a typical question would be a setof parametric equations y(t) and x(t), asking you to find dy/dx and then the tangent/normal to the curve at a certain point (ie t = 2)

this question is a great example as we have many different aspects of a level maths workng together into one.initialy you will use use chain rule to find dy/dx = dy/du * du/dx.then you will either keep th...
