Answer

$\lt 2t+1,2t-1,3t^2 \gt$, $\lt 2,2,6t \gt$ , $\sqrt {9t^4+8t^2+2}$

Work Step by Step

Given: $r(t)=\lt t^2+t,t^2-t,t^3 \gt$ Our aim is to calculate the velocity vector, acceleration vector and speed. In order to calculate the all above terms we will use formulas, such as: $v(t)=r'(t)$ and $a(t)=v'(t)$ and speed is the magnitude of the velocity vector, that is $s(t)=|v(t)|$. Now, $v(t)=r'(t)=\lt 2t+1,2t-1,3t^2 \gt$ $a(t)=v'(t)=\lt 2,2,6t \gt$ $s(t)=|v(t)|=\sqrt {(2t+1)^2+(2t-1)^2+(3t^2)^2}=\sqrt {9t^4+8t^2+2}$ Hence, the required answers are: $\lt 2t+1,2t-1,3t^2 \gt$, $\lt 2,2,6t \gt$ , $\sqrt {9t^4+8t^2+2}$
