Math 4A CalcPlot3D Lab 03
Topic: Vector-valued Functions and Graphing a Space Curve
Go to the website to access the CalcPlot3D app.
CalcPlot3D – Monroe Community College
https://www.monroecc.edu/faculty/paulseeburger/calcnsf/CalcPlot3D/
Objective: The goal of Lab 03 show how CalcPlot3D constructs space curves and demonstrate how to
trace and display its path.
Here is a video that will demonstrate how to plot space curves using CalcPlot3D:
Apply what you have learned in the first two labs on plotting
surfaces along with the video for plotting space curves and
reproduce the image in section 12.1, example 4 on page 822.

Objective: The goal of Lab 03 show how CalcPlot3D constructs space curves, trace the path of the curve,
and display the Frenet frame using its vector-valued function plotting capabilities
Here is a video that will demonstrate how to plot space curves using CalcPlot3D:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYftS8Kyvnk and discover how to display the Frenet Frame (or TNB-frame).
Use the space curve capabilities of CalcPlot3D to display
the space curve of the vector-valued function defined by
𝑟(𝑡) = (sin 𝑡 − 𝑡 cos 𝑡) 𝒊⃗ + (cos 𝑡 + 𝑡 sin 𝑡) 𝒋⃗ + 𝑡 ⃗𝒌⃗
and display at 𝑡 = 5 , the unit tangent vector, the unit
normal vector, and the unit binormal vector.

EXAMPLE 4 Representing a Graph: Vector-Valued Function
Sketch the space curve C represented by the intersection of the semiellipsoid

and the parabolic cylinder y = x2. Then find a vector-valued function to represent the
graph.
Solution The intersection of the two surfaces is shown in Figure 12.5. As in
Example 3, a natural choice of parameter is x = t. For this choice, you can use the
given equation y = xto obtain y = 12. Then it follows that

Because the curve lies above the xy-plane, you should choose the positive square root
for z and obtain the parametric equations
(6 + 12)(4 – 12)
*= 1, y = 1, and z =
The resulting vector-valued function is
(6 + 2)(4 – 12)
r(t) = ti + t?j +

(Note that the k-component of r(t) implies -2 51 2.) From the points (-2,4, 0)
and (2, 4, 0) shown in Figure 12.5, you can see that the curve is traced as t increases
from -2 to 2.
