Problem

A curve is represented parametrically by the equations x=etcos⁡tx = e^t \cos t and y=etsin⁡ty = e^t \sin t, where tt is a parameter. Find the relation between the parameter tt and the angle α\alpha between the tangent to the curve and the XX-axis (i.e., express tt in terms of α\alpha). a. π2−α\frac{\pi}{2} - \alpha b. π4+α\frac{\pi}{4} + \alpha c. α−π4\alpha - \frac{\pi}{4} d. π4−α\frac{\pi}{4} - \alpha
