    The document finds the angle between the radius vector and the tangent line for the curve r^2 = a^2 sin^2θ. It takes the log of both sides of the equation to differentiate with respect to θ, resulting in an expression for the angle Φ between the radius vector and tangent line of Φ = 2θ. It then calculates that at θ = π/12, Φ = π/6. It further determines that the slope of the tangent line at θ = π/12 is tan(π/4) = 1, or 45 degrees.

    1. Find the angle between the radius vector and the tangent for the curve r2 = a2 sin2.

    Also find the slope of the tangent at =/12 Solution: Given equation is r2 = a2 sin2 Taking log on both sides, we get 2logr=2loga+logsin2 Differentiating with respect to , we get 2/r dr/d = 0 + (1/sin2) 2cos2 i.e. 2/r dr/d = 0 + (2cos2/sin2) 1/r dr/d = cos2/sin2 cot= cot2 = 2 i.e. Also, At =/12, =2/12 =/6 =+

    =/12 + /6
    =/4

    slope of the tangent, tan=/4 =tanl/4
