Answers (1)

ANSWER: Equation of tangent, 2 x \cos \theta+3 y \sin \theta=6

                 Equation  of normal , 3 x \sin \theta-2 y \cos \theta-5 \sin \theta \cos \theta=0

HINTS:

 Differentiating the given curve with respect to x

GIVEN:

4 x^{2}+9 y^{2}=36 a t[3 \cos \theta, 2 \sin \theta]

SOLUTION:

\begin{aligned} &8 x+18 y \frac{d y}{d x}=0 \\ &\Rightarrow 18 y \frac{d y}{d x}=-8 x \\ &\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{-8 x}{18 y}=\frac{-4 x}{9 y} \end{aligned}

Slope of tangent ,

m=\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)_{(3 \cos \theta, 2 \sin \theta)}

Equation of tangent is,

y-y_{1}=m\left(x-x_{1}\right)

\Rightarrow y-2 \sin \theta=\frac{-2 \cos \theta}{3 \sin \theta}(x-3 \cos \theta)

\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow 3 y \sin \theta-6 \sin ^{2} \theta=-2 x \cos \theta+6 \cos ^{2} \theta \\ &\Rightarrow 2 x \cos \theta+3 y \sin \theta=6\left(\cos ^{2} \theta+\sin ^{2} \theta\right) \end{aligned}

\therefore 2 x \cos \theta+3 y \sin \theta=6

Equation of Normal  is,

y-y_{1}=-\frac{1}{m}\left(x-x_{1}\right)

\Rightarrow y-2 \sin \theta=\frac{3 \sin \theta}{2 \cos \theta}(x-3 \cos \theta)

\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow 2 y \cos \theta-4 \sin \theta \cos \theta=3 x \sin \theta-9 \sin \theta \cos \theta \\ &\Rightarrow 3 x \sin \theta-2 y \cos \theta-5 \sin \theta \cos \theta=0 \end{aligned}
