Sure, I'd be happy to help.

The binormal vector is defined as the cross product of the tangent vector (derivative of the position vector with respect to time) and the normal vector (a fixed vector perpendicular to the plane defined by the position vector).

Let's calculate the tangent vector and normal vector first.

Tangent vector:
The parameterization assumes we have a vector in 3D space, where in our case:

r(t) = (6t + 2)i + 5t^2j - 8tk

Then, the tangent vector is:

dr/dt = d(6t + 2) / dt * I + d(5t^2) / dt * j + d(-8t) / dt * k

Simplify this and substitute in t:

dr/dt = 6*i + 10t*j - 8*k

So, the velocity of a particle moving along r(t) is:

v = dr/dt

v = 6*i + 10t*j - 8*k

Normal vector:
Any fixed vector will do to specify the normal vector. For simplicity’s sake, let's take the normal vector directly as i,j,k.

Now, let's compute the binormal vector.

Binormal B = U x V

 U = r', t vector
    V' = r'', v vector

 U = 6i + j + k

 V = 10j - 8k

 U X V = (-12) k - (10/2) I - (10/2) j

 Thus, B = (-12) k - (10/2) I - (10/2) j

 So, the coordinates of the binormal vector B are (-12, -5, -5).

 When we write it as a list, it's (−12,−5,−5).

 Therefore, The coordinates of Binormal Vector B are (-12, -5, -5) in the Cartesian coordinate system.

 I hope this helps.

To find the binormal vector B(t), we first need to find the tangent vector T(t) and the normal vector N(t).

The tangent vector T(t) is the derivative of the position vector r(t) with respect to t:

T(t) = dr/dt = (6i + 10tj - 8k)

The magnitude of T(t) is:

|T(t)| = sqrt((6)^2 + (10t)^2 + (-8)^2) = sqrt(36 + 100t^2 + 64)

The unit tangent vector T(t) is:

T(t) = (6i + 10tj - 8k) / sqrt(36 + 100t^2 + 64)

The normal vector N(t) is the derivative of the tangent vector T(t) with respect to t:

N(t) = dT/dt = (10j - 8k) / sqrt(36 + 100t^2 + 64) + (6i + 10tj - 8k) * (-1/2)(36 + 100t^2 + 64)^(-3/2)(200t)

The binormal vector B(t) is the cross product of the tangent vector T(t) and the normal vector N(t):

B(t) = T(t) x N(t)

After computing the cross product, we get the binormal vector as a function of t:

B(t) = [x(t)i, y(t)j, z(t)k]

Unfortunately, the components x(t), y(t), and z(t) are quite complex expressions, and you didn't specify a particular value of t. If you provide a specific value of t, I can evaluate the binormal vector at that point and give you the values of x, y, and z.
