Hello
Could someone please explain to me how to do the parts regarding the angle x??? (I've already sketched the ellipse, hyperbola + common auxillary circles.)
Sketch the ellipse
, the hyperbola
and their common auxillary circles
and
on the same diagram, showing the angle x and the related points P(acosx, bsinx) - a point in the 1st quadrant on the ellipse - and Q (asecx, btanx) - a point on the hyperbola. Show clearly how the positions of P and Q are determined by the value of x where 0<x<90 degrees.<!-- google_ad_section_end -->
