A Curve has parametric equation x=2sin(t), y= 1+cos(2t), -pi/2<=t<=pi/2. a) Find dy/dx when t=pi/3. b) Find the Cartesian equation for the curve in form y=f(x), -k<=x<=k. c) Find the range of f(x)

x=2sin(t), y=1+cos(2t) a) By chain rule, dy/dx = (dy/dt)/(dx/dt) dy/dt = -2sin(2t), dx/dt= 2cos(t) dy/dx= -sin(2t)/cos(t) dy/dx=-2sin(t)cos(t)/cos(t) dy/dx=-2sin(t) when t = pi/3, dy/dx= -sqrt(3) b) dy/dx = ...
