Let y = f (x). State the definition for the continuity of the function f at a point c in the domain of f .
As we saw in Example 1, the graph of the vector-valued function is a circular helix that spirals counterclockwise around the z-axis and climbs ast increases. Find another parametrization for this helix so that the motion along the helix is faster for a given change in the parameter.
