Auxiliary condition
How do I solve for the auxiliary equation?
I think you made a typo, should be
but it seems to correct itself later.
You can use the inverse rotation to get your solution in terms of x and y, and then solve using the auxiliary condition.
Or you can transform the auxiliary condition into your new coordinate system.
Can you show me how that is done? Yes, I made a typo.
is the line
.
Taking the partial w.r.t x at y=0 for the constraint gives:
when
Take the partials. Substitute to get rid of, and solve for
.
implies
actually I made a mistake :p
Let me fix that.
Sorry about the poor explanations :(
so
This is the same thing as the pair of constraints:
Transforming each equation gives:
Last part inside the cosine is because:
Snowtea,
unfortunately, I have no idea how to solve the problem using your method but I was able to obtain the solution.
B and D are arbitrary and since, let D = 0.
Now, let B = 1.
