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 and


So, 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
