A curve is defined by the parametric equations x=t^2/2 +1, y=4/t -1. Find the gradient of the curve when t =2.

Firstly we would differentiate each equation with respect to t to find dx/dt and dy/dt- which gives us dx/dt=t and dy/dt=-4t^-2. Once you have found these you must divide dy/dt by dx/dt (or dy/dt x dt/dx)...

The Curve, C, has equation: x^2 - 3xy - 4y^2 +64 =0 Find dy/dx in terms of x and y. [Taken from Edexcel C4 2015 Q6a]

The question asks us to find dy/dx, in terms of x and y. Here though it is not in the form of y=f(x), but a mixed form, which we will not be able to separate out. We will have to use Implicit differentiat...
