The correct Answer is:
To eliminate \( \theta \) from the given equations and find the relationship between \( x \) and \( y \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write down the given equations The two equations provided are: 1. \( x \sin^3 \theta + y \cos^3 \theta = \sin \theta \cos \theta \) (Equation 1) 2. \( x \sin \theta - y \cos \theta = 0 \) (Equation 2) ### Step 2: Solve Equation 2 for one variable From Equation 2, we can express \( x \) in terms of \( y \): \[ x \sin \theta = y \cos \theta \implies \frac{x}{y} = \frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta} \implies \tan \theta = \frac{y}{x} \] Thus, we have: \[ \cot \theta = \frac{x}{y} \] ### Step 3: Substitute in Equation 1 Now, we will substitute \( \sin \theta \) and \( \cos \theta \) in terms of \( x \) and \( y \) into Equation 1. We can divide both sides of Equation 1 by \( \sin \theta \cos \theta \): \[ \frac{x \sin^3 \theta}{\sin \theta \cos \theta} + \frac{y \cos^3 \theta}{\sin \theta \cos \theta} = 1 \] This simplifies to: \[ x \frac{\sin^2 \theta}{\cos \theta} + y \frac{\cos^2 \theta}{\sin \theta} = 1 \] ### Step 4: Express \( \sin \theta \) and \( \cos \theta \) Using the identities: \[ \tan \theta = \frac{y}{x} \quad \text{and} \quad \cot \theta = \frac{x}{y} \] We can express: \[ \sin \theta = \frac{y}{\sqrt{x^2 + y^2}}, \quad \cos \theta = \frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2 + y^2}} \] ### Step 5: Substitute back into the equation Substituting these into the equation gives: \[ x \frac{y^2}{x^2} + y \frac{x^2}{y^2} = 1 \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{xy^2}{x^2} + \frac{yx^2}{y^2} = 1 \] ### Step 6: Combine and simplify Multiplying through by \( x^2y^2 \) to eliminate the denominators: \[ y^2y^2 + x^2x^2 = x^2y^2 \] This leads to: \[ y^4 + x^4 = x^2y^2 \] ### Step 7: Rearranging the equation Rearranging gives: \[ x^2 + y^2 = 1 \] ### Conclusion The final equation \( x^2 + y^2 = 1 \) represents a circle with radius 1 centered at the origin.
