the parametric equations of a curve are x=cos@ ,y=1+sin2@.find dy/dx and d2y/dx2 at @=π/6.find also the equation of the curve as relationship between x and y.

dx/d@ = -sin@
dy/d@ = 2cos2@
d@/dx = -1/sin@

dy/dx = dy/d@ x d@/dx
= -2cos2@/sin@

dy/dx can also be written as 2(1- 2x2)/√(1-x2)

d2y/dx2 = {2.-4x.√(1-x2) + 2.(1-2x2).0.5.(1-x2)-1/2.2x}/(1-x2)

= 2x(2x2-3)/(1-x2)3/2

y = 1+sin2@
=1+2cos@√(1-cos2@)
=1+2x√(1-x2)

Alternatively to get d2y/dx2

d2y/dx2 = d/dx{dy/d@ x d@/dx}
= d@/dx x d/d@{dy/d@ x d@/dx}
=-1/sin@ x d/d@{-2cos2@/sin@}
= - {2cos2@cos@ + 4sin@sin2@}/sin3x
= (4cos3@ - 6cos@)/sin3x

=2x(2x2 - 3)/(1-x2)3/2
