Answer

To find the Cartesian equation from the parametric equations for C1C_1, we use the identity:

extcos2(t)+extsin2(t)=1 ext{cos}^2(t) + ext{sin}^2(t) = 1

Substituting x=10extcos(t)x = 10 ext{cos}(t) and y=4ext2extsin(t)y = 4 ext{√}2 ext{sin}(t), we can express C1C_1 as:

  1. Solve for extcos(t) ext{cos}(t): extcos(t)=x10 ext{cos}(t) = \frac{x}{10}

  2. Solve for extsin(t) ext{sin}(t) using: extsin2(t)=1extcos2(t)=1(x10)2 ext{sin}^2(t) = 1 - ext{cos}^2(t) = 1 - \left(\frac{x}{10}\right)^2

  3. Substitute into yy: y=4ext2extsin(t)     extsin(t)=y4ext2y = 4 ext{√}2 ext{sin}(t)\implies \ ext{sin}(t) = \frac{y}{4 ext{√}2}

Thus,

(y4ext2)2+(x10)2=1\left(\frac{y}{4 ext{√}2}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{x}{10}\right)^2 = 1

Which gives us:

y232+x2100=1\frac{y^2}{32} + \frac{x^2}{100} = 1

Answer

The circle C2C_2 has the equation: x2+y2=66x^2 + y^2 = 66

Now, substitute y2=66x2y^2 = 66 - x^2 into the equation for C1C_1:

(66x2)32+x2100=1\frac{(66 - x^2)}{32} + \frac{x^2}{100} = 1

Multiply by 32003200 to eliminate the denominators:

100(66x2)+32x2=3200100(66 - x^2) + 32x^2 = 3200

This simplifies to:

6600100x2+32x2=32006600 - 100x^2 + 32x^2 = 3200

Further simplifying and rearranging gives:

68x2+66003200=0    68x2=3400    x2=50-68x^2 + 6600 - 3200 = 0\implies 68x^2 = 3400\implies x^2 = 50

Therefore: x=50=52extor52x = \sqrt{50} = 5\text{√}2 \, ext{or} \, -5\text{√}2

Step 3

Part (c) Find $y$ coordinates for points in quadrant 4

Answer

For x=52x = 5\text{√}2 and substituting back into the circle equation:

y2=66(52)2y^2 = 66 - (5\text{√}2)^2

Calculating it gives:

y2=6650=16    y=4extor4y^2 = 66 - 50 = 16\implies y = 4 \, ext{or} \, -4

Since we need the 4th quadrant, we take: y=4y = -4

Step 4

Part (d) Cartesian coordinates of point $S$

Answer

Consequently, the Cartesian coordinates for point SS are:

S(52,4)S (5\text{√}2, -4)

Alternatively, using the other xx value: S=(52,4)S = (-5\text{√}2, 4), but that is in the 2nd quadrant, so we discard it.
