Answer

$$\frac{d}{dt}(t^4r_1(t)) =\langle 6 t^5,7t^6,5t^4 \rangle .$$

Work Step by Step

Since $$ r_1(t)=\langle t^2,t^3,t \rangle $$ then, we have $$\frac{d}{dt}(t^4r_1(t))=\frac{d}{dt}(t^4)r_1(t)) +t^4 \frac{d}{dt}( r_1(t))\\ =4t^3\langle t^2,t^3,t \rangle+t^4 \langle 2t,3t^2,1 \rangle\\ =\langle 6 t^5,7t^6,5t^4 \rangle .$$
