If $x=a\, sin^3t$ and $y=acos^3t,$ then $\frac{dy}{dx}$ is equal to
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → $-\cot t$
$x=a\sin^3t$ and $y=a\cos^3t$
$\frac{dx}{dt}=3a\sin^2t\cos t$
$\frac{dy}{dt}=-a\cos^2t\sin t$
so $\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{dy/dt}{dx/dt}=-\cot t$
