Question

The locus of the point (a cos3 q, a sin3 q) is

  1. x2/3 – y2/3 = a2/3
  2. x2/3 + y2/3 = a2/3
  3. x2/3 + y2/3 = a3/2
  4. x3/2 + y2/3 = a3/2

hintHint:

Here we have to give the locus of the (a cos3 q, a sin3 q). Here x and y point are given so put this value in options and find which one satisfy the equation.

The correct answer is: x2/3 + y2/3 = a2/3


    Here we have to find the correct equation where locus of the point is given.
    Firstly, we have locus which is (a cos3 q, a sin3 q)
    So, x = a cos3q and y = a sin3q
    We have, (1)
    x to the power of 3 over 2 end exponent + y to the power of 2 over 3 end exponent = a to the power of 3 over 2 end exponent
    LHS
    => (a cos3 q) 3 over 2 + (a sin3 q) 3 over 2
    => (a to the power of 3 over 2 end exponent cos to the power of 9 over 2 end exponent q) + (a to the power of 3 over 2 end exponentsin2 q)
    => a to the power of 3 over 2 end exponent ((cos to the power of 9 over 2 end exponent q) + (sin2 q))
    So, it is not equal to RHS, it is wrong option
    (2)
    x to the power of 2 over 3 end exponent + y to the power of 2 over 3 end exponent = a to the power of 3 over 2 end exponent
    LHS =
    => left parenthesis a space cos 3 q space right parenthesis to the power of 2 over 3 end exponent + space left parenthesis a space sin 3 q space right parenthesis to the power of 2 over 3 end exponent
    => (a to the power of 2 over 3 end exponent cos2 q ) + (a to the power of 2 over 3 end exponent sin2 q )
    => a to the power of 2 over 3 end exponent (cos2 q ) + (sin2 q )
    => a to the power of 2 over 3 end exponent x 1 [ since, (cos2 x ) + (sin2 x ) = 1 ]
    => a to the power of 2 over 3 end exponent
    It is not equal to RHS, it is wrong option.
    (3)
    x to the power of 2 over 3 end exponent + y to the power of 2 over 3 end exponent = a to the power of 2 over 3 end exponent
    LHS=
    =>left parenthesis a c o s 3 q right parenthesis to the power of 2 over 3 end exponent -space left parenthesis a space sin 3 q space right parenthesis to the power of 2 over 3 end exponent
    => (a to the power of 2 over 3 end exponent cos2 q) - (a to the power of 2 over 3 end exponent sin2 q)
    => a to the power of 2 over 3 end exponent (cos2 q) -(sin2 q)
    It is not equal to RHS, it is wrong option.
    (4)
    x to the power of 2 over 3 end exponent + y to the power of 2 over 3 end exponent = a to the power of 2 over 3 end exponent
    LHS=
    =>left parenthesis a c o s cubed q right parenthesis to the power of 2 over 3 end exponentleft parenthesis a sin cubed q right parenthesis to the power of 2 over 3 end exponent 
    => (a to the power of 2 over 3 end exponent cos2 q) + (a to the power of 2 over 3 end exponentsin2 q)
    => a to the power of 2 over 3 end exponent (cos2 q) + (sin2 q)
    => a to the power of 2 over 3 end exponent x 1 [ since, (cos2 x) + (sin2 x) = 1]
    => a to the power of 2 over 3 end exponent
    Here, LHS = RHS, so it is the correct answer.
    Therefore, the correct answer is x to the power of 2 over 3 end exponent + y to the power of 2 over 3 end exponent = a to the power of 2 over 3 end exponent

    In this question, we have to find the correct option, where we are given with Locus point. The locus of points is defined as the set of points that satisfy certain properties. A locus is a set of points, in geometry, which satisfies a given condition or situation for a shape or a figure.
