Where is my mistake?Find the unit tangent vector at (1,2/3,1) => t=1.r(t)=<t^2,(2/3)t^3,t>r'(t)=<2t,2*t^2,1>|r'(t)|=SQRT(4*t^2+4*t^4+1)T(t)=<2t,2*t^2,1>/(SQRT(4*t^2+4*t^4+1))T(1)=<2,2,1>/(SQRT(9))=<2/3,2/3,1/3>But the back of the book says <2/3,2/3,1/3>. Nevermind, I need some remedial reading classes.[Edited on July 9, 2007 at 6:52 PM. Reason : derivative]
