Application of Differentiation

Conversion of Parametric Equations into Cartesian Form

When , make the subject, and sub the equations into each other

Parametric Differentiation

Tangent and Normal

Gradient of tangent = Gradient of normal = ( )

Maxima and Minima

1. You need to declare a new variable (e.g. ) for the equation you want to solve. 2. Eliminate one variable, by subbing in a known equation 3. Differentiate the new variable and let 4. Sub be to find . into the new variable to solve the question.
