Recap: last week we learned to work with
curves defined in the following way:
x = f (t) y = g(t)
These curves contain more information than
just the set of points (x, y) = (f (t), g(t)).
The additional information is the fact that a
curve is at a particular point (x′, y′) at a
particular value of t. Also, parametric curves
have direction.
![Page 5: MAT01B1: Calculus with parametric curves · Example: consider the curve de ned by x= f(t) = t2 y= g(t) = t3 3t (a)Show that the curve has two tangents at the point (3, 0) and nd their](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022041419/5e1e394201000a1c9952220c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Recap: sometimes we can rewrite the
equations x = f (t) and y = g(t) without
using t.
(For example: x = r cos t, y = r sin t gives
us r2 = x2 + y2.) This can sometimes make
it easier to sketch the curve.
There will also sometimes be limits on the
values of t (and hence x and y). These will
either be implicitly imposed by the domain of
f (t) and/or g(t), or explicitly stated (e.g.
0 6 t 6 2π).

Example: consider the curve defined by
x = f (t) = t2 y = g(t) = t3 − 3t
(a) Show that the curve has two tangents at
the point (3, 0) and find their equations.
(b) Find the points (x, y) on the curve where
the tangent is horizontal or vertical.
(c) Determine where the curve is concave
upward or downward.
(d) Sketch the curve.

x = f (t) = t2 y = g(t) = t3 − 3t

Example: consider the cycloid
x = r(θ − sin θ) y = r(1− cos θ)
(a) Find the tangent at the point where
θ = π/3.
(b) At what points is the tangent horizontal?
(Give (x, y) coordinates of the points.)
(c) At what points is the tangent vertical?

Vertical tangents of the cycloid
We get vertical tangents at t = k.2π (or
x = k.2πr) for all k ∈ Z. We can see this by
calculating
limθ→k.2π+
dy
dx=∞ and lim
θ→k.2π−dy
dx= −∞

Area under a parametric curve
We are used to the following situation:
A =
∫ b
a
y dx
However, now y is no longer a function of x (it is afunction of t) so we aren’t able to find theantiderivative.
We use the fact that dxdt = f ′(t) and hence
dx = f ′(t) dt. We change the x-bounds to t-boundsby solving a = f(α) and b = f(β). Finally we have
A =
∫ β
α
g(t)f ′(t) dt

y = g(t), α 6 t 6 β and f ′(t) and g′(t)
are continuous on [α, β], and C is

Surface area
Previously, if we have y = f (x) and we
rotated a piece of that function (a 6 x 6 b)
around the x-axis, we would calculate the
surface area as follows:∫ b
a
2πf (x)√
1 + [f ′(x)]2 dx
Now suppose that we rotate a parametric
curve about the x-axis.
