What is Parametric Equation?

In many practical applications, curves are defined not in terms of a single variable \( y \) as a function of \( x \) (or vice versa) but rather in terms of a third variable, typically \( t \), known as a parameter. In such cases, both \( x \) and \( y \) are expressed as functions of \( t \), and we can differentiate these parametric equations to find the slope of the tangent to the curve at any point.

Parametric Equations Concepts

1. Parametric Equations: Equations where \( x \) and \( y \) are expressed as functions of a parameter, usually \( t \).
Example: \( x = f(t) \) and \( y = g(t) \)

2. Differentiating parametric equations requires understanding that both \( x \) and \( y \) are functions of \( t \).

The derivative \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) can be found using the formula \(\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\frac{dy}{dt}}{\frac{dx}{dt}}\).

To find higher-order derivatives, continue by differentiating \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) with respect to \( t \) and dividing by \(\frac{dx}{dt}\).

Applications include physics problems like velocity and acceleration in parametric motion.

Differentiating Parametric Equations

 To find \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) when \( x \) and \( y \) are in parametric form, we use:
\[
\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\frac{dy}{dt}}{\frac{dx}{dt}}
\]

Here, \(\frac{dy}{dt}\) and \(\frac{dx}{dt}\) represent the derivatives of \( y \) and \( x \) with respect to \( t \).

 

Second Derivative

To find the second derivative, \(\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}\), we differentiate \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) with respect to \( t \):
\[
\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = \frac{\frac{d}{dt} \left( \frac{dy}{dx} \right)}{\frac{dx}{dt}}
\]

 

Examples 1.

Basic Differentiation of Parametric Equations


Suppose \( x = t^2 \) and \( y = t^3 \). Find \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) at \( t = 1 \).

1. Differentiate \( x \) and \( y \) with respect to \( t \):
\[
\frac{dx}{dt} = 2t \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{dy}{dt} = 3t^2
\]

2. Substitute into the formula:
\[
\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\frac{dy}{dt}}{\frac{dx}{dt}} = \frac{3t^2}{2t} = \frac{3t}{2}
\]

3. Evaluate at \( t = 1 \):
\[
\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{3 \cdot 1}{2} = \frac{3}{2}
\]

Example 2.

Finding the Slope of a Curve


Given the parametric equations \( x = \sin(t) \) and \( y = \cos(t) \), find \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) in terms of \( t \).

1. Differentiate \( x \) and \( y \) with respect to \( t \):

\[
\frac{dx}{dt} = \cos(t) \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{dy}{dt} = -\sin(t)
\]

2. Substitute into the formula:

\[
\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\frac{dy}{dt}}{\frac{dx}{dt}} = \frac{-\sin(t)}{\cos(t)} = -\tan(t)
\]

3. Therefore, \(\frac{dy}{dx} = -\tan(t)\), representing the slope of the curve at any value of \( t \).

4. Second Derivative:

\[
\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = \frac{\frac{d}{dt} \left( \frac{dy}{dx} \right)}{\frac{dx}{dt}} = \frac{3t^2 + 1}{2t^2} \cdot \frac{1}{2t} = \frac{3t^2 + 1}{4t^3}
\]

5. Substitute \( t = 1 \):

\[
\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = \frac{3(1)^2 + 1}{4(1)^3} = \frac{4}{4} = 1
\]

 

Example 3.
Second Derivative

Second Derivative of Parametric Equations

Let \( x = t^2 \) and \( y = t^3 – t \). Find \(\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}\) when \( t = 1 \).

1. First Derivative: Differentiate \( x \) and \( y \) with respect to \( t \):
\[
\frac{dx}{dt} = 2t \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{dy}{dt} = 3t^2 – 1
\]

2. Find \(\frac{dy}{dx}\):
\[
\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\frac{dy}{dt}}{\frac{dx}{dt}} = \frac{3t^2 – 1}{2t}
\]

3. Differentiate \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) with respect to \( t \) to find \(\frac{d}{dt} \left( \frac{dy}{dx} \right)\):
\[
\frac{d}{dt} \left( \frac{dy}{dx} \right) = \frac{d}{dt} \left( \frac{3t^2 – 1}{2t} \right)
\]
Using the quotient rule:
\[
\frac{d}{dt} \left( \frac{3t^2 – 1}{2t} \right) = \frac{(6t)(2t) – (3t^2 – 1)(2)}{(2t)^2} = \frac{12t^2 – 6t^2 + 2}{4t^2} = \frac{6t^2 + 2}{4t^2} = \frac{3t^2 + 1}{2t^2}
\]

4. Second Derivative:
\[
\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = \frac{\frac{d}{dt} \left( \frac{dy}{dx} \right)}{\frac{dx}{dt}} \] \[= \frac{3t^2 + 1}{2t^2} \cdot \frac{1}{2t} = \frac{3t^2 + 1}{4t^3}
\]

5. Substitute \( t = 1 \):
\[
\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = \frac{3(1)^2 + 1}{4(1)^3} = \frac{4}{4} = 1
\]

Example 4
Application in Motion Problems

A particle moves such that its position at time \( t \) is given by \( x = t^2 + 1 \) and \( y = 3t – 2 \).

Find the velocity of the particle along the curve with respect to \( x \) when \( t = 2 \).

1. Differentiate \( x \) and \( y \) with respect to \( t \):
\[
\frac{dx}{dt} = 2t \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{dy}{dt} = 3
\]

2. Find \(\frac{dy}{dx}\):
\[
\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\frac{dy}{dt}}{\frac{dx}{dt}} = \frac{3}{2t}
\]

3. Substitute \( t = 2 \):
\[
\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{3}{2 \cdot 2} = \frac{3}{4}
\]

Thus, at \( t = 2 \), the rate of change of \( y \) with respect to \( x \) (velocity along the curve) is \( \frac{3}{4} \).
