Question #bb3cf

2 Answers

"See below".

Explanation:

x = a /(cos^3 theta)
y = b sin^3theta/cos^3theta then

x/y = a/b sin^3 theta and then

theta =arcsin( root(3)((bx)/(ay)))

We have

sec^3theta=x

=>sec^2theta=x^(2/3)......【1】

And

tan^3theta=y

=>tan^2theta=y^(2/3)......【2】

So subtracting [2] from [1] we get

x^(2/3)-y^(2/3)=sec^2theta-tan^2theta

=>x^(2/3)-y^(2/3)=1
