Find the equation of the tangent and normal to the ellipse x2/a2+y2/b2=1 at the point (a cost + b sint?
If you meant, "...at the point (a cost, b sint)", then the answer is as follows:-
So, at the point (a cos t, b sin t),
Thus, equation of the tangent at (a cos t, b sin t) is:-
And, equation of the normal at (a cos t, b sin t) is:-
So, at the point (a cos t, b sin t),
Thus, equation of the tangent at (a cos t, b sin t) is:-
And, equation of the normal at (a cos t, b sin t) is:-
