उत्तर
`Given that
`x = a sec theta + b tan theta`
`y = a ta theta + b sec theta`
We have to prove `x^2 - y^2 = a^2 - b^2`
We know that `sec^2 theta - tan^2 theta = 1`
So,
`x^2 - y^2`
`= (a sec theta + b tan theta)^2 - (a tan theta + b sec theta)^2`
`= (a^2 sec^2 theta + 2 ab sec theta + b^2 tan^2 theta) - (a^2 tan^2 theta + 2 ab sec theta tan theta + b^2 + sec^2 theta)`
`= a^2 (sec^2 theta - tan^2 theta) - b^2 (sec^2 theta - tan^2 theta)`
`= a^2 - b^2 `
Hence proved.
