A unit tangent vector at t=2 on the curve `x=t^(2)+2, y=4t-5` and `z=2t^(2)-6t` is

A

`1/sqrt(3)(veci+vecj+veck)`

B

`1/3(2veci+2vecj+veck)`

C

`1/sqrt(6)(2veci+vecj+veck)`

D

`1/3(veci+vecj+veck)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`vecr = (vect^(2)+2)hati+(4t-5)hatj + (2t^(2)-6t)hatk`
`rArr (dvecr)/(dt) = 2thati + 4hatj+(4t-6)hatk`
`rArr (dvecr)/(dt)_(r=2) = 4hati+4hatj+2hatk`
`rArr` Unit tangent vector at `t=2` is `1/3(2hati+2hatj+hatk)`
