The parametric equations of a curve are $$\[ x=t+\ln (t+2), \quad y=(t-1) \mathrm{e}^{-2 t}, \]$$ where $$\(t>-2\)$$. Express $$\(\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}\)$$ in terms of $$\(t\)$$, simplifying your answer. ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................ ........................................................................................................................................................

Answer:

State \(\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{~d} t}=1+\frac{1}{t+2}\)
Use product rule
Obtain \(\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} t}=\mathrm{e}^{-2 t}-2(t-1) \mathrm{e}^{-2 t}\)
Use \(\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}=\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} t} \div
\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{~d} t}\)

Obtain correct answer in any simplified form,
e.g. \(\frac{(3-2 t)(t+2)}{t+3} \mathrm{e}^{-2 t}\)
