= (a 2 b 2 )

3. Show that the evolute of the cycloid x = a ( sin ), y = a (1 cos ) is another cycloid. 4. Find the envelope of the family of straight line is the parameter and a, b are constants. Ans:
y = mx + a 2 m 2 + b 2

where m

x2 y2 + =1 a2 b2

5. Find the envelope of x cos 3 + y sin 3 = p where is a parameter. Ans : x 2 y 2 = p 2 ( x 2 + y 2 ). @@@
