Please see below.

Explanation:

Form a
sqrt(a-bx^2)abx2 " "

Recall 1-sin^2theta = cos^2theta 1sin2θ=cos2θ

So turn sqrt(a(1-b/ax^2))a(1bax2) into sqrt(a(1-sin^2theta)a(1sin2θ)

using sintheta = sqrt(b/a)xsinθ=bax

Form b
sqrt(ax^2-b)ax2b " "

Recall sec^2theta - 1 = tan^2theta sec2θ1=tan2θ

So turn sqrt(a(b/ax^2-1))a(bax21) into sqrt(a(sec^2theta - 1)a(sec2θ1)

using sectheta = sqrt(b/a)xsecθ=bax

Form c
sqrt(a+bx^2)a+bx2 " "

Recall 1+tan^2theta = sec^2theta 1+tan2θ=sec2θ

So turn sqrt(a(1+b/ax))a(1+bax) into sqrt(a(1+tan^2theta)a(1+tan2θ)

Don't forget to find dxdx!
