The correct answer is: \( -\frac{1}{2} \)

Given that, x=etsint,y=etcost      1

At point 1,1,1=etsint,1=etcost

tant=1 t=π4

On differentiating Equation 1 w.r.t. x, we get

dydt=etcost-sint

and dxdt=etsint+cost

 dydx=dydtdxdt=cost-sintcost+sint

Again differentiating w.r.t. x, we get

d2ydx2=dxdtcost-sintcost-sintdtdx

=cost+sintsintcostcostsintsint+costcost+sint2dtdx

=-2cost+sint2.1etsint+cost

=  -2etcost+etsint.1cost+sint2

=-2x+y.1cost+sint2   from Equation1

At t=π4,x=1, y=1

 d2ydx2=-21+1.1cosπ4+sinπ42

=-112+12=-12
