What is the derivative of #f(t) = (t-lnt, te^t ) #? Calculus Parametric Functions Derivative of Parametric Functions 1 Answer mason m Dec 30, 2015 #(te^t(t+1))/(t-1)# Explanation: #x=t-lnt# #dx/dt=1-1/t# Also, #y=te^t# #dy/dt=e^t+te^t=e^t(1+t)# (Used product rule.) #f'(t)=dy/dx=(dy/dt)/(dx/dt)=(e^t(1+t))/(1-1/t)=(te^t(1+t))/(t-1)# Answer link Related questions How do you find the second derivative of a parametric function?
