Question

The curve represented by $$x = 2\left( {\cos \,t + \sin \,t} \right),\,y\, = 5\left( {\cos \,t - \sin \,t} \right)$$         is :

A. a circle
B. a parabola
C. an ellipse  
D. a hyperbola
Answer :   an ellipse
Solution :
$$\eqalign{ & x = 2\left( {\cos \,t + \sin \,t} \right) \cr & y\, = 5\left( {\cos \,t - \sin \,t} \right) \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{{{x^2}}}{4} + \frac{{{y^2}}}{{25}} = 2 \Rightarrow {\text{Ellipes}} \cr} $$
