    Question

    If m = a cos³β and n = b sin³β, then find the value of (ma)23+(nb)23\left( \frac{m}{a} \right)^{\frac{2}{3}} + \left( \frac{n}{b} \right)^{\frac{2}{3}}.

    Correct option is C

    Given: 

    m = a cos³β

    n = b sin³β 

    Formula Used: 

    sin2β  + cos2β = 1 

    Solution: 

    m=acos3β cosβ=(ma)13 n=bsin3β sinβ=(nb)13m = a \cos³β \implies \cosβ = \left(\frac ma \right)^{\frac{1}{3}} \\ \ \\ n = b \sin³β \implies \sinβ = \left(\frac nb \right)^{\frac{1}{3}} 

    Now, 

    sin2β+cos2β=1 [(ma)13]2+[(nb)13]2=1 (ma)23+(nb)23=1\sin^2β + \cos^2β = 1 \\ \ \\ \left[\left(\frac ma \right)^{\frac13} \right]^2 +\left[\left(\frac nb \right)^{\frac13} \right]^2 = 1 \\ \ \\ \left(\frac ma \right)^{\frac23} +\left(\frac nb \right)^{\frac23} = 1 ​​
