Solution

Given, x = a(cos t+t sin t) and y = a(sin t-t cos t)

Differtiating w.r.t. t, we get

dxdt=a[ddtcos t+(tddt(sin t)+sin t ddt(t))] dxdt=a{sin t+(t cos t+sin t.1)}=at cos tand dydt=a[ddt sin t+(t ddt cost t+cos t.1)] dydt=a{cos t(t(sin t)+cos t.1)}=at sin t dydx=dydtdxdt=at sin tat cos t=tan t i.e., dydx=tan t ..(i)Differentiating again w.r.t. x,we getd2ydx2=ddx(tan t)=ddt(tan t)dtdx=sec2tat cos t { dxdt=at cos t}=1atsec3t

The result is valid for all real t except 0 and odd multiples of π2.
