    a (t) = (-2sin2, - 2cos0, (1/2)

    r (t) = (cos2, sin2, 1/6)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    By definition, given a position vector, r (t),

    - The velocity vector v (t) is the derivative of the position vector.

    v (t) = r' (t)

    - The acceleration vector a (t) is the derivative of the velocity vector.

    a (t) = v' (t) = r'' (t).

    Knowing that integration is the reverse of differentiation, we can obtain the velocity and position vectors from the given acceleration vector.

    a (t) = (-4cos (2t), - 4sin (2t), t)

    Integrating with respect t, we have:

    v (t) = (-4/2) sin (2t), (-4/2) (-cos (2t)), (1/2) t²)

    at (1, 0, 1), a (t) = (-2sin2, - 2cos0, (1/2) (1))

    = (-0.0698, - 2, 0.5)

    Now, we integrate the velocity vector with respect to t to obtain the position vector.

    r (t) = (cos (2t), sin (2t), (1/6) t³)

    at (1, 1, 1)

    r (t) = (cos2, sin2, 1/6)

    = (0.999, 0.035, 0.167)
