Answer

$r(t)=\cos ti+\sin t j+\cos 2t k$ ; $0 \leq t \leq 2 \pi$

Work Step by Step

Here, we have $z=x^2-y^2$ and $x^2+y^2=1$ The parametric equations of a circle having radius $r$ are: $x=r \cos t ; y =r \sin t$ Now, the parametric equations of a circle having radius $1$ are: $x=\cos t ; y = \sin t$ and $z=x^2-y^2=\cos^2 t -\sin^2 t=\cos (2t)$ Hence, the parametric equations in vector form are: $r(t)=\cos ti+\sin t j+\cos 2t k$ ; $0 \leq t \leq 2 \pi$
