Parametric Differentiation - By Maria Moran

How to use this applet:

Enter your x and y equations in the appropritate boxes.

Only equations in terms of 't' will be solved.

If you require the equations solved for a particular value of 't' then enter that value in the 't=' box before pressing the differentiate button.

What's allowed: quotients/products/trignometric/simple equations/single terms

What's not: natural logs/exponentials/composite equations

Notes on the maths used in the applet:

dy/dx = (dy/dt) / (dx/dt)

Where:
y = f(t) and x = g(t)
