If x = a (cos t + t sin t) and y = a (sin t – t cos t), find d2y/dx2.
Given, x = a (cos t + t sin t) and y = (sin t – t cos t)
To find  we need to find out
 we need to find out  and
and 
So,  and
 and 
x = a (cos t + t sin t)
Differentiating with respect to t.

⇒ 
⇒ 
y = a (sin t – t cos t)
Differentiating with respect to t.

⇒ 
∴ 
Differentiating dy/dx with respect to t

And 

⇒ 
∴
