Differentiate the parametric equations:
dθdx=9sin2θcosθ
and
dθdy==−2sin2θ−4sinθcosθ.
For a parametric curve, the gradient is the y-derivative divided by the x-derivative. Hence
dxdy===9sin2θcosθ−4sinθcosθ−9sinθ4−94cosecθ.
Thus, in the required form,
k=−94.

思路

先由参数方程证明消参关系,再隐式求导并代回参数。不直接借用 (c) 中尚待证明的给定式。
答题过程

First derive the Cartesian relation from the parametric equations. Using cos2θ=1−2sin2θ,
2−y=2sin2θ.
Also,
8x2=8(3sin3θ)2=72sin6θ
and
9(2−y)3=9(2sin2θ)3=72sin6θ.
Therefore
8x2=9(2−y)3.
Differentiate implicitly with respect to x:
16x=−27(2−y)2dxdy.
Thus
dxdy=−27(2−y)216x.
Substitute x=3sin3θ and 2−y=2sin2θ. The numerator and denominator simplify to
16x=48sin3θ
and
27(2−y)2=108sin4θ.
Hence
dxdy==−108sin4θ48sin3θ−94cosecθ.
Therefore
k=−94.

At P,
θ=6π
First find the coordinates of P.
x==3(21)383.
Also,
y=1+cos3π=1+21=23
Now find the gradient:
dxdy==−94×2−98.
So the tangent at P is
y−23=−98(x−83)
Multiply by 18:
18y−27=−16x+6
Therefore
16x+18y−33=0

Let
s=3x/3.
From x=3sin3θ, s=sinθ. Therefore
y==1+cos2θ2−2s2.
So 2−y=2s2. Cubing gives
(2−y)3=8s6.
Since s3=x/3, we have s6=x2/9. Hence
(2−y)3=98x2,
which rearranges to
8x2=9(2−y)3.
For −π/2≤θ≤π/2, sinθ takes every value from −1 to 1. Thus x=3sin3θ takes every value from −3 to 3, giving
−3≤x≤3,q=3.

From
x=3sin3θ
we get
x2=9sin6θ
So
8x2=72sin6θ
Now
y=1+cos2θ
Using
cos2θ=1−2sin2θ
we get
y=1+1−2sin2θ
Thus
2−y=2sin2θ
Therefore
9(2−y)3==9(2sin2θ)372sin6θ.
Hence
8x2=9(2−y)3
Also, since
−2π≤θ≤2π
we have
−1≤sinθ≤1
So
−3≤3sin3θ≤3
and hence
−3≤x≤3
Therefore
q=3
