Solution
Given: x sin3 θ + y cos3 θ = sin θ. cos θ
⇒ (x sin θ) sin2θ + (y cos θ) cos2θ = sin θ. cos θ
⇒ (x sin θ) sin2θ + (x sin θ) cos2θ = sin θ. cos θ .....(∵ y cos θ = x sin θ)
⇒ x sin θ ( sin2θ + cos2θ ) = sin θ. cos θ
⇒ x sin θ = sin θ. cos θ
⇒ x = cos θ ....(1)
Again x sin θ = y cos θ
⇒ cos θ sin θ = y cos θ
⇒ y = sin θ .....(2)
Squaring and adding (1) and (2), we get the required result.
Hence proved.
