question 40

Multiple Choice

Let $C$ be a smooth curve defined by $\mathbf { r } ( t ) = 2 \mathbf { i } + 3 t \mathbf { j } + 2 t ^ { 2 } \mathbf { k }$ , and let $\mathbf { T } ( t )$ and $\mathbf { N } ( t )$ be the unit tangent vector and unit normal vector to $C$ corresponding to $t$ . The plane determined by $\mathbf { T }$ and $\mathbf { N }$ is called the osculating plane. Find an equation of the osculating plane of the curve described by $\mathbf { r } ( t )$ at $t = 1$ .
