原卷通用作答要求
Answer all questions. You should use a calculator where appropriate.
You must show all necessary working clearly; no marks will be given for unsupported answers from a calculator.
Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place for angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question.
请回答所有题目。适当时应使用计算器。必须清楚展示所有必要的计算过程;仅给出计算器答案而没有过程,不予评分。除非题目另有精度要求,非精确数值答案保留 3 位有效数字,以度为单位的角度保留 1 位小数。

分别对参数求导。取比值后用二倍角公式约简,须先注明 cos2t=0;同时为零的参数点用附近切线斜率的极限处理。

Differentiating,
dtdx==2−sec2tcos2tcos2t,
and
dtdy=sin2t2cos2t.
For t=π/4,
dxdy===cos2t/cos2t2cos2t/sin2t2sintcost2cos2tcott.
At t=π/4, both parameter derivatives vanish; the tangent-gradient limit from nearby regular values is cot(π/4)=1.
