If x θ+y θ=z , then what is the value of (x θ-y θ)^2 ?
If , then what is the value of ?
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
Here, Let, $L=(x $\sin \theta-y \cos \theta$)^2\begin{aligned}
& \Rightarrow L=x^2 \sin ^2 \theta+y^2 \cos ^2 \theta-2 x y \sin \theta \cos \theta \\
& \Rightarrow L=x^2 \sin ^2 \theta+y^2 \cos ^2 \theta-\left[z^2-x^2 \cos ^2 \theta-y^2 \sin ^2 \theta\right]\\
& \Rightarrow L=x^2\left[\sin ^2 \theta+\cos ^2 \theta\right]+y^2\left[\sin ^2 \theta+\cos ^2 \theta\right]-z^2 \\
& \Rightarrow L=x^2+y^2-z^2
\end{aligned}$$
