Space Curves: Tracing out the Tip of a Continuous Vector Function


In this video I show that a continuous vector function in 3D forms a curve in space when tracing out the point on the tip of the vector as it moves in time. Note that a continuous vector function means that its vector functions are also continuous. I go over a simple example of a space curve, which turns out to be just a line. I rewrite the vector function as parametric equations of a line and as a vector equation of a line.
