The standard helix was parameterized in the lecture: [cost,sint,t]T.
(a, b) Create a function hinRR3 whose path will be an helix that rises exactly 6 units as it turns one full revolution. (Hint: you want this new helix to be at the point [1,0,0]T at time t=0 and at the point [1,0,6]T after one revolution.) By simply using a felicitous placement of a scalar or two in the parameterization of the standard helix, you can create this "special" helix. (Muttiple right answers are possible.)
h(t),=
(b) If you got problem (a) right, then find the function's first and second derivative. If you did not get it right, still answer and hope for partial credit:
h'(t)=
h''(t)=
(c, d) Find the length of one turn of this special helix. Two methods of solution are possible: (a) using "brute force" with your function h(it's not too hard), and (b) using a clever argument in the manner of the solution of a competition problem. In any case, get me a good, satisfying answer. Only half credit will be awarded for an answer that is an integral that has not been evaluated.
