x = sin(lnt) and y=cos(lnt)

x^2+y^2 = sin^2(lnt)+cos^2(lnt) = 1
The equation satisfies the above two parametric equations is x^2+y^2=1.

Differentiating with respect to x , we get
2x+2y\frac{dy}{dx}=0.
\Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{-x}{y}............(1)
Again differentiating equation (1) with respect to x, we get

\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}=\frac{-1-(\frac{dy}{dx})^2}{y} = \frac{-1-(\frac{-x}{y})^2}{y}
\therefore \frac{d^2y}{dx^2}= = \frac{-(y^2+x^2)}{y^3} = \frac{-1}{y^3} (\because \,\,x^2+y^2=1)
