Please help with the Algebra in finding the dervitives of these two parametric eqns
5) x = e^√t y= t - ln(tē) Correct Answer : 2√t(1-(2/t))/(e^√t)
8) x = 2sin2t y = 2 sint Correct Answer: cost/2cos2t *note I see the trig identitiy sin2t = 2cos*sin but I don't see how it helps
I get the concept that you have to put the derivitive of y over x to get the parametric derivitive but I just can't get the alrebra to work.

Hello, skinsdomination09!
The algebra is not hard.
I wish you had shown your work.
 & \Rightarrow & \frac{dy}{dt} &=& 1 - \frac{2}{t} \\ x &=& e^{t^{\frac{1}{2}}} & \Rightarrow & \frac{dx}{dt} &=& e^{t^{\frac{1}{2}}}\!\cdot\!\frac{1}{2}t^{-\frac{1}{2}} \end{Bmatrix})
}{e^{\sqrt{t}}} )
We have: . ![\begin{Bmatrix}y &=& 2\sin t & \Rightarrow& \frac{dy}{dt} &=& 2\cos t \\ \\[-3mm] x &=& 2\sin2t & \Rightarrow & \frac{dx}{dt} &=& 4\cos2t \end{Bmatrix}](http://latex.codecogs.com/png.latex?\begin{Bmatrix}y &=& 2\sin t & \Rightarrow& \frac{dy}{dt} &=& 2\cos t \\ \\[-3mm] x &=& 2\sin2t & \Rightarrow & \frac{dx}{dt} &=& 4\cos2t \end{Bmatrix})
Therefore: .
