Marks: +1, -0
Find the equation of tangent to the curve x = sin 3t, y = cos 2t, at t = π4
Solution:  
x = sin3t ⇒ dxdt = 3 cos 3t
x(t=π4) = sin 3 (π4) = 12
y = cos 2t
dydt = - 2 sin 2t
y(t=π4) = cos 2t = cos 2 (π4) = 0
dydx = dydt.dtdx
= - 2 sin 2t 13cps3t
= - 23(sin2tcos3t)
dydx(t=π4) = 23sin(2×π4)cos(3×π4)
= 23sinπ2cos3π4
= - 23|112| = 223
Therefore, the equation of the tangent at the point (12,0) is
y - 0 = 223(x12)
y = 223x23
3y - 2 2x + 2 = 0
