    If\[x={{\cos }^{3}}\theta \]and\[y={{\sin }^{3}}\theta ,\]then\[1+{{\left( \frac{dy}{dx} \right)}^{2}}\]is equal to:

    A)  \[ta{{n}^{2}}\theta \]        

    B)                        \[co{{t}^{2}}\theta \]

    C)  \[se{{c}^{2}}\theta \]                   

    D)         \[cose{{c}^{2}}\theta \]

    E)  \[se{{c}^{3}}\theta \]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[x={{\cos }^{3}}\theta ,y={{\sin }^{3}}\theta \] On differentiating w.r.t. \[\theta \]respectively \[\frac{dx}{d\theta }=-3{{\cos }^{2}}\theta \sin \theta \] and        \[\frac{dy}{d\theta }=3{{\sin }^{2}}\theta \cos \theta \] Now,   \[\frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{3{{\sin }^{2}}\theta \cos \theta }{3{{\cos }^{2}}\theta \sin \theta }=-\tan \theta \] \[\therefore \]  \[1+{{\left( \frac{dy}{dx} \right)}^{2}}=1+{{\tan }^{2}}\theta ={{\sec }^{2}}\theta \]
