Answer

$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2t+1}{ t\cos t + \sin t}$

Work Step by Step

We will need to use the following formula: $$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\frac{dy}{dt}}{\frac{dx}{dt}}$$ This formula lets us calculate ${\frac{dy}{dt}}$ and ${\frac{dx}{dt}}$ individually, then take their quotient to obtain $\frac{dy}{dx}$. $\frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(t^2+t) = 2t+1$ $\frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(t\sin t) = t\cos t + \sin t$ $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2t+1}{ t\cos t + \sin t}$
