Show that the normal at any point theta ...

Show that the normal at any point `theta` to the curve `x = a cos theta + a theta sin theta, y = a sin theta - a theta cos theta` is at a constant distance from the origin.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`(|-a|)/(sqrt(cos^2theta+sin^2theta))=a=` constant
