The diagram shows the curve with parametric equations $$\[ x=\ln (2 t+3), \quad y=\frac{2 t-3}{2 t+3} . \]$$ The curve crosses the $$\(y\)$$-axis at the point $$\(A\)$$ and the $$\(x\)$$-axis at the point $$\(B\)$$. Show that $$\(\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}=\frac{6}{2 t+3}\)$$. .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... ....................................................................................................................................................

Answer:

Obtain \(\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{~d} t}=\frac{2}{2 t+3}\)
Use quotient rule, or equivalent, to find \(\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} t}\)
Obtain \(\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} t}=\frac{2(2 t+3)-2(2 t-3)}{(2 t+3)^{2}}\)
Divide to confirm \(\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}=\frac{6}{2 t+3}\)
