If x and y are connected parametrically by the equations x=a(cosθ+θsinθ),y=a(sinθθcosθ), without eliminating the parameter, find dydx.

Solution

Given: x=a(cosθ+θsinθ),y=a(sinθθcosθ)
Finding dydθ:
y=a(sinθθcosθ)
dydθ=a(d(sinθθcosθ)dθ)
dydθ=a(d(sinθ)dθd(θcosθ)dθ)
dydθ=a(cosθd(θcosθ)dθ)
Using product rule : (uv)=uv+vu
dydθ=a(cosθ(d(θ)dθ.cosθ+d(cosθ)dθ.θ))
dydθ=a(cosθ(cosθθsinθ)))
dydθ=a(cosθcosθ+θ sinθ)
dydθ=a(θsinθ)

Finding dxdθ:
x=a(cosθ+θsinθ)
dxdθ=ad(cosθ+θsinθ)dθ
dxdθ=a(d(cosθ)dθ+d(θsinθ)dθ)
dxdθ=a(sinθ+d(θsinθ)dθ)
Using Product Rule: (uv)=uv+vu
dxdθ=a(sinθ+d(θ)dθ.sinθ+d(sinθ)dθ.θ)
dxdθ=a(sin θ+(sinθ+cosθ.θ))
dxdθ=a(θcosθ)

Finding dydx:
Now, dydx=dydθdxdθ(i)
Substituting the value of dydθ anddxdθ in (i),
we get,
dydx=a(θsinθ)a(θcosθ)
dydx=sinθcosθ=tanθ
