Answer

$\textbf{r}''(t) = \langle 16e^{4t},32e^{-4t}, 2e^{-t}\rangle$ $\textbf{r}'''(t) = \langle 64e^{4t},-128e^{-4t}, -2e^{-t}\rangle$

Work Step by Step

To find the derivative, simply find the derivative of each component. $\textbf{r}(t) = \langle e^{4t},2e^{-4t}, 2e^{-t}\rangle$ $\textbf{r}'(t) = \langle 4e^{4t},-8e^{-4t}, -2e^{-t}\rangle$ $\textbf{r}''(t) = \langle 16e^{4t},32e^{-4t}, 2e^{-t}\rangle$ $\textbf{r}'''(t) = \langle 64e^{4t},-128e^{-4t}, -2e^{-t}\rangle$
