The correct Answer is:
To find the locus of the point represented by the equations \( x = \frac{a}{2} \left( \frac{t+1}{t} \right) \) and \( y = \frac{a}{2} \left( \frac{t-1}{t} \right) \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the equations We start with the given equations: \[ x = \frac{a}{2} \left( \frac{t+1}{t} \right) \quad \text{and} \quad y = \frac{a}{2} \left( \frac{t-1}{t} \right) \] ### Step 2: Simplify the equations We can express \( x \) and \( y \) in terms of \( t \): \[ x = \frac{a}{2} \left( 1 + \frac{1}{t} \right) \quad \text{and} \quad y = \frac{a}{2} \left( 1 - \frac{1}{t} \right) \] ### Step 3: Isolate \( \frac{1}{t} \) From the equation for \( x \): \[ \frac{1}{t} = \frac{2x}{a} - 1 \] From the equation for \( y \): \[ \frac{1}{t} = 1 - \frac{2y}{a} \] ### Step 4: Set the two expressions for \( \frac{1}{t} \) equal Now we can set the two expressions for \( \frac{1}{t} \) equal to each other: \[ \frac{2x}{a} - 1 = 1 - \frac{2y}{a} \] ### Step 5: Rearrange the equation Rearranging gives: \[ \frac{2x}{a} + \frac{2y}{a} = 2 \] Multiplying through by \( a \) results in: \[ 2x + 2y = 2a \] Dividing by 2: \[ x + y = a \] ### Step 6: Find the equation of the locus Now, we square both \( x \) and \( y \): \[ x^2 + y^2 = a^2 \] ### Final Result Thus, the locus of the point is given by: \[ x^2 + y^2 = a^2 \]

To find the locus of the point represented by the equations \( x = \frac{a}{2} \left( \frac{t+1}{t} \right) \) and \( y = \frac{a}{2} \left( \frac{t-1}{t} \right) \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the equations We start with the given equations: \[ x = \frac{a}{2} \left( \frac{t+1}{t} \right) \quad \text{and} \quad y = \frac{a}{2} \left( \frac{t-1}{t} \right) \] ...
