- Find an equation of the tangent line to the parabola y=3x2 at the point 1,3.arrow_forwardPlease help with D. The function is in the first photoarrow_forward• Find the equation of the tangent line to the curve described by the parametric equation described below at the given point. ta + 2, t3 +t (3, –2)arrow_forward
- Consider the parametric the curve defined by the equations x = t² – 2t + 2 and y = t² + t. (a) The point on the curve where the tangent line has a slope of - is (x, y) = (b) The tangent line at the point (æ, y) = (2,6) is given by the equation (Choose A, or B, or C, or D from the list below.) A) y = x – - B) y = -x + 1 C) Y +1 D) y = x+ 5arrow_forwardSolve and show complete solution.arrow_forwardUse the parametric equations x= sec(t) , y=tan(t), for -pi/2 < t < pi/2. Sketch the curve represented by the parametric equations (include the orientation of the curve) and write the corresponding rectangular equation by eliminating the parameter and Find the equation of the tangent line to the curve at t = pi/4arrow_forward
- In terms of parametric derivatives, how can you determine when a parametric curve has a horizontal tangent line? Similarly, how can you determine when the tangent line will be vertical?arrow_forwardA wheel with radius 2 cm is being pushed up a ramp at a rate of 7 cm per second. The ramp is 790 cm long, and 250 cm tall at the end. A point P is marked on the circle as shown (picture is not to scale). P 790 cm 250 cm Write parametric equations for the position of the point P as a function of t, time in seconds after the ball starts rolling up the ramp. Both x and y are measured in centimeters. I = y = You will have a radical expression for part of the horizontal component. It's best to use the exact radical expression even though the answer that WAMAP shows will have a decimal approximation.arrow_forward
