(a)
解法一
思路

先分别对参数求导。用 dy/dx=(dy/dθ)/(dx/dθ),再将正割平方换成正切平方。

For parameters where the curve and gradient are defined,
dθdx==dθdy==2−2sec22θ−2tan22θ,6+2cos2θ−2sin2θ6−4tan2θ.
Therefore
dxdy==−2tan22θ6−4tan2θtan22θ2tan2θ−3.
This finite-gradient expression applies for 0<θ<π/4. At θ=0 the denominator vanishes, and at θ=π/4 the parametric expressions are undefined.

解法一
思路
展开
将上一问的梯度等于 −1,对 tan2θ 解二次方程。根据参数范围选根,再代入原来的参数式。

Put z=tan2θ. Setting the gradient to −1 gives
2z−3=z2+2z−3=(z−1)(z+3)=−z2,0,0.
For 0<θ<π/4, z>0, so z=1 and θ=π/8. Hence the coordinates are
x==y==28π−tan4π4π−1,68π+2ln(cos4π)43π−ln2.
