Eliminate θ from the following : 

x = 6cosecθ, y = 8cotθ

Sum

Solution

x = 6cosecθ and y = 8cotθ

∴ cosecθ = `x/6 and cot theta = y/8`

We know that,

∴ cosec2θ – cot2θ = 1 

`(x/6)^2 - (y/8)^2` = 1

∴ `x^2/36 - y^2/64` = 1

∴ `(64x^2 - 36y^2)/(36 xx 64)` = 1

∴ `(64x^2 - 36y^2)/2304` = 1

∴ 64x2 – 36y2 = 2304

Divided by 4

∴ 16x2 – 9y2 = 576
