Option B is not a space curve.
Solución
1. A space curve is typically defined as a one-dimensional curve embedded in three-dimensional space. It is expressed with equations of the form
\[
x = f(t),\quad y = g(t),\quad z = h(t)
\]
where \(t\) is a parameter.
2. **Option A:**
\[
x = f(t),\quad y = g(t),\quad z = h(t)
\]
This is the standard form of a space curve.
3. **Option B:**
\[
x = 2,\quad y = 3,\quad z = 4
\]
Since there is no parameter and the coordinates are constant, this represents a single point in space rather than a curve.
4. **Option C:**
\[
x = t,\quad y = t,\quad z = t
\]
This describes a line in space along the direction \((1,1,1)\), which is a space curve.
5. **Option D:**
\[
x = 1+t,\quad y = t^{3},\quad z = t^{2}-1
\]
This is a parametric representation of a curve in space.
Thus, the option that is NOT a space curve is:
B

Beyond the Answer
The options that are NOT space curves are B and C. In option B, \( x=2, y=3, z=4 \) describes a single point in 3D space (specifically, the point (2, 3, 4)), which doesn’t form a curve because there’s no variation in the parameters. Meanwhile, option C, where \( x=t, y=t, z=t \), describes a straight line through the origin in a uniform manner, which, while being a valid parametric representation, doesn’t have the complexity or curvature associated with space curves that change direction in 3D space.
