If x and y are connected parametrically by the equations given in without eliminating the parameter, Find dy/dx.

x = a (cos θ + θ sin θ), y = a (sin θ – θ cos θ)

It is given that

x = a (cos θ + θ sin θ), y = a (sin θ – θ cos θ)


Then, we have




= a[-sinθ + θcosθ + sinθ]


= aθcosθ…………………… (1)




= a[cosθ + θsinθ - cosθ]


= aθsinθ…………………… (2)


From (1) and (2) we get,



= tanθ


Hence, the value of is tanθ
