Instantaneous Frequency

Consider the chirp signal

\begin{displaymath}x(t)=\cos(2\pi(at^2+bt+\phi)).
\end{displaymath}

1.
Determine values for a, b, and $\phi$, such that the instantaneous frequency of x(t) will start at 3800 Hz and end at 800 Hz over the time interval $0\leq t \leq 3$ seconds.
2.
Plot the instaneous frequency versus time over the interval $0\leq t \leq 3$ seconds.
