Question

The position function of a spaceship is

r(t) = (6 + t) i + (4 + ln(t)) j + (9-4/(t^2-1) k

and the coordinates of a space station are 

(9, 6, 11).

 The captain wants the spaceship to coast into the space station. When should the engines be turned off?

t=?

The position function of a spaceship is
