If xasinθ-ybcosθ=1 and xacosθ+ybsinθ=1, prove that x2a2+y2b2=2.

Open in App
Solution

We have (xasinθybcosθ)=1Squaring both side, we have:(xasinθybcosθ)2=(1)2(x2a2sin2θ+y2b2cos2θ2xa×ybsinθcosθ)=1 ...(i)Again, (xacosθ+ybsinθ)=1Squaring both side, we get:(xacosθ+ybsinθ)2=(1)2(x2a2cos2θ+y2b2sin2θ+2xa×ybsinθcosθ)=1 ...(ii)Now, adding (i) and (ii), we get:(x2a2sin2θ+y2b2cos2θ2xa×ybsinθcosθ)+(x2a2cos2θ+y2b2sin2θ+2xa×ybsinθcosθ)=2x2a2sin2θ+y2b2cos2θ+x2a2cos2θ+y2b2sin2θ=2(x2a2sin2θ+x2a2cos2θ)+(y2b2cos2θ+y2b2sin2θ)=2x2a2(sin2θ+cos2θ)+y2b2(cos2θ+sin2θ)=2x2a2+y2b2=2 [sin2θ+cos2θ=1]x2a2+y2b2=2
