(b) A ellipse C has equation a² b where a b>0. (i) Show that the point P = (x, y) lies on C if and only if there exists some t = [0, 2π) such that x = a cost and y = bsint. (You may assume facts about the standard parametrisation of a circle, so long as you state them clearly.) (ii) Points P = (a cos p, b sin p) and Q = (a cos q, b sin q) both lie on C. Prove that the chord PQ has gradient 62 p+q +(²+²) a 2 (You may assume any of the following identities: cot sin sin = 2 sin cos + coso = 2 cos 1 COS 2 2 (ª + º) • (070) (0+0) cos (²70) COS 2 2 0 (2*)sin(*z*). (iii) Hence show that the tangent to C at the point P has equation os p (COSP) x + (Simp) a (Hint: take the limit at q gets closer to p.) cos cos=-2 sin 0 + y = 1.
