Hi all, I'm new and hope this is the correct format for things!
I was given a position vector r(t) = ti + 2etj+e2tk and was asked to find tangential and normal components of acceleration. I've ended up with 2et(1+2e2t)/sqrt(1+e2t) as my tangential component but am unsure how simplified that is or if it is even correct. Then I proceeded to compute the normal and ended up with 2sqrt[(e4t-e2t+et)/(1+e2t)].
All of the e functions have been messing with me and I could use some help please!
