解答
(a)
We are given
x=3sin3θ
and
y=1+cos2θ
Differentiate with respect to θ:
dθdx=9sin2θcosθ
and
dθdy=−2sin2θ
Using
sin2θ=2sinθcosθ
we have
dθdy=−4sinθcosθ
Therefore
dxdy=dθdxdθdy=9sin2θcosθ−4sinθcosθ
So
dxdy=−9sinθ4=−94cosecθ
Hence
k=−94
(b)
At P,
θ=6π
First find the coordinates of P.
x=3sin36π=3(21)3=83
Also,
y=1+cos3π=1+21=23
Now find the gradient:
dxdy=−94cosec6π=−94⋅2=−98
So the tangent at P is
y−23=−98(x−83)
Multiply by 18:
18y−27=−16x+6
Therefore
16x+18y−33=0
(c)
From
x=3sin3θ
we get
x2=9sin6θ
So
8x2=72sin6θ
Now
y=1+cos2θ
Using
cos2θ=1−2sin2θ
we get
y=1+1−2sin2θ
Thus
2−y=2sin2θ
Therefore
9(2−y)3=9(2sin2θ)3=72sin6θ
Hence
8x2=9(2−y)3
Also, since
−2π≤θ≤2π
we have
−1≤sinθ≤1
So
−3≤3sin3θ≤3
and hence
−3≤x≤3
Therefore
q=3
