Eliminate m,n between the equations mx−ny=a(m2−n2),nx+my=2amn,m2+n2=1.
Open in App
Solution
mx−ny=a(m2−n2) ..... (i)
nx+my=2amn..... (ii)
m2+n2=1 ..... (iii)
Squaring the equations (i), (ii)and then adding, we get
(mx−ny)2+(nx+my)2=a2(m2−n2)2+(2amn)2 (m2+n2)x2+(m2+n2)y2=a2(m2−n2)2+4a2m2n2 x2+y2=a2(m2+n2)2 x2+y2=a2(1) Therefore, the eliminated equation is x2+y2=a2
