NCERT Class 12 Maths · Chapter 5 Continuity And Differentiability · Exercise 5.6 Question 10

Without eliminating parameter t (θ in the trigonometric source forms), find dy/dx for x=\(a \left(t \sin{\left(t \right)} + \cos{\left(t \right)}\right)\), y=\(a \left(- t \cos{\left(t \right)} + \sin{\left(t \right)}\right)\).

💡 Concept Hints

  1. Identify the domain and the inner and outer functions, or the relevant one-sided limits.
  2. Apply the appropriate differentiation or limit rule, keep all chain factors, and check exceptional points.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: \(\tan{\left(t \right)}\) where the real parametrisation is defined and dx/dt≠0.
  1. Differentiate both coordinates: dx/dt=\(a t \cos{\left(t \right)}\), dy/dt=\(a t \sin{\left(t \right)}\).
  2. Divide the two rates: dy/dx=(dy/dt)/(dx/dt)=\(\frac{\sin{\left(t \right)}}{\cos{\left(t \right)}}\).
  3. Simplify to \(\tan{\left(t \right)}\). This quotient requires dx/dt≠0; any cancelled zero requires a separate limiting or curve check.
