Answer

$x=4+4t; y=3+2t; z=8+12t$

Work Step by Step

Since we know the velocity is: $v(t)=r'(t)=\lt 2t,2,3t^2\gt$ and $v(2)=\lt 4,2,12 \gt$ The velocity components of $v$ are : $v_x=4,v_y=2,v_y=12$ So, the parametric equations are: $x=(4)t+4=4+4t; y=(2) t+(3)=3+2t; z=(12)t+(8)=8+12t$ Hence, $x=4+4t; y=3+2t; z=8+12t$
