(a)
Answer to Problem 23E
The required points are
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The parametric equations:
Calculation:
The parametric equations are
Differentiate the above equations with respect to t .
And,
Now,
Also,
To find the point at which the tangent line to the curve is vertical, use the expression
So,
At
And, at
Hence, the required points are
