Question #9eda6 Calculus Parametric Functions Introduction to Parametric Equations 1 Answer Eddie Oct 10, 2016 #(y/(3x))^2 + (x/2)^2 = 1 # Explanation: #x = 2 cos theta, implies color(red)( cos theta = x/2)# AND #y = 3 sin 2 theta # #= 3 (2sin theta cos theta) # #= 6 sin theta cos theta # #= 6 sin theta * x/2 # #= 3x sin theta # So #sin theta = color(red)(y/(3x))# using the ID: #sin^2 theta + cos^2 theta = 1#, we have: #(y/(3x))^2 + (x/2)^2 = 1 # Answer link Related questions How do you find the parametric equation of a parabola?
