Q. A curve is defined by the parametric equations x(t)=−10sin(10t) and y(t)=3t2. Find dxdy.Answer:
Find dtdx: To find dxdy for parametric equations, we need to find dtdy and dtdx separately and then divide dtdy by dtdx.
Find dtdy: First, let's find dtdx. The derivative of x(t)=−10sin(10t) with respect to t is found using the chain rule.dtdx=dtd[−10sin(10t)]=−10⋅cos(10t)⋅10=−100cos(10t)
Divide to find dxdy: Next, we find dtdy. The derivative of y(t)=3t2 with respect to t is found using the power rule.dtdy=dtd[3t2]=2⋅3⋅t2−1=6t
Simplify dxdy: Now we divide dtdy by dtdx to find dxdy.dxdy=dtdxdtdy=−100cos(10t)6t
Simplify dxdy: Now we divide dtdy by dtdx to find dxdy. dxdy=dtdxdtdy=−100cos(10t)6t We simplify the expression for dxdy. dxdy=100cos(10t)−6t=50cos(10t)−3t
