1. Let 𝐫(t) = 𝑎 cos 𝑡 𝐢 + a sin 𝑡 𝐣 + f(t)𝐤 be a plane curve. Prove that f(t) satisfies the equation
𝑓 ||| (𝑡) + 𝑓 | (𝑡) = 0, where 𝑓 | (𝑡), 𝑓 ||| (𝑡) denote the first and third derivatives of f
respectively.
2. If the tangent and binormal at a point of a curve make angles 𝜃 and ∅ respectively with a
fixed direction, then prove that
