$x \cos 	heta - y \sin 	heta = a \cos 2 	heta$

Vedclass · Answer

(B) The given line is $x \sec 	heta + y \operatorname{cosec} 	heta = a$,which can be written as $\frac{x}{\cos 	heta} + \frac{y}{\sin 	heta} = a$.Any line perpendicular to $Ax + By + C = 0$ is of the form $Bx - Ay + k = 0$.Thus,the line perpendicular to the given line is $x \operatorname{cosec} 	heta - y \sec 	heta + k = 0$,or $\frac{x}{\sin 	heta} - \frac{y}{\cos 	heta} = -k$.Since this line passes through $(a \cos^3 	heta, a \sin^3 	heta)$,we substitute these coordinates:$\frac{a \cos^3 	heta}{\sin 	heta} - \frac{a \sin^3 	heta}{\cos 	heta} = -k$$\frac{a(\cos^4 	heta - \sin^4 	heta)}{\sin 	heta \cos 	heta} = -k$Using $\cos^4 	heta - \sin^4 	heta = (\cos^2 	heta - \sin^2 	heta)(\cos^2 	heta + \sin^2 	heta) = \cos 2 	heta$,we get:$\frac{a \cos 2 	heta}{\sin 	heta \cos 	heta} = -k$Substituting $-k$ back into the equation $\frac{x}{\sin 	heta} - \frac{y}{\cos 	heta} = -k$:$\frac{x}{\sin 	heta} - \frac{y}{\cos 	heta} = \frac{a \cos 2 	heta}{\sin 	heta \cos 	heta}$Multiplying by $\sin 	heta \cos 	heta$ gives:$x \cos 	heta - y \sin 	heta = a \cos 2 	heta$.
