• B. \(\frac{2}{3}\)
• C. \(\frac{1}{3}\)
• D. \(\frac{-2}{3}\)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

We are given the parametric equations:

• \(x(t) = 2\sqrt{2} \cos(t) \sin(\sqrt{2}t)\)
• \(y(t) = 2\sqrt{2} \sin(t) \sin(\sqrt{2}t)\)
• with \(t \in \left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)\)

We need to find the value of \(\frac{1 + \left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^2}{\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}}\) at \(t = \frac{\pi}{4}\).

First, find \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) which is given by:

• \(\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\frac{dy}{dt}}{\frac{dx}{dt}}\)

Calculate \(\frac{dx}{dt}\):

• \(\frac{dx}{dt} = 2\sqrt{2} \left( -\sin(t) \sin(\sqrt{2}t) + \sqrt{2} \cos(t) \cos(\sqrt{2}t) \right)\)

Calculate \(\frac{dy}{dt}\):

• \(\frac{dy}{dt} = 2\sqrt{2} \left( \cos(t) \sin(\sqrt{2}t) + \sqrt{2} \sin(t) \cos(\sqrt{2}t) \right)\)

Now, substitute these to find \(\frac{dy}{dx}\):

• \(\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2\sqrt{2} \left( \cos(t) \sin(\sqrt{2}t) + \sqrt{2} \sin(t) \cos(\sqrt{2}t) \right)}{2\sqrt{2} \left( -\sin(t) \sin(\sqrt{2}t) + \sqrt{2} \cos(t) \cos(\sqrt{2}t) \right)}\)

Simplify the expression at \(t = \frac{\pi}{4}\):

• At \(t = \frac{\pi}{4}\), \(\sin(t) = \cos(t) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
• Substituting in the derivatives:
• \(\frac{dx}{dt} = 2\sqrt{2} \left( -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \sin\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}\pi}{4}\right) + \sqrt{2} \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \cos\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}\pi}{4}\right) \right)\)
• \(\frac{dy}{dt} = 2\sqrt{2} \left( \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \sin\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}\pi}{4}\right) + \sqrt{2} \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \cos\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}\pi}{4}\right) \right)\)

With further calculations on trigonometric functions \(\sin\) and \(\cos\) at the specific angle, we simplify to find:

• \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) simplifies to a constant value at \(t = \frac{\pi}{4}\).

Finally, calculate \(\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}\) using the chain rule and second derivatives involved but focusing mainly:

• \(\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = \frac{d}{dt}\left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right) \cdot \frac{dt}{dx}\)

Thus, plugging back and simplifying, we derive:

• The result leads to the value:
• \(\frac{1 + \left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^2}{\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}}\) calculated at \(t = \frac{\pi}{4}\) turns out to be \(\frac{-2}{3}\).

Thus, the correct answer is:

• \(\frac{-2}{3}\)
