Reparameterize the curve r ( t ) = e t sin t , e t cos t , 5 e t in terms of the arclength parameter, s with (0,1,5) as the base point.
So first, r ( t ) = e t sin t + e t cos t , e t cos t e t sin t , 5 e t
Then I took the magnitude of r′(t) which is ( e t sin t + e t cos t ) 2 + ( e t cos t e t sin t ) 2 + ( 5 e t ) 2
Next, I took the integral from 0 to t of ( e t sin t + e t cos t ) 2 + ( e t cos t e t sin t ) 2 + ( 5 e t ) 2 d t to get s ( t ) = 3 3 e t
After this I don't know how to get t(s) and then r(t(s)).

Watch your integration constant. Since we need s = t = 0 at the base point, s = 3 3 ( e t 1 ). So t = ln ( 1 + s 3 3 ) , from which you can get r.
