Determine the Cartesian equation of the circle given by the parametric equations
\(\begin{aligned} & x=-3+4 \cos \theta \\
& y=1+4 \sin \theta\end{aligned}\)
\(C\)
\(x=-3+4 \cos\, \theta\ \Rightarrow \ \cos\,\theta=\dfrac{x+3}{4} \)
\(y=1+4 \sin\, \theta\ \Rightarrow \ \sin\,\theta=\dfrac{y-1}{4} \)
\(\text{Using}\ \ \sin^{2}\theta + \cos^{2}\theta=1:\)
| \( \Big(\dfrac{x+3}{4}\Big)^{2} + \Big(\dfrac{y-1}{4}\Big)^{2}\) | \(=1\) | |
| \((x+3)^2+(y-1)^2\) | \(=16\) |
\(\Rightarrow C\)
A function is defined parametrically by
`x(t) = 5cos(2t) + 1,\ \ y(t) = 5sin(2t)-1`
If `A(6, –1)` and `B(1, 4)` are two points that lie on the graph of the function, then find the shortest distance along the graph from `A` to `B`. (2 marks)
