Question | Answer |

vertical tangent for Parametric Equations | dx/dt = 0 , provided dy/dt does NOT equal 0 |
second derivative for parametric equations | (d^(2)y)/(dx^(2)) = (d/dx)(dy/dx) = ((d/dt)(dy/dx))/(dx/dt) |
parametric equation of a circle | x = acos(kt)+ c y = asin(kt)+ d |
arc length for Parametric Equations | L = the integral of the square root of (dx/dt)^2 + (dy/dt)^2 from a to b |
derivative of a Parametric Equation | dy/dx = (dy/dt)/(dx/dt) , provided dx/dt does NOT equal zero |
horizontal tangent for Parametric Equations | dy/dt = 0 , provided dx/dt does NOT equal 0 |
singular point at t for parametric equations | dy/dx= (dy/dt)/(dx/dy), provided both dy/dt = 0 and dx/dt = 0 at the same t value |
instantaneous speed for parametric equations | = the square root of (dx/dt)^(2) + (dy/dt)^2 |
average speed for parametric equations | = (the integral of the quare root of (dx/dt)^(2) + (dy/dt)^(2) on the interval of [a,b]) all divided by the change in t |
parametric equation for an ellipse | x = acos(kt)+ c y = bsin(kt)+ d |
parametric equation for a parabola | x = t y = t^(2) |
parametric to cartesian | 2 ways 1) substitution 2) use Pythagorean trigonometric identity for example cos^(2)(x) + sin^(2)(x) = 1 |
