Question

If x and y are connected parametrically by the equation, without eliminating the parameter, find `dy/dx.`

`x = (sin^3t)/sqrt(cos 2t),  y  = (cos^3t)/sqrt(cos 2t)`

Answer 1

Here x = `(sin^3t)/(sqrtcos 2t)`

`y = (cos^3 t)/ (sqrtcos 2t)`

Differentiating (1) & (2) w.r.t.t, we get,

`dx/dt = (sqrtcos2t d/dt  sin^3 t - sin ^3 t d/dt (sqrt cos2t))/(cos2t)`

 `= ((sqrt cos2t) 3 sin^2 t cos t - sin^3 t. 1/(2 sqrtcos2t) . (-sin 2t).2)/`

`= (sqrt cos 2t  3 sin^2 t cos t + (sin^3 t sin 2t)/(sqrtcos2t))/(cos 2t)`

`= (3 cos 2t sin^2 t cos t + sin^3 t sin 2t)/ ((cos 2t)3//2)`

`dy/dt = (sqrt cos 2t  d/dt  cos^3  t - cos^3 t  d/dt  sqrtcos2t)/(cos 2t)`

`= (sqrtcos2t.3 cos^2 t (- sint) - cos^3 t. 1/(2sqrtcos 2t).(-sin 2t).2)/(cos 2t)`

`= (-3 cos^2 t. sin t. sqrt cos2t + (cos^3 t sin 2t)/(sqrtcos2t))/(cos2t)`

`= (cos^3 t sin 2t - 3 cos^2 t. sin t cos 2t)/((cos2t)3//2)`

`dy/dx = (dy/dt)/(dx/dt) = (cos^3 t sin 2t - 3 cos^2 t . sin t cos 2t)/(3 cos2t sin^2 t cos t + sin^3 t sin 2t)`
