If the straight line `xcosalpha+ysinalpha=p` touches the curve `(x^2)/(a^2)+(y^2)/(b^2)=1` , then prove that `a^2cos^2alpha+b^2sin^2alpha=p^2dot`

A

`a^(2)cos^(2)alpha-b^(2)sin^(2)alpha=p^(2)`

B

`a^(2)cos^(2)alpha-b^(2)sin^(2)alpha=p`

C

`a^(2)cos^(2)alpha+b^(2)sin^(2)alpha=p^(2)`

D

`a^(2)cos^(2)alpha+b^(2)sin^(2)alpha=p`
