                             Vector Functions and Space Curves
    Goals:
            Graph certain plane curves.
            Compute limits and verify the continuity of vector functions.

    Equation of a Line
    The equation of a line was our first example of a vector valued function.
    For example
                                          r(t) = h3 − 2t,5 + t,2 + 4ti.
    Observe
        1 The input of this function is a number: t.
        2 The output of this function is a vector: r(t).
        3 r is really defined by three real-valued functions:
                                    x = 3−2t                  y = 5+t                  z = 2+4t.

    Vector Valued Functions
    Definition
    Ageneral vector valued function r(t) has a number as an input and a
    vector of some fixed dimension as its output.
    If the outputs are two-dimensional, then there are component functions
    f (t) and g(t) such that
                                                  r(t) = hf (t),g(t)i
                                                        or
                                                  r(t) = f (t)i + g(t)j.
    The domain of r is the set of all t for which both component functions
    are defined.
                                                        Multivariable Calculus                                               3 / 32
                                                     Section 13.1     Vector Functions and Space Curves
    The Plane Curve Associated to a Vector Function
    If we view the outputs of a vector function
                                                    r(t) = hf (t),g(t)i
    as position vectors, then the points they define trace out a shape in
    two-dimensional space.
    Definition
    Aplane curve is the set of points defined by two parametric equations
                                                x = f(t)              y = g(t).
    The variable t is called the parameter. We might restrict t to some
    interval, or let t range over the entire real number line.
