Explain parameter elimination for complex curves v2
Since I did not get sufficient asnwer I will better ask once again.
I'm reading Stewart's Calculus and in "Calculus with Parametric Curves" he shows the formula which comes from the Chain rule:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\frac{dy}{dt}}{\frac{dx}{dt}}$
But what I don't understand is that for some complex curves for example:
$x = 2\sin\left(1+3t\right), y = 2t^{3}$
If I try to retreive y(x) I will get
$y\ =\ 2\left(\frac{\arcsin\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)-1}{3}\right)^{3}$
Which will represent only small part of the parametric curve(graph).
And only for some small range of t $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\frac{dy}{dt}}{\frac{dx}{dt}}$. For example when t = 1, $y(x)$ is not defined.
If we take a look into graph of parametric equation it has complex shape and many negative derivatives(negative angles of tangent lines). But y(x) is just a small part of the graph of parametric equation, and it doesn’t have those negative derivatives(angles of tangent lines), since it grows from left to right.
As far as I understand when I represent t as function of x t(x) = $\frac{\arcsin\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)-1}{3}$, the domain of t(x) is [-2;2] and the range is [-pi/6-1/3;pi/6-1/3], and when I substitue t into y(t) to get y(x) this y(x) won't cover those values of t which are out of range, isn't it?
Additionally added the screenshot, on which we can see both parametric equation and y(x). For example when t = 1, derivative of parametric equation is negative (at point (~-1.51,2)). But f(x) doesn not even cover this point, how can it calculate the same derivative value, as all it's deriavtives going to be non-negative?

Mathe, ok, I like that, so did I understand correctly that each complex curve which doesn't pass vertical line test will have multiple y(x), describing it?
-
Yes, if a curve doesn't pass the vertical line, it means it has to be described by multiple y(x) expressions.

And please let me know if such price is ok for such question, or I have to pay more for the future questions?

Since this is a follow up question, a $5 tip would be ok. Separate questions would warrant a different bounty or higher tips.
