x = a sin3t, y = a cos3t
dy / dt = -3a cos2t sint
dx / dt = 3a sin2tt cost
dy / dx = (dy/dt) / (dx/dt)
= −cot t
dx / dy = tan t
- Eq. of tangent at point t –
y – acos3t = – cot t (x – asin3t), which simplifies to –
x + y tant – a sint = 0
Length of OT =
=
- Eq. of normal at point t –
y – acos3t = tan t (x – asin3t), which simplifies to –
x sint – y cost + a cos2t = 0
Lenght of ON =
=
Therefore, 4OT2 + ON2 = a2 (sin22t + cos22t)
= a2
