6. x=a(9-sin θ), y = a (1+cos θ)

Open in App
Solution

It is given that x and y are parametrically connected by the equations,

x=a( θsinθ )(1)

And,

y=a( 1+cosθ )(2)

Differentiate equation (2) with respect to θ.

dy dθ = d[ a( 1+cosθ ) ] dθ dy dθ =a( d( 1 ) dθ + d( cosθ ) dθ ) dy dθ =a( 0sinθ ) dy dθ =asinθ

Differentiate equation (1) with respect to θ.

dx dθ =a( θsinθ ) dx dθ = d( aθ ) dθ d( asinθ ) dθ dx dθ =aacosθ dx dθ =a( 1cosθ )

We know that,

dy dx = dy dθ dx dθ

Substitute the value of dy dθ and dx dθ .

dy dx = asinθ a( 1cosθ ) dy dx = sinθ ( 1cosθ ) dy dx = 2sin θ 2 cos θ 2 2 sin 2 θ 2 dy dx =cot θ 2

Thus, the solution is dy dx =cot θ 2 .
