Question : If $x=asin\theta-bcos\theta, y=acos\theta+bsin\theta$, then which of the following is true?

Option 1: $\frac{x^2}{y^2}+\frac{a^2}{b^2}=1$

Option 2: $x^2+y^2=a^2-b^2$

Option 3: $\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$

Option 4: $x^2+y^2=a^2+b^2$

Team Careers360 11th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $x^2+y^2=a^2+b^2$


Solution : Given: $x=a\sin\theta-b\cos\theta, y=a\cos\theta+b\sin\theta$
Now, $x^2+y^2$
= $(a\sin\theta-b\cos\theta)^2+(a\cos\theta+b\sin\theta)^2$
= $a^2\sin^2\theta+b^2\cos^2\theta-2ab\sin\theta \cos\theta+a^2\cos^2\theta+b^2\sin^2\theta+2ab\sin\theta \cos\theta$
= $a^2(\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta)+b^2(\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta)$
= $a^2+b^2$
Hence, the correct answer is $x^2+y^2=a^2+b^2$.
