Given a differentiable vector function $r (t)$ defined on $[a, b]$ , explain why the integral role="math" localid="1649610238144" $\int_{a}^{b} ||r^{'} (t)|| d t$ would be a scalar, not a vector.

In Exercises 19–21 sketch the graph of a vector-valued function $r (t) = (x (t), y (t))$ with the specified properties. Be sure to indicate the direction of increasing values of t.

Domain localid="1649578696830" $t \geq 0, r (0) = (0, 3), r (1) = (- 2, 1), \lim_{t \to \infty} x (t) = - 5, and \lim_{t \to \infty} y (t) = - \infty .$

Given a differentiable vector-valued function r(t), what is the definition of the unit tangent vector T(t)?

Evaluate the limits in Exercises 42–45.

$\underset{t \to π}{l i m} (\sin t, \cos t, s e c t)$

Let $r (t) = (x (t), y (t)), t \in [a, \infty),$ be a vector-valued function, where a is a real number. Explain why the graph of r may or may not be contained in a circle centered at the origin. (Hint: Graph the functions $r_{1} (t) = (\frac{1}{t}, \frac{1}{t})$ and $r_{2} (t) = (t, t),$ both with domain [1,∞).)
