The tangent to a point P (p, pi/2) on the curve x=(4y-sin2y)^2 hits the y axis at point A, find the coordinates of this point.

p=4pi2 differentiating with respect to y we have dx/dy = 2(4y-sin2y)(4-2cos2y) substituting in the value of y =pi/2 we have dx/dy = 24pi, which means dy/dx =1/pi24using (y-y_1)=m(x-x_1) we have y-pi/2=1/24pi(x-4pi2) since we know this curve intersects the y axis this means x=0, if we substitute this in y=pi/3
