If `x=a (theta-sintheta), y=a (1+costheta), `find `(d^2 y)/(dx^2)`

Answer» `y = a+acostheta`
`=>dy/(d theta) = - asin theta`
`x = atheta - asintheta`
`=>dy/(d theta) = a - acostheta = a( 1- costheta)`
`:. dy/dx = (dy/(d theta))/(dx/(d theta)) = (-asin theta)/(a(1-costheta))`
`=>dy/dx = -sintheta/(1-costheta)**(1+costheta)/(1+costheta)`
`=>dy/dx = -(sintheta (1+costheta))/(1-cos^2theta)`
`=>dy/dx = -(sintheta (1+costheta))/(sin^2theta)`
`=>dy/dx = -cosec theta - cottheta `
Differentiating both sides w.r.t. `theta`,
`=>d/(d theta) (dy/dx) = cosecthetacottheta + cosec^2theta`
`=>d/(d theta) (dy/dx) = cosectheta(cottheta + cosectheta)`
`=>(d^2y)/dx^2 = cosectheta(cottheta + cosectheta)**(d theta)/dx`
`=>(d^2y)/dx^2 = (cosectheta(cottheta + cosectheta))/(a(1-costheta))`
`=>(d^2y)/dx^2 = (1/sintheta((1+costheta)/sintheta))/(a(1-costheta))`
`=>(d^2y)/dx^2 = (1+costheta)/(asin^2theta(1-costheta))`
`=>(d^2y)/dx^2 =(1+costheta)/(asin^2theta(1-costheta))**(1-costheta)/(1-costheta)`
`=>(d^2y)/dx^2 =sin^2theta/((asin^2theta)(1-costheta)^2)`
`=>(d^2y)/dx^2 = 1/(a(1-costheta)^2)`
As `y = a(1+costheta) => costheta = y/a-1`
Putting this value in our equation,
`=>(d^2y)/dx^2 = 1/(a(1-(y/a-1))^2)`
`=>(d^2y)/dx^2 = a/(2a-y)^2`
