1. Find dy/dx and d2y/dx2. For which values of t is the curve concave upward?
x=t3 + 1, y = t2 - t
2. Find the points on the curve where the tangent is horizontal or vertical.
x = t3 - 3t, y = t3 - 3t2
3. Find the equation of the tangents to the curve
x = 3t2 + 1, y = 2t3 + 1 , that pass through the point (4, 3).
4. Find the area enclosed by the x-axis and the curve
x = 1 + et, y = t - t2.
5. Find the length of the loop of the curve
x = 3t - t3, y = 3t2.
6. Sketch the curve and find the area that it encloses.
r = 4 + 3sinθ
7. Find the area of the region that lies the curve r = 2 + sinθ and outside the curve r = 3sinθ.
8. Find the area of the region that lies inside both curves.
r = 1 + cosθ, r = 1 - cosθ
9. Find the exact length of the polar curve.
r = 2(1 + cosθ)
