Answer

$T(0)=\dfrac{2}{3}i-\dfrac{2}{3}j+\dfrac{1}{3}k$; $r''(0)=4i+4j+4k$; and $ r'(t) \cdot r''(t) =12e^{4t}-8e^{-4t}+12te^{4t}+8t^2e^{4t}$

Work Step by Step

Given: $r(t)=\lt e^{2t},e^{-2t},te^{2t} \gt $ In order to find $r'(t)$ we will have to take the derivative of $r(t)$ with respect to $t$. Thus, $r'(t)=2e^{2t}i-2e^{-2t}j+(e^{2t}+2te^{2t})k$ As we know $T(t)=\dfrac{r'(t)}{|r'(t)|}$ Then, $T(0)=\dfrac{r'(0)}{|r'(0)|}$ $r'(0)=2e^{2(0)}i-2e^{-2(0)}j+(e^{2(0)}+2(0)e^{2(0)})k=2i-2j+k$ and $|r'(0)|=\sqrt {4+4+1}=3$ So, $T(0)=\dfrac{2i-2j+k}{3}=\dfrac{2}{3}i-\dfrac{2}{3}j+\dfrac{1}{3}k$ $r''(t)=4e^{2t}i+4e^{-2t}j+(2e^{2t}+2e^2t+4te^{2t})k$ $\implies r''(0)=4e^{2(0)}i+4e^{-2(0)}j+(2e^{2(0)}+2e^2(0)+4te^{2(0)})k=4i+4j+4k$ $ r'(t) \cdot r''(t) =(2e^{2t}i-2e^{-2t}j+(e^{2t}+2te^{2t})k) \cdot 4e^{2t}i+4e^{-2t}j+(2e^{2t}+2e^2t+4te^{2t})k)=12e^{4t}-8e^{-4t}+12te^{4t}+8t^2e^{4t}$ Hence, $T(0)=\dfrac{2}{3}i-\dfrac{2}{3}j+\dfrac{1}{3}k$; $r''(0)=4i+4j+4k$; and $ r'(t) \cdot r''(t) =12e^{4t}-8e^{-4t}+12te^{4t}+8t^2e^{4t}$
