The motion of a point in the plane is given by x=t2+tx=t^{2}+t and y=t3−3ty=t^{3}-3t. a. (i) Obtain the expression for dydx\dfrac{dy}{dx} in terms of tt. b. (ii) Find all value(s) of tt for which the tangent is horizontal. c. (iii) For each point found in part (ii), write the equation of the normal to the curve.
