Slope of tangent at # pi/4# is #1.09#

#r= theta- sin(theta/3- (2 pi)/3) ; theta = pi/4#

#(dr)/(d theta) = 1 - cos (theta/3-(2 pi)/3)*1/3#

#(dr)/(d theta)(pi/4) = 1 - cos ((pi/4)/3-(2 pi)/3)*1/3# or

#(dr)/(d theta)(pi/4) = 1 - cos (pi/12-(2 pi)/3)*1/3#or

#(dr)/(d theta)(pi/4) = 1 - cos (-1.8326)*1/3#or

#=(dr)/(d theta)(pi/4) = 1 - (-0.2588)*1/3#

#=(dr)/(d theta)(pi/4) ~~ 1.086#

Slope of tangent at # pi/4# is #1.09# [Ans]
