Answer

$r(t)=ti+(\dfrac{t^2-1}{2})j+(\dfrac{t^2+1}{2})k$

Work Step by Step

The parametric equations of a circle whose radius is $r$ are given as follows: $x=r \cos t ; y =r \sin t$ From the given problem, we have $z=\sqrt {x^2+y^2}$ and $z=1+y$ Now, $z=\sqrt {x^2+y^2} \implies x^2+y^2=1+2y+y^2$ This yields: $y=\dfrac{x^2-1}{2}$ Plug $x=t$, Now, we get $y=\dfrac{t^2-1}{2}$ This implies that $z=\dfrac{t^2-1}{2}+1=\dfrac{t^2+1}{2}$ Hence, we have the parametric equation in the vector form as follows; $r(t)=ti+(\dfrac{t^2-1}{2})j+(\dfrac{t^2+1}{2})k$
