Answer

$\dfrac{\pi}{2}$

Work Step by Step

Here, $r_1'(t)=-\sin t i+\cos t j+k; r_1'(0)=0 i+ j+k$ and $r_2'(t)=i+2t j+3t^2 k; r_1'(0)=i+0 j+0 k$ Apply the dot product formula to find the angle. $\theta=\cos^{-1} [\dfrac{p \cdot q}{|p||q|}]$ Now, we have $\theta=\cos^{-1} [\dfrac{(0)(1)+(1)(0)+(1)(0)}{|1||1|}]$ or, $\theta=\cos^{-1} [0]$ Hence, $\theta=\dfrac{\pi}{2}$
