When doing this problem, remember that cotangent 2 Theta
equals a -, C / b.
So if we have cotangent 2 Theta equaling 1 -, 4 / -4, we can see
that that's -3 / -4 or positive 3/4.
So we're going to draw ourselves a triangle.
We're going to call this two Theta cotangents adjacent over
opposite.
So we can see this is a 345 triangle.
So we can see sine Theta is going to equal sqrt 1 minus
cosine 2, Theta over two, and sine cosine Theta is going to
equal sqrt 1 plus cosine 2 Theta over 2.
These are both going to be positive because the cotangent
was positive.
So we get sqrt 1 - 3/5 / 2, square root 1 + 3 fifth over 2.
If we multiply top and bottom by 5:00, we'd get 5 + 3 / 10 sqrt 8
tenths or 4/5.
So if we rationalize radical 5 over radical 5:00, we'd get 2
square roots of 5 / 5 for the cosine, doing the same kind of
thing back here for the sine.
If we multiply by 5 / 5, we get 5 - 3 / 10, so square root of
2/10 or 1/5 sqrt 5 / sqrt 5.
So we're going to get sqrt 5 / 5.
So now we have our X ^2 -, 4 XY plus four y ^2 + 5 root 5 Y -10
equaling 0.
We can determine what kind of figure we expect by doing our b
^2 -, 4 AC.
If we do, let's go back one our b ^2 -4 AC, so b ^2 is -4 ^2 -4
* 1 * 4, so we're going to get 0.
Hence we're going to expect a parabola, and we know that our X
is going to equal X prime cosine.
Cosine was two root 5 / 5 minus Y prime sine in this case root 5
/ 5 and our Y is going to be X prime root 5 / 5 + y prime 2,
root 5 / 5.
So now we're just going to stick everything in and see what
happens.
So X ^2 X prime.
Let's actually put the coefficient first.
Two root 5 / 5 X prime minus root 5 / 5 Y prime squared -4
Two root 5 / 5 X prime minus root 5 / 5 Y prime times root 5
/ 5 X prime +2 root 5 / 5 Y prime +5 root five times root 5
/ 5 X prime +2 root 5 / 5 Y prime.
Oops, did it go oh come on, two root 5 / 5 Y prime.
We'll just rewrite it.
Root 5 / 5 X prime +2 root 5 / 5 Y prime.
And that got us to the five root 5 Y and then -10 = 0.
So when we foil this out to root 5 / 5, two times two is 4 root,
five times root 5 is five, 4 * 5 is 20 / 25 X prime squared.
When we foil this out, we get 2 * 5 or 1020 fifths for the
outer, but we're going to get the same thing for the inner.
So we're going to end up with -2020 fifths X prime Y prime
plus 520 fifths Y prime squared.
For this next part.
When we foil to root 5 / 5 times, root 5 / 5 is going to
give us 1020 fifths times the -4 so -4020 fifths X prime squared.
When we do the outside terms, we're going to get a +4 * 5 2020
fifths.
So 2020 fifths times -4 is going to be -8020 fifths X prime Y
prime.
When we do the inner, we're going to get -520 fifths and -5
* -4 is going to give us a +2020 fifths X prime Y prime.
And when we do the last terms, we're going to get -1020 fifths
-10 * -4 positive 4020 fifths Y prime squared down here.
Oh, I forgot this four y ^2 in here, didn't I?
Well, let's come back here and add the four times root 5 / 5 X
prime +2 root 5 / 5 Y prime squared.
So when we foil this, root 5 / 5 X prime is going to be 520
fifths.
520 fifths times 4 is 2020 fifths X prime squared.
When we do the outer terms, we're going to get 1020 fifths,
but the inner terms is going to be the same.
So 2020 fifths times 4 is going to give us 8020 fifths X prime Y
prime.
The last term squared to root 5 * 2 root 5 is going to be 4 * 5.
2020 fifths 20 * 4 is 8020 fifths Y prime squared.
Then we have the plus 5 root five times root 5 / 5, so that's
just going to give us 5X prime plus when we distribute this
out, we're going to get 10 Y prime -10 = 0.
So now if we combine things, 2020 fifth negative, 4020 fifths
and 2020 fifths are all going to cancel -2020 fifths -8020 fifths
+2020 fifths positive 8020 fifths are going to cancel 520
fifths, 4020 fifths, 8020 fifths.
So 45100 and 2520 fifths Y prime squared plus 10 Y prime is going
to equal -5 X prime plus ten.
We want to have A1 coefficient, so we're going to multiply
everything through.
But oh, 25125 twenty fifths is really just five Y prime
squared.
So we're going to divide everything through by 5 Y prime
squared +2 Y prime is going to equal negative X prime +2.
I need to complete the square so half of the two squared is one.
If I add 1 to one side, we're going to add 1 to the other.
So we're going to get y + 1 quantity squared, Y prime plus
one quantity squared equaling.
I'm going to factor out a -1, and we get X prime -3.
So our center, our vertices, because it's a parabola, should
be three -1.
Our four P is going to equal -1.
So our P is negative 1/4.
This is going to be opening left and right, and we know it's
going to open left because it's a negative.
So we're going to have a parabola that looks like this.
So we know that our focus is going to be 3 -, 1/4.
So 2 3/4 -1 our directrix is going to be X equal.
3 1/4 Our axis of symmetry is going to be Y equaling -1.
