Find dy/dx and d2y/dx2? x = 5 sint, y = 6 cost, 0 < t < 2π
Solution:
Given: x = 5 sint and y = 6 cost
By differentiation of parametric functions, we get dy/dx = dy/ dt . dt/dx
dx/dt = 5 cost
y = 6 cost
By differentiation
dy/dt = -6 sint
We know that
dy/dx = dy/dt/ × dx/dt
Substituting the values
dy/dx = -6 sint/ 5 cost
dy/dx = 6/5 tan t
Again by differentiation
d2y/dx2 =[d/t(dy/dx)]. dt/dx
So we get,
d2y/dx2 = [6/5 sec2t]/ 5 cost
= (6/25)sec3t
Therefore, dy/dx = 6/5 tan t and d2y/dx2 = (6/25)sec3t
Find dy/dx and d2y/dx2 ? x = 5 sint, y = 6 cost, 0 < t < 2π
Summary:
If x = 2 sint, y = 3 cost, 0 < t < 2π, dy/dx = 6/5 tan t and d2y/dx2 = (6/25)sec3t
