4. (a) 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 x^2/a^2+y^2/ b^2 = 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?

This is a question of parameters so we will arrange the variables to get the desired equation of ellipse.
The expert did excellent work as usual and was extremely helpful for me.
