Q. A curve is defined by the parametric equations x(t)=−2sin(−9t) and y(t)=−7t3+5t2+10t. 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)=−2sin(−9t) with respect to t is found using the chain rule.dtdx=dtd[−2sin(−9t)]=−2⋅cos(−9t)⋅(−9)=18cos(−9t)
Calculate dxdy: Now, let's find dtdy. The derivative of y(t)=−7t3+5t2+10t with respect to t is found by differentiating each term separately.dtdy=dtd[−7t3+5t2+10t]=−21t2+10t+10
Calculate dxdy: Now, let's find dtdy. The derivative of y(t)=−7t3+5t2+10t with respect to t is found by differentiating each term separately.dtdy=dtd[−7t3+5t2+10t]=−21t2+10t+10Finally, we find dxdy by dividing dtdy by dtdx.dxdy=dtdy/dtdx=18cos(−9t)−21t2+10t+10
