Final answer:

The domain of the vector function is −5<t≤6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the domain of the vector function

r(t)=⟨ 36−t 2,e −4t ,ln(t+5)⟩, we need to consider the restrictions imposed by the square root and the natural logarithm functions.

Square Root Function:

For the square root function to be defined, the expression inside the square root must be non-negative:

36−t 2 ≥0

Solving for

36t 2 ≤36−6≤t≤6

Exponential Function:

The exponential function −4t

is defined for all real values of

Natural Logarithm Function:

The natural logarithm function

ln(t+5) is defined only for positive values inside the logarithm. So, t+5>0: t>−5

Considering all these conditions together, the domain of the vector function r(t) is:−5<t≤6

Therefore, the domain is t belonging to the open interval (−5,6].
