Find the equations of the tangent and the normal to the curve

x = 1-costheta , y = theta -sintegrate heta theta = pi /4

Given: x = 1 – cos θ and y = θ – sin θ


To find: equations of the tangent and the normal to the curve


Formula used:


The equation of tangent is:



The equation of normal is:



Therefore,


x = 1 – cos θ and y = θ – sin θ


Differentiating both with respect to θ:





Now,









At, :




The equation of tangent is:












The equation of normal is:
