Answer

$y=-x+2 \sqrt 2$ and $-\sqrt 2$

Work Step by Step

Here, $x'=-2 \sin t; y'=2 \cos t$ and $\dfrac{dy}{dx}=-\cot t$ Now, at $t=\dfrac{\pi}{4}$ we have $x=\sqrt 2$ and $y=\sqrt 2 $ $\dfrac{dy}{dx}=-\cot \dfrac{\pi}{4}=-1$ Now, $y-\sqrt 2=(-1) (x-\sqrt 2) \implies y=-x+2 \sqrt 2$ $\dfrac{d^2y}{dx^2}=\dfrac{\dfrac{dy'}{dt}}{\dfrac{dx}{dt}}=(-\dfrac{1}{2})\csc^3 t$ Now, at $t=\dfrac{\pi}{4}$ $\dfrac{d^2y}{dx^2}=(-\dfrac{1}{2})\csc^3 (\dfrac{\pi}{4})$ or, $(-\dfrac{1}{2})\csc^3 (\dfrac{\pi}{4})=\dfrac{-1}{2\sin^3 (\dfrac{\pi}{4})}=\dfrac{-1}{2(\dfrac{\sqrt 2}{2})^3}$ Thus, $\dfrac{d^2y}{dx^2}=-\sqrt 2$ Hence, $y=-x+2 \sqrt 2$ and $-\sqrt 2$
