The correct Answer is:
To find the angle made by the tangent to the curve defined by the equations \( x = a(t + \sin t \cos t) \) and \( y = a(1 + \sin t)^2 \) with the x-axis, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Differentiate the Parametric Equations We need to find the derivatives \( \frac{dx}{dt} \) and \( \frac{dy}{dt} \). 1. **Differentiate \( x \)**: \[ x = a(t + \sin t \cos t) \] Using the product rule on \( \sin t \cos t \): \[ \frac{dx}{dt} = a\left(1 + \frac{d}{dt}(\sin t \cos t)\right) = a\left(1 + \cos^2 t - \sin^2 t\right) = a(1 + \cos 2t) \] 2. **Differentiate \( y \)**: \[ y = a(1 + \sin t)^2 \] Using the chain rule: \[ \frac{dy}{dt} = a \cdot 2(1 + \sin t) \cdot \cos t = 2a(1 + \sin t)\cos t \] ### Step 2: Find the Slope of the Tangent The slope of the tangent line at any point on the curve is given by: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{dy/dt}{dx/dt} \] Substituting the derivatives we found: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2a(1 + \sin t)\cos t}{a(1 + \cos 2t)} \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2(1 + \sin t)\cos t}{1 + \cos 2t} \] ### Step 3: Relate the Slope to the Angle The angle \( \theta \) that the tangent makes with the x-axis can be found using: \[ \tan \theta = \frac{dy}{dx} \] Thus: \[ \tan \theta = \frac{2(1 + \sin t)\cos t}{1 + \cos 2t} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the Expression Using the double angle identity \( \cos 2t = 1 - 2\sin^2 t \): \[ 1 + \cos 2t = 2\cos^2 t \] So we can rewrite: \[ \tan \theta = \frac{2(1 + \sin t)\cos t}{2\cos^2 t} = \frac{(1 + \sin t)}{\cos t} \] ### Step 5: Find the Angle To find \( \theta \): \[ \tan \theta = \frac{1 + \sin t}{\cos t} \] This can be expressed as: \[ \tan \theta = \tan\left(\frac{\pi}{4} + \frac{t}{2}\right) \] Thus, we can conclude: \[ \theta = \frac{\pi}{4} + \frac{t}{2} \] ### Final Answer The angle made by the tangent to the curve with the x-axis is: \[ \theta = \frac{\pi}{4} + \frac{t}{2} \]
