Question

Eliminate θ from the following: 

x = 3secθ , y = 4tanθ

Sum

Solution

x = 3sec θ and y = 4tan θ

∴ sec θ = `x/3 and tan theta = y/4`

We know that,

sec2θ – tan2θ = 1

∴ `(x/3)^2 - (y/4)^2` = 1

∴ `x^2/9 - y^2/16` = 1

∴ `(16x^2 - 9y^2)/(16 xx 9)` = 1

∴ `(16x^2 - 9y^2)/144` = 1

∴ 16x2 − 9y2 = 1 x 144

∴ 16x2 – 9y2 = 144
