Vector Equation of a Tangent Line on a Space Curve

In this video, I go through obtaining the vector equation of a tangent line to a space curve, by replacing the parallel vector with the tangent vector from the general vector equation of a line. This was part of Question 3 of the Concept Check review, and I have expanded the tutorial at the end to illustrate how the vectors are added together in the tangent line equation.
