CBSE Class 12 Mathematics 2026 Main Paper 65/2/1 · Question 22 (Continuity And Differentiability)

If x=a sin³t and y=b cos³t, find dy/dx at t=π/4.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: −b/a for a≠0.
  1. Differentiate to get x′=3a sin²t cos t and y′=−3b cos²t sin t.
  2. At π/4 both sine and cosine are 1/√2, and x′ is nonzero for a≠0.
  3. The quotient y′/x′ is −b/a.
