Use a rotation of axes to eliminate the xyterm Write an equa
Use a rotation of axes to eliminate the xy-term. (Write an equation in XY-coordinates. Use a rotation angle that satisfies
0 /2.)
241x2 + 576xy + 409y2 = 40x 30y + 600
Solution
241x2 + 576xy + 409y2 = 40x 30y + 600
241x2 + 576xy + 409y2 - 40x + 30y - 600=0
comparing with Ax2+Bxy+Cy2+Dx+Ey+F=0
angle to be rotated to remove xy term =
tan(2)=B/(A-C)
tan(2)=576/(241-409)
=53.13o
x=Xcos-Ysin,y=Xsin+Ycos
x=0.6X-0.8Y,y=0.8X+0.6Y
241x2 + 576xy + 409y2 - 40x + 30y - 600=0
241(0.6X-0.8Y)2 + 576(0.6X-0.8Y)(0.8X+0.6Y) + 409(0.8X+0.6Y)2 - 40(0.6X-0.8Y) + 30(0.8X+0.6Y) - 600=0
625X2+25Y2+50Y-600=0
