What is the derivative of #f(t) = (t-lnt^2, t^2-sint ) #? Calculus Parametric Functions Derivative of Parametric Functions 1 Answer 1s2s2p May 23, 2018 #dy/dx=(2t^2-tcost)/(t-2)# Explanation: Given #x=f(t),y=g(t)# #dy/dx=(dy/dt)/(dx/dt)# #dy/dt=g'(t)=2t-cost# #dx/dt=f'(t)=1-(2t)/t^2=1-2/t# #dy/dx=(2t-cost)/(1-2/t)=(2t-cost)/((t-2)/t)=(2t^2-tcost)/(t-2)# Answer link Related questions How do you find the second derivative of a parametric function?
