If anyone could explain how the following is done, it would be greatly appreciated!:
Find the unit tangent vector T and unit normal vector N for the given curve at the indicated point: r(t)=<t, t^2, t^3> at (1,1,1)
r(t) = <t, t^2, t^3>
Now, I've found T by the following:
v(t) = <1, 2t, 3t^2>
v(1) = <1, 2, 3>
|v(1)| = sqrt(14)
T = <1/sqrt(14), 2/sqrt(14), 3/sqrt(14)>.
But I was wondering if anyone could explain how to find N.
