The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the coordinates of the points on the curve defined by \( x = a(\theta + \sin \theta) \) and \( y = a(1 - \cos \theta) \) where the tangent is inclined at an angle of \( \frac{\pi}{4} \) to the x-axis, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Slope Condition**: The slope of the tangent line at the point is given by the angle \( \frac{\pi}{4} \). The tangent of this angle is: \[ \tan\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = 1 \] Therefore, the slope \( m \) of the tangent line is: \[ m = 1 \] 2. **Find the Derivative \( \frac{dy}{dx} \)**: To find the slope of the tangent line in terms of \( \theta \), we need to compute \( \frac{dy}{dx} \) using the chain rule: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\frac{dy}{d\theta}}{\frac{dx}{d\theta}} \] 3. **Calculate \( \frac{dx}{d\theta} \)**: Differentiate \( x \) with respect to \( \theta \): \[ x = a(\theta + \sin \theta) \implies \frac{dx}{d\theta} = a(1 + \cos \theta) \] 4. **Calculate \( \frac{dy}{d\theta} \)**: Differentiate \( y \) with respect to \( \theta \): \[ y = a(1 - \cos \theta) \implies \frac{dy}{d\theta} = a \sin \theta \] 5. **Substitute into the Derivative**: Now substitute \( \frac{dy}{d\theta} \) and \( \frac{dx}{d\theta} \) into the derivative: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{a \sin \theta}{a(1 + \cos \theta)} = \frac{\sin \theta}{1 + \cos \theta} \] 6. **Set the Derivative Equal to 1**: Since we want the slope to be 1: \[ \frac{\sin \theta}{1 + \cos \theta} = 1 \] 7. **Solve for \( \theta \)**: Cross-multiplying gives: \[ \sin \theta = 1 + \cos \theta \] Rearranging leads to: \[ \sin \theta - \cos \theta = 1 \] Dividing both sides by \( \sqrt{2} \): \[ \frac{\sin \theta}{\sqrt{2}} - \frac{\cos \theta}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \] This can be rewritten using the sine subtraction formula: \[ \sin\left(\theta - \frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \] Thus, we find: \[ \theta - \frac{\pi}{4} = \frac{\pi}{4} \implies \theta = \frac{\pi}{2} \] 8. **Find the Coordinates**: Substitute \( \theta = \frac{\pi}{2} \) back into the equations for \( x \) and \( y \): \[ x = a\left(\frac{\pi}{2} + \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)\right) = a\left(\frac{\pi}{2} + 1\right) \] \[ y = a\left(1 - \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)\right) = a(1 - 0) = a \] Therefore, the coordinates are: \[ (x, y) = \left(a\left(\frac{\pi}{2} + 1\right), a\right) \] ### Final Answer: The coordinates of the points on the curve where the tangent is inclined at an angle \( \frac{\pi}{4} \) to the x-axis are: \[ \left(a\left(\frac{\pi}{2} + 1\right), a\right) \] This corresponds to option (C): \( (a(\frac{\pi}{2} + 1), a) \).
