times \mathrm{r}^{\prime \prime}(t)\right\|}{\left\|\mathrm{r}^{\prime}(t)\right\|^{3}} =\kappa(0)\\ \mathrm{r}^{\prime}(t) \times \mathrm{r}^{\prime \prime}(t)=\left|\begin{array}{ccc} i & j & k \\ 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 1 & 2 & 0 \end{array}\right|=2 k \\ \kappa(0)=\frac{\|2 \mathrm{k}\|}{\|\mathrm{i}\|^{3}}=2 \end{array} \]
