Step 1: Understand the problem. The goal is to reparametrize the given curve r(t) = (3t, 4t) in terms of the arclength s. Arclength is a measure of the distance traveled along the curve as a function of t.
Step 2: Compute the magnitude of the derivative of r(t) with respect to t. First, find r'(t) by differentiating each component of r(t): r'(t) = (d/dt[3t], d/dt[4t]) = (3, 4). Then, calculate the magnitude of r'(t), which is ||r'(t)|| = sqrt((3)^2 + (4)^2) = sqrt(9 + 16) = sqrt(25) = 5.
Step 3: Relate the arclength s to the parameter t. The arclength s is given by the integral of ||r'(t)|| with respect to t. Since ||r'(t)|| = 5, we have s = ∫||r'(t)|| dt = ∫5 dt = 5t. Therefore, t = s/5.
Step 4: Substitute t = s/5 into the original curve r(t) to reparametrize it in terms of s. Replace t in r(t) = (3t, 4t) with s/5: r(s) = (3(s/5), 4(s/5)) = (3s/5, 4s/5).
Step 5: Verify the reparametrization. Check that the magnitude of the derivative of r(s) with respect to s is 1, which confirms that the curve is correctly reparametrized in terms of arclength. Compute r'(s) = (d/ds[3s/5], d/ds[4s/5]) = (3/5, 4/5). The magnitude is ||r'(s)|| = sqrt((3/5)^2 + (4/5)^2) = sqrt(9/25 + 16/25) = sqrt(25/25) = 1.
