Find the transformed equation of x cosα + y sinα = p when the axes are rotated through an angle ‘α’. |
|
Answer» Let (X, Y) be the new coordinates of (x, y) So, x = X cosα – Y sinα, y = X sinα + Y cosα The transformed equation is (X cosα – Y sinα) cosα + (X sinα + Y cosα) sinα = p => X cos2α – Y sinα cosα + Y sin2α + Y cosα sinα = p => X(cos2α + sin2α) = p =>X = p. |
