Suppose a particle P is moving in the plane so that its coordinates are given by P(x,y), where x = 4cos2t, y = 7sin2t.
(i) By finding a,b ∈ R such that x2 a2 + y2 b2 = 1, show that P is travelling on an elliptical path.
(ii) Let L(t) be the distance from P to the origin. Obtain an expression for L(t).
(iii) How fast is the distance between P and the origin changing when t = π/8?[
