Transform the given parametric equations into rectangular form. Then identify the conic.

Solution : Option B

Step-by-Step Explanation:

We have the following system of equations at hand here.

{ x = 5 cot(t), y = - 3csc(t) + 4 }

Now instead of isolating the t from either equation, let's isolate cot(t) and csc(t) --- Step #1,

x = 5 cot(t) ⇒ x - 5 = cot(t),

y = - 3csc(t) + 4 ⇒ y - 4 = - 3csc(t) ⇒ y - 4 / - 3 = csc(t)

Now let's square these two equations. We know that csc²θ - cot²θ = 1, so let's subtract the equations  as well. --- Step #2

( y - 4 / - 3 )² = (csc(t))²

- ( x - 5 / 1 )² = (cot(t))²  

(y - 4)² / 9 - x² / 25 = 1

And as we are subtracting the two expressions, this is an example of a hyperbola. Therefore your solution is option b.

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
