What is the derivative of #f(t) = (t +e^t, e^t-tcost ) #? Calculus Parametric Functions Derivative of Parametric Functions 1 Answer 1s2s2p Feb 1, 2018 #(dy)/(dx)=(e^t+tsint)/(1+e^t)# Explanation: #x=t+e^t# #y=e^t-tcost# #(dy)/(dx)=(dy)/(dt)-:(dx)/(dt)# #(dy)/(dt)=d/dt[e^t-tcost]# #color(white)((dy)/(dt))=d/dt[e^t]-d/dt[tcost]# #color(white)((dy)/(dt))=e^t+tsint# #(dx)/(dt)=d/dt[t+e^t]# #color(white)((dx)/(dt))=d/dt[t]+d/dt[e^t]# #color(white)((dx)/(dt))=1+e^t# #(dy)/(dx)=(e^t+tsint)/(1+e^t)# Answer link Related questions How do you find the second derivative of a parametric function?
