r = [4sint]i + [4cost]j + [3t]k

The unit tangent vector at o is T(0) = (4/5)i + (3/5)k

But what is the derivative of the unit tangent vector at 0 T'(0)? Do you just apply the quotient rule to the formula for the unit tangent vector?

dr/dt= 4cost i-4sin t j +3 k
d2r/dt^2 = -4sint i-4cost j   and t at t=0 (unit vector) is- j
