The a and b determine how big or small the shape of the conic section is.
<span>For the different conic sections given through the equations </span>
<span>Circle: x^2/a^2 + y^2/a^2=1 </span>
<span>Ellipse: x^2/b^2+y^2/a^2 = 1 </span>
<span>Hyperbola: x^2/a^2 - y^2/b^2 = 1 </span>
<span>When trying to isolate cos and sin from those equations to get cos^2t + sin^2 t = 1 you can determine the conic section when substituting cos t = x/a and sint = y/b into cos^2t+sin^2t square it and then refer to the conic section equations to determine the conic section. x defines the major axis and y is the minor axis. a and b provide the coordinate pairs</span>





So to find value of x , we have to apply Linear Pair.
