Exercise 1a: C C S e

The document discusses exercises related to parametrically defined curves. It defines the slope of a tangent line using implicit differentiation and the parametric form of the derivative. It also defines arc length and area of surfaces of revolution for parametric curves. Several exercises involve finding slope, arc length, and surface areas for specific curves defined parametrically.

Recall Exercise 1 from Handout 10.2, where we considered the elliptical path of a moon around a planet, given by the equation 9x2 + 16y2 = 144. Exercise 1a: Using the parameterization from Exercise 1 in Handout 10.2, determine the time t at which the moon reaches the plotted point, P. You may assume only that the xcoordinate at P is 3.
t x(t ) = 4 cos 10 t y (t ) = 3 sin 10

Exercise 1b: Determine the slope of the line tangent to the graph at the point P by using implicit differentiation.

Exercise 1c: Does the slope (derivative) tell you the speed of the moon at the point P? If not, then what information does the slope value give you?

Exercise 1d: Determine the slope of the line tangent to the graph at the point P by using regular differentiation.

Parametric Form of the Derivative Def.: If a smooth curve, C, is given by the parametric equations x = f(t) and y = g(t), then the slope of C at the point (x , y) is

Exercise 1e: Determine the slope of the line tangent to the graph at the point P by using the parametric form of the derivative.
t x(t ) = 4 cos 10 dx = dt

t y (t ) = 3 sin 10

dy = dt

Thus,

dy = dx

and

Higher-Order Derivatives Because


dy is itself a function of t, we can repeatedly apply the definition at the bottom dx

of page 2 to obtain

d2y = dx 2

d3y = dx 3

Arc Length in Parametric Form Def.: If a smooth curve, C, given by the parametric equations x = f(t) and y = g(t), is such that C does not intersect itself on the interval a t b (except possibly at the endpoints), then the arc length of C over the interval a t b is

Area of a Surface of Revolution Def.: If a smooth curve, C, given by the parametric equations x = f(t) and y = g(t), is such that C does not intersect itself on the interval a t b (except possibly at the endpoints), then the area of the surface of revolution formed by revolving C about one of the coordinate axes is given by

Exercise 4: Let C be the arc of the circle x2 + y2 = 16 from (4 , 0) to (2 3 , 2 ) . Determine the area of the surface formed by revolving C about the x-axis. C can be represented by x = f(t) = What are a and b? (4, 0) x = 4 and y = g(t) =
