Question

9. x=asec θ, y = b tan θ

Open in App
Solution

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

x=asecθ(1)

And,

y=btanθ(2)

Differentiate equation (2) with respect to θ.

dy dθ =b sec 2 θ

Differentiate equation (1) with respect to θ.

dx dθ =a( secθtanθ )

We know that,

dy dx = dy dθ dx dθ

Substitute the value of dy dθ and dx dθ .

dy dx = b sec 2 θ asecθtanθ dy dx = bsecθ atanθ dy dx =b× 1 cosθ × cosθ asinθ dy dx = b a cosecθ

Thus, the solution is dy dx = b a cosecθ.
