MCQ
If $\text{x}=\text{a}\sec\theta \text{ and y}=\text{b}\tan\theta,$ then $b^2x^2- a^2y^2=$
- A$a b $
- B$ a^2-b^2 $
- C$ a^2+b^2 $
- ✓$ a^2 b^2$
Given, $\text{x}=\text{a}\sec\theta,\text{y}=\text{b}\tan\theta$
So,
$\text{b}^2\text{y}^2-\text{a}^2\text{y}^2$
$=\text{b}^2(\text{a}\sec\theta)^2-\text{a}^2(\text{b}\tan\theta)^2$
$=\text{b}^2\text{a}^2\sec^2\theta-\text{a}^2\text{b}^2\tan^2\theta$
$=\text{b}^2\text{a}^2(\sec^2\theta-\tan^2\theta)$
We know that,
$\sec^2\theta-\tan^2\theta=1$
$\text{b}^2\text{x}^2-\text{a}^2\text{y}^2=\text{a}^2\text{b}^2$
Hence, the correct option is $(D)$.
