Study Notes

Parametric Equations

  • Parametric equations represent x and y as functions of a third variable (parameter), t.
  • x = f(t) and y = g(t) are examples of parametric equations.
  • Derivatives of parametric equations can be found using:
    • dy/dx = (dy/dt) / (dx/dt)
    • d²y/dx² = [d(dy/dt)/dt] / (dx/dt)

Exercises 13.1

  • Problem 1: Find dy/dx and d²y/dx² given x = t² and y = t³ – 3t.

  • Solutions provided in the text:

    • dy/dx = (3t² – 3) / (2t)
    • d²y/dx² = 6t/(2t)³ = 3/(2t²)
  • Problem 2: Find dy/dx given x = 4 + t² and y = t + t³.

    • Solution: dy/dx= (2t + 3t²)/2t=(1+3t^2/2t)
  • Problem 3: Find dy/dx and d²y/dx² for the parametric equations; x = 2 sin t and y = 3 cos t

    • Solution:
      • dy/dx = -3 tan t/2
      • d²y/dx² = -3 sec³t/4

Applications of Parametric Equations (Exercises 13.2)

  • Problem 1: Find the tangent equation to the curve defined by x = t⁴ + 1 and y = t³ + t at t=-1.

  • Note: The solution to the problem involves finding y and x at t=-1.

  • Problem 2: Find the tangent equation to the curve specified by the parametric equations x = 1 + ln t, y = t² + 2 at the given point (1,3).

  • Note: The solution involves finding dy/dx and the tangent line at the given point.

  • Problem 3: Find the points on the curve with parametric equations x = 2t³ and y = 1 + 4t – t² where the tangent lines have a slope of 1.

Partial Derivatives

  • Partial derivatives are used when a function depends on multiple variables (e.g., z = f(x, y)).
  • fx (partial derivative of f with respect to x) is found by treating y as a constant.
  • fy (partial derivative of f with respect to y) is found by treating x as a constant.
  • Examples:
    • z = 2x + 3y – 6 : fx = 2 and fy = 3
    • f(x, y) = x³ + x² y³ – 2y²: fx = 3x² + 2xy³ and fy = 3x²y² - 4y
