#(dy)/(dx)=(t^2cost+2tcost+sint)/(cos^2t+2tsintcost)#

In parametric form of equation #f(t)=(x(t),y(t))#

#(dy)/(dx)=((dy)/(dt))/((dx)/(dt))#

Here #x(t)=tcos^2t# and #y=t^2sint-cost#

and therefore #(dx)/(dt)=cos^2t-txx2costxx(-sint)#

= #cos^2t+2tsintcost#

and #(dy)/(dt)=t^2cost+2tcost+sint#

Hence #(dy)/(dx)=(t^2cost+2tcost+sint)/(cos^2t+2tsintcost)#
