(c) Find the equations of the curves whose parametric equations are: ii) x = 3cos theta , y = 3sin theta
The aim is to eliminate the parameter theta....the final eqn should be a relationship between x and y
x = 3cos t , y = 3sin t
what relationship between sin t and cos t exists
to sole t is write instead of theta ?
if you square and add both the equations, you will eliminate theta
x^2 = 9 cos t^2 , y = 9 sin t^ 2 ???
its y^2 = 9 sin t^2 and yes, now add them, what u get ?
x^2 = 9 cos t^2 , y^2 = 9 sin t^2
solve them together or spread
i don"t speak eng good :(
don't forget to put brackets x^2 = 9 (cos t)^2 , y^2 = 9 (sin t)^2 when you add them, u get x^2+y^2 = 9[sin^2 t + cos^2 t] u know what [sin^2 t + cos^2 t] equals ?
i don"t sure
[sin^2 t + cos^2 t] equals 1 so, finally u get x^2+y^2 = 9
Thank you you're a genius Hahahah
