Sec. 10.3: Parametric Equations and Calculus How do you find the derivative of a set of parametric equations?
Sec. 10.3: Parametric Equations and Calculus Ex: Find dy / dx for the curve given by
Sec. 10.3: Parametric Equations and Calculus For higher order derivatives, use Theorem 10.7 repeatedly. Second derivative Third derivative Notice that the denominator for each higher-order derivative is alwaysdx/dt.
Sec. 10.3: Parametric Equations and Calculus Ex: For the curve given by find the slope and concavity at the point (2, 3).
Sec. 10.3: Parametric Equations and Calculus The second derivative is
Sec. 10.3: Parametric Equations and Calculus We’re given the point (2, 3) & Since x = 2, that means that or t = 4. The slope at (2, 3) is: And the concavity at (2, 3) is: ∴concave up
Sec. 10.3: Parametric Equations and Calculus Ex: The prolate cycloid given by crosses itself at the point (0, 2). Find the equations of both tangent lines at this point.
Sec. 10.3: Parametric Equations and Calculus Ex: The prolate cycloid given by crosses itself at the point (0, 2). Find the equations of both tangent lines at this point.
Sec. 10.3: Parametric Equations and Calculus Ex: The prolate cycloid given by crosses itself at the point (0, 2). Find the equations of both tangent lines at this point.
Sec. 10.3: Parametric Equations and Calculus A point is given; you need only determine the slope, dy/dx. Now you need to determine t. Use the original parametric equations to determine t.
Sec. 10.3: Parametric Equations and Calculus Solve one of these equations for t. The second equation would be the easiest.
Sec. 10.3: Parametric Equations and Calculus When t = /2, and the equation is
Sec. 10.3: Parametric Equations and Calculus When t = –/2, and the equation is
Sec. 10.3: Parametric Equations and Calculus Horizontal Tangents If when t = t0, then the curve represented by has a horizontal tangent at
Sec. 10.3: Parametric Equations and Calculus Vertical Tangents If when t = t0, then the curve represented by has a vertical tangent at
Sec. 10.3: Parametric Equations and Calculus Ex: Find all points (if any) of horizontal and vertical tangency to the curve defined byx = t + 1 and y = t 2 + 3t.
Sec. 10.3: Parametric Equations and Calculus Ex: Find all points (if any) of horizontal and vertical tangency to the curve defined byx = t + 1 and y = t 2 + 3t. never
Sec. 10.3: Parametric Equations and Calculus never Horizontal tangency: Vertical tangency: never NONE
