You are given the parametric equations x=2cos(θ),y=sin(2θ). (a) List all of the points (x,y) where the tangent line is horizonta
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

The solutions listed from the smallest to the greatest are:

x:  -\sqrt{2}   -\sqrt{2}  \sqrt{2}  \sqrt{2}

y:      -1         1     -1     1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the tangent line at a point of the curve is:

m = \frac{\frac{dy}{dt} }{\frac{dx}{dt} }

m = -\frac{\cos 2\theta}{\sin \theta}

The tangent line is horizontal when m = 0. Then:

\cos 2\theta = 0

2\theta = \cos^{-1}0

\theta = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \cos^{-1} 0

\theta = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(\frac{\pi}{2}+i\cdot \pi \right), for all i \in \mathbb{N}_{O}

\theta = \frac{\pi}{4} + i\cdot \frac{\pi}{2}, for all i \in \mathbb{N}_{O}

The first four solutions are:

x:   \sqrt{2}   -\sqrt{2}  -\sqrt{2}  \sqrt{2}

y:     1        -1        1     -1

The solutions listed from the smallest to the greatest are:

x:  -\sqrt{2}   -\sqrt{2}  \sqrt{2}  \sqrt{2}

y:      -1         1     -1     1
