Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
x = 2cost,
t = (1/2)arccosx
y = 2sint
dy/dx = dy/dt . dt/dx
dy/dt = 2cost
dt/dx = -1/√(1 - x²)
dy/dx = -2cost/√(1 - x²)
Differentiate again to obtain d²y/dx²
d²y/dx² = 2sint/√(1 - x²) - 2xcost/(1 - x²)^(-3/2)
At t = π/4, we have
(√2)/√(1 - x²) - (√2)x(1 - x²)^(3/2)
I do not think we need to rewrite the first two numbers in the given above because they are already the simplest forms of themselves being whole numbers. However, the third number may be rewritten as 1/2 by dividing both numerator and denominator by 5 and the last one as 2/25 by dividing both numerator and denominator by 4.
2x+8=20
2x=20-8
2x=12
12/2=x
6=x
