Derivative Property [Multiplied Constant]: $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx} [cf(x)] = c \cdot f'(x)$

Derivative Property [Addition/Subtraction]: $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[f(x) + g(x)] = \frac{d}{dx}[f(x)] + \frac{d}{dx}[g(x)]$

Basic Power Rule:

f(x) = cxⁿ
f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Derivative Rule [Quotient Rule]: $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx} [\frac{f(x)}{g(x)} ]=\frac{g(x)f'(x)-g'(x)f(x)}{g^2(x)}$

Parametric Differentiation: $\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\frac{dy}{dt}}{\frac{dx}{dt}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

$\displaystyle x = 2t - \frac{1}{t}$

$\displaystyle y = t + \frac{4}{t}$

Step 2: Find Derivative

[x] Differentiate [Basic Power Rule and Quotient Rule]: $\displaystyle \frac{dx}{dt} = 2 + \frac{1}{t^2}$
[y] Differentiate [Basic Power Rule and Quotient Rule]: $\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dt} = 1 - \frac{4}{t^2}$
Substitute in variables [Parametric Derivative]: $\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1 - \frac{4}{t^2}}{2 + \frac{1}{t^2}}$
[Parametric Derivative] Simplify: $\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{t^2 - 4}{2t^2 + 1}$
[Parametric Derivative] Polynomial Long Division: $\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{2} - \frac{7}{2(2t^2 - 1)}$
[Parametric Derivative] Factor: $\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{2} \bigg( 1 - \frac{9}{2t^2 + 1} \bigg)$

Here we see that if we increase our values for t, our derivative would get closer and closer to 0.5 but never actually reaching it. Another way to approach it is to take the limit of the derivative as t approaches to infinity. Hence $\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} < \frac{1}{2}$ .
