(a)
解法一

先做参数微分。约去 cos2t 的计算只适用于它非零处;指定中点处的导数可由消参后的同一曲线确定。

Differentiating with respect to t,
dtdx=dtdy===6cos2t,sec2t−cosec2tsin2tcos2tsin2t−cos2t−sin22t4cos2t.
For t=π/4,
dxdy=6cos2tsin22t−4cos2t=−3sin22t2.
At t=π/4, both parameter derivatives are zero, so their ratio cannot be evaluated directly. However,
y=sintcost1=sin2t2,x=3sin2t,
giving y=6/x. This curve has derivative −6/x2, which at x=3 is −2/3, agreeing with the displayed expression. Thus it also gives the tangent at that endpoint of the traced arc.

直接消参最简洁,整个轨迹满足 xy=6,求导后再换回参数即可。
答题过程

Since
tant+cott=sintcostsin2t+cos2t=sin2t2,
and x=3sin2t, we have
y=x6.
Therefore
dxdy=−x26=−9sin22t6=−3sin22t2.
This description also determines the one-sided tangent to the traced arc at t=π/4.

思路

在指定参数处使用(a)由曲线方程确定的切线斜率,再取负倒数求法线。
答题过程

At t=π/4, the point is (3,2) and the tangent gradient is −2/3.
Hence the normal gradient is 3/2, giving
y−2=23(x−3).
Rearranging into the requested integer-coefficient form,
2y−3x+5=0.
