    Re: HSC 2016 4U Marathon Given P ( a cos theta , b sin theta ) and Q ( a cos phi , b sin phi ) lie on the ellipse x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 = 1 IF PQ subtends a right angle at (a,0) show that ( tan theta/2 ) X ( tan phi/2 ) = -b^2/a^2 How does b (sin theta - sin phi ) / a (cos theta - cos phi) = b/a...

    Re: MX2 2016 Integration Marathon also sorry for double post i think this conics stuff is really messing with me, this is some stupid trig identity thing with this conics that isnt really clicking with me: How does b (sin theta - sin phi ) / a (cos theta - cos phi) = b/a * ( 2 sin (...
