Okay, so what does it mean that i want to substitute this into the equation? well, the trick substitution x is the same thing as 3 times sine of theta.
00:08
I just replace this with this x value with 3 times sine of theta, and note that x is squared to the whole quantity of squared.
00:16
Now, when i'm multiplying two terms and they're both squared, i can distribute that exponent.
00:20
So this would be 9 minus 3 squared times sine squared of theta, or this is equivalent to 9 minus 9 sine of squared of theta.
00:30
Now whenever i think about sine squared of theta, i should think about the pythagorean identity.
00:34
I know that sign squared of an angle plus cosine squared of the other angle equals 1.
00:40
I want to get maybe 1 minus something, 9 squared minus something.
00:46
So what i can do is i can subtract sign squared from both sides.
00:52
And i know that 1 minus sine squared is the same thing as cosine squared, okay? but note i have a 9 in front of here.
00:58
Well, what i could do is multiply each term by 9...
