Question

Sketch the curve with the given vector equation. Indicate with an arrow the direction in which t increases.

**Problem 10:**  
The vector function \( \mathbf{r}(t) \) is given by:

\[
\mathbf{r}(t) = \langle \sin(\pi t), t, \cos(\pi t) \rangle
\]

**Explanation:**  
This represents a parametric curve in three-dimensional space where:

- The \(x\)-component is \(\sin(\pi t)\).
- The \(y\)-component is \(t\).
- The \(z\)-component is \(\cos(\pi t)\).

As \(t\) varies, the point \((\sin(\pi t), t, \cos(\pi t))\) traces a path through space. The curve intertwines sinusoidal motion in the \(x\)- and \(z\)-directions with a linear increase in the \(y\)-direction.

This curve can be visualized as an ascending trajectory with sinusoidal oscillations in two axes.
