In Example 5 we saw that the cycloid

x=r-rsin,y=r-rcos,

has a horizontal tangent line at each odd multiple of. Show that the cycloid has a vertical tangent at each even multiple of by showing that lim2lidydxdoes not exist wherever k is an integer.

Short Answer

Expert verified

At an even multiple of , the cycloid has a vertical tangent line.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

The cycloid isx=r-rsin,y=r-rcos,

02

Simplification 

Consider the cycloid, x=r-rsin,y=r-rcos.

The objective is to prove that the cycloid has a vertical tangent at each even multiple of .

First find the derivatives of the parametric equations and equate them to zero to get the points where it is vertical or horizontal.

A vertical tangent line occurs when dxdt=0w.

To find the vertical tangent line of the cycloid the denominator is zero and the numerator is not zero.

Take the equation, x=r-rsin.

Differentiate with respect to

dxd=dd(r-rsin)dxd=ddr-rddsindxd=r-rcos

03

Further simplification

Now take the equation, y=r-rcos.

Differentiate with respect to.

dyd=dd(r-rcos)dyd=ddr-rddcosdyd=rsin

Now the derivative is, dydx=dyddxd

dydx=rsinr-rcossincedxd=r-rcos,dyd=rsindydx=rsinr(1-cos)

Then,

dydx=sin(1-cos)

Now the limit of the derivative at 2k.

lim2k*dydx=lim2ksin(1-cos)=lim2kzcossinBy using L'Hospitals=

04

Prove that the cycloid has a vertical tangent at each even multiple of π 

Now the limit of the derivative at 2k-.

For the vertical tangent line the denominator is zero.

lim2k-dydx=lim2k-sin(1-cos)=lim2k-cossinBy using L'Hospitals=-

Thus,

lim2kxdydxdoes not exists.

The cycloid has a vertical tangent line at even multiple of .

Hence Proved.
