What is the derivative of #f(t) = (t^2+1 , t-e^(1-t) ) #? Calculus Parametric Functions Derivative of Parametric Functions 1 Answer turksvids Jan 3, 2018 #f'(t)= (2t, 1+e^(1-t))# Explanation: Take the derivative component-by-component: #f(t) = (t^2+1, t-e^(1-t))# #f'(t) = (d/dt(t^2+1), d/dt(t-e^(1-t)))# #= (2t, 1-e^(1-t)(-1))# (don't forget the chain rule!) #f'(t)= (2t, 1+e^(1-t))# Answer link Related questions How do you find the second derivative of a parametric function?
