$r(t)=sin(t)$i $+ 2cos(t)$j
$t= \pi/4$
sketch the position vector and the tangent vector
$r'(t)=cos(t)$i $- 2sin(t)$j
$r(\pi/4)= \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$i $+ \sqrt{2}$j
$r'(\pi/4)= \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$i $- \sqrt{2}$j
$\left\langle \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}, \sqrt{2} \right\rangle$
$\left\langle \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}, - \sqrt{2} \right\rangle$
can someone help me graph these. the original equation is the graph of a ellipse/circle from -1 to 1 on the x-axis and -2 to 2 on the y axis
