A curve is defined by the parametric equations $x=\\var{a}+\\var{b}t, y = \\var{c}+\\var{d}t^2$

", "advice": "

We have $x=\\var{a}+\\var{b}t, y = \\var{c}+\\var{d}t^2$

\n

(i) To find $\\frac{dx}{dt}$ we simply differentiate $x=\\var{a}+\\var{b}t$ with respect to $t$ to obtain $\\frac{dx}{dt}=\\var{b}$

\n

\n

(ii) To find $\\frac{dy}{dt}$ we simply differentiate $y=\\var{c}+\\var{d}t^2$ with respect to $t$ to obtain $\\frac{dy}{dt}=2\\times\\var{d}t=\\var{2d}t$

\n

\n

(iii) Since $\\frac{dy}{dx}=\\frac{dy}{dt}/\\frac{dx}{dt}$ we have $\\frac{dy}{dx}=\\frac{\\var{2d}t}{\\var{b}}=\\var{2d/b}t$

\n

\n

(iv) When $x=\\var{x}$, we can use $x=\\var{a}+\\var{b}t$ to obtain $\\var{x}=\\var{a}+\\var{b}t$, hence $t = \\frac{\\var{x}-\\var{a}}{\\var{b}}=\\var{(x-a)/b}$

\n

Substituting this value of $t$ into $\\frac{dy}{dx}=\\var{2d/b}t$ gives $\\frac{dy}{dx}=\\var{2d/b}\\times \\var{(x-a)/b}=\\var{2d*(x-a)/b^2}$
