a)

\n

To find the coordinates of the point corresponding to $t=\\var{e1}$, substitute $t=\\var{e1}$ into the expression for the curve, i.e.

\n

\\[\\pmatrix{x,y}=\\pmatrix{\\simplify{{a1}*cos({b1*e1})},\\simplify{{c1}*cos({d1*e1})}}=\\pmatrix{\\var{x},\\var{y}}.\\]

\n

 

\n

b)

\n

Differentiate each component of the vector in part a) to find the tangent vector $\\boldsymbol{u}$, i.e.

\n

\\[\\boldsymbol{u}=\\pmatrix{\\frac{\\mathrm{d}}{\\mathrm{d}t}\\left(\\simplify{{a1}*cos({b1}*t)}\\right),\\frac{\\mathrm{d}}{\\mathrm{d}t}\\left(\\simplify{{c1}*sin({d1}*t)}\\right)}=\\pmatrix{\\simplify{{-a1*b1}*sin({b1}*t)},\\simplify{{c1*d1}*cos({d1}*t)}}.\\]

\n

The tangent vector at $t=\\var{e1}$ is found by substituting $t=\\var{e1}$ into the tangent vector $\\boldsymbol{u}$, i.e.

\n

\\[\\boldsymbol{u}\\vert_{t=\\var{e1}}=\\pmatrix{\\simplify{{-a1*b1}*sin({b1*e1})},\\simplify{{c1*d1}*cos({d1*e1})}}=\\pmatrix{\\var{dxdte1},\\var{dydte1}}.\\]

\n

The velocity $u$ is given by $u=\\lvert\\boldsymbol{u}\\rvert=\\sqrt{\\left(\\frac{\\mathrm{d}x}{\\mathrm{d}t}\\right)^2+\\left(\\frac{\\mathrm{d}y}{\\mathrm{d}t}\\right)^2}$.  We must calculate the speed at $t=\\var{f1}$, however, therefore
