If x = a (cos t + t sin t) and y = a (sin t – t cos t), find d2y/dx2.
Given, x = a (cos t + t sin t) and y = (sin t – t cos t)
To find
we need to find out
and ![]()
So,
and ![]()
x = a (cos t + t sin t)
Differentiating with respect to t.
![]()
⇒ ![]()
⇒ ![]()
y = a (sin t – t cos t)
Differentiating with respect to t.
![]()
⇒ ![]()
∴ 
Differentiating dy/dx with respect to t

And ![]()

⇒ ![]()
∴ ![]()
