Tutorial Exercise
Given the parametric equations x = 8t^3 + 6t and y = 9t - 7t^2, we are asked to find the derivatives with respect to t and also dx.
Step 1:
We are given the following parametric equations and asked to find derivatives with respect to t and also dx.
x = 8t^3 + 6t
y = 9t - 7t^2
Recall that x and y are simply functions of t, so we find their derivatives with respect to t as usual.
dx/dt = 24t^2 + 6
dy/dt = 9 - 14t
