Here are the solutions to the problems:

1. (a) Determine the unit tangent vector to the curve whose parametric equations are: x=3cos⁡t,y=3sin⁡t,z=4tx=3\cos t, y=3\sin t, z=4t at the point (1,2,1)(1, 2, 1).

Step 1: Define the position vector r(t)\mathbf{r}(t).

r(t)=⟨3cos⁡t,3sin⁡t,4t⟩\mathbf{r}(t) = \langle 3\cos t, 3\sin t, 4t \rangle

Step 2: Find the derivative of the position vector, r′(t)\mathbf{r}'(t). This is the tangent vector.
