How to find the unit tangent vector

To find the unit tangent vector for a vector function, we use the formula T(t)=(r'(t))/(||r'(t)||), where r'(t) is the derivative of the vector function and t is given. We’ll start by finding the derivative of the vector function, and then we’ll find the magnitude of the derivative. Those two values will give us everything we need in order to build the expression for the unit tangent vector.
