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

Find dy/dx for y=12(1−cos t), x=10(t−sin t), −π/2<t<π/2.

💡 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: 6sin t/[5(1−cos t)] for t≠0; no finite derivative at t=0.
  1. The parameter derivatives are yₜ=12sin t and xₜ=10(1−cos t).
  2. For t≠0, divide: dy/dx=6sin t/[5(1−cos t)].
  3. At 0, the quotient is not defined. Expansions x∼(5/3)t³, y∼6t² give a vertical cusp; the slope diverges with opposite signs.
