NCERT Class 12 Maths · Chapter 5 Continuity And Differentiability · Exercise 5.6 Question 4

Without eliminating parameter t (θ in the trigonometric source forms), find dy/dx for x=\(4 t\), y=\(\frac{4}{t}\).

💡 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: \(- \frac{1}{t^{2}}\) where the real parametrisation is defined and dx/dt≠0.
  1. Differentiate both coordinates: dx/dt=\(4\), dy/dt=\(- \frac{4}{t^{2}}\).
  2. Divide the two rates: dy/dx=(dy/dt)/(dx/dt)=\(- \frac{1}{t^{2}}\).
  3. Simplify to \(- \frac{1}{t^{2}}\). This quotient requires dx/dt≠0; any cancelled zero requires a separate limiting or curve check.
