If `cos^(-1)(x/2)+cos^(-1)(y/3) = theta`, prove that `9x^2- 12xycostheta+ 4y^2= 36 sin^(2)theta`A. 36B. `-36 sin^(2) theta`C. `36 sin^(2) theta`D. `36 cos^(2) theta` |
Answer» We have `cos^(-1)(x)/(2)+cos^(-1)(y)/(3)=theta` `rarr cos^(-1)(xy)/(6)sqrt(1-(x^(2))/(4)sqrt(1-(y^(2))/(9))}=theta` `rarr xy-sqrt(4-x^(2))sqrt(9-y^(2))=6costheta` `rarr xy-6cos theta^(2)=(4-x^(2))(9-y^(2))` `rarr-12xy cos theta + 36 cos^(2) theta =36 -4y^(2)-9x^(2)` `9x^(2)+4y^(2)-12xy cos theta =36 sin^(2) theta` |
