Question

If x = a cos t and y = b sin t, then find `(d^2y)/(dx^2)`.

Sum

Solution

If x = a cos t, y = b sin t

`dx/(dt)` = – a sin t

`dy/(dt)` = b cos t

`dy/dx = (dy/(dt))/(dx/(dt))`

= `(b cos t)/(-a sin t)`

= `(-b)/a cot t`

`(d^2y)/(dx^2) = b/a "cosec"^2t xx (dt)/dx`

= `b/a "cosec"^2t xx (-1)/(a sin t)`

= `-b/a^2 "cosec"^3t`.
