Given a parametric curve where our function is defined by two equations, one for x and one for y, and both of them in terms of a parameter t, x=f(t) and y=g(t), we calculate the derivative of that parametric curve using a specific formula for the parametric derivative.
Read MoreTo find the second derivative of a parametric curve, we need to find its first derivative dy/dx first, and then plug it into the formula for the second derivative of a parametric curve. The d/dt is the formula is notation that tells us to take the derivative of dy/dx with respect to t.
