The correct Answer is:
To find the angle between the lines given by the equation \((x^2 + y^2) \sin^2 \alpha = (x \cos \beta - y \sin \beta)^2\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the given equation Start with the original equation: \[ (x^2 + y^2) \sin^2 \alpha = (x \cos \beta - y \sin \beta)^2 \] ### Step 2: Expand the right-hand side Using the identity \((a - b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2\), we expand the right-hand side: \[ (x \cos \beta - y \sin \beta)^2 = x^2 \cos^2 \beta - 2xy \cos \beta \sin \beta + y^2 \sin^2 \beta \] Thus, we have: \[ (x^2 + y^2) \sin^2 \alpha = x^2 \cos^2 \beta - 2xy \cos \beta \sin \beta + y^2 \sin^2 \beta \] ### Step 3: Rearrange the equation Rearranging the equation gives: \[ x^2 \sin^2 \alpha + y^2 \sin^2 \alpha - x^2 \cos^2 \beta - y^2 \sin^2 \beta + 2xy \cos \beta \sin \beta = 0 \] This can be simplified to: \[ x^2 (\sin^2 \alpha - \cos^2 \beta) + y^2 (\sin^2 \alpha - \sin^2 \beta) + 2xy \cos \beta \sin \beta = 0 \] ### Step 4: Identify coefficients From the standard form of a pair of lines \(Ax^2 + 2Hxy + By^2 = 0\), we can identify: - \(A = \sin^2 \alpha - \cos^2 \beta\) - \(B = \sin^2 \alpha - \sin^2 \beta\) - \(H = \cos \beta \sin \beta\) ### Step 5: Use the formula for the angle between the lines The formula for the angle \(\theta\) between the two lines is given by: \[ \tan \theta = \frac{|2H|}{A + B} \] ### Step 6: Substitute the coefficients into the formula Substituting the values of \(A\), \(B\), and \(H\): \[ \tan \theta = \frac{|2 \cos \beta \sin \beta|}{(\sin^2 \alpha - \cos^2 \beta) + (\sin^2 \alpha - \sin^2 \beta)} \] ### Step 7: Simplify the expression The denominator simplifies to: \[ 2 \sin^2 \alpha - (\cos^2 \beta + \sin^2 \beta) = 2 \sin^2 \alpha - 1 \] Thus, we have: \[ \tan \theta = \frac{2 |\cos \beta \sin \beta|}{2 \sin^2 \alpha - 1} \] ### Step 8: Use trigonometric identities Using the identities \(\sin 2\beta = 2 \sin \beta \cos \beta\) and \(\cos 2\alpha = 1 - 2 \sin^2 \alpha\), we can rewrite: \[ \tan \theta = \frac{|\sin 2\beta|}{-\cos 2\alpha} \] ### Step 9: Final result This leads us to: \[ \tan \theta = \tan 2\alpha \] Thus, the angle \(\theta\) between the lines is: \[ \theta = 2\alpha \] ### Final Answer The angle between the lines is \(2\alpha\). ---
