Homework Statement
Velocity vector given by r'(t)=<cos(t), -sin(t), -2sin(t)>
Surface that the position vector needs to lie on: z=x2+y2
Homework Equations
Integral of r'(t) will give position function
The Attempt at a Solution
I know that the integral of r'(t) will give me the position function down to a constant so I know the vector is something like <sin(t)+C_1, cos(t)+C_2, 2cos(t)+C_3> I just do not know how to figure out the different C's for the components. I have tried putting the components into the surfaces equation but it didnt turn out correct. Anyone have any advice of how to solve this problem.
