Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(-\frac{b^4}{a^2 y^3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \[ \frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1 \] Let \(x=a \cos \theta, y=b \sin \theta\) \[ \begin{aligned} \therefore \quad \frac{d x}{d \theta} & =-a \sin \theta, \frac{d y}{d \theta}=b \cos \theta \\ \frac{d y}{d x} & =-\frac{b}{a} \cot \theta \end{aligned} \] On…
