Problem 10 of 10 [10 points] Which of the following statements are true (T) and which are false (F)? You do not need to give reasons. This problem will be graded by answer only. [1 point each] (1.) If a smooth curve C is parameterized by r(s) where s is arc length, then the tangent vector r′(s) satisfies |r′(s)| = 1. (2.)
