Question:

If $x=8(\sin \theta+\cos \theta)$ and $y=9(\sin \theta-\cos \theta)$, then the value of $\frac{x^2}{8^2}+\frac{y^2}{9^2}$ is:

Options:

4

6

8

2

Correct Answer:

2

Explanation:

Given :-

x = 8 ( sinθ + cosθ ) & y = 9 ( sinθ - cosθ )

\(\frac{x}{8}\) = ( sinθ + cosθ ) & \(\frac{y}{9}\) = ( sinθ - cosθ )  

Squaring on both side and on adding

\(\frac{x2}{82}\) + \(\frac{y2}{92}\) = ( sinθ + cosθ )2 + ( sinθ - cosθ )2 

= sin2θ + cos2θ + 2 sinθ . cosθ + sin2θ + cos2θ  -  2 sinθ . cosθ 

= 1 + 1

= 2
