Your work is incorrect, with mistakes on almost every line.
Line 2: You multiplied both fractions by the same expression. You need to multiply each fraction by something different.
Line 3: cosx - cosx = 0 not 2cosx.
Line 5: cosx != 1 - sinx
Line 6: sin^2(x) - 1 != -(1 + sin^2(x))
Line 7: -(1 + sin^2(x)) != sin^2(x) - 1
Line 8: sin^2(x) - 1 != sinx
 
thanks very much
 
I picked up this problem from the Schaum's series book titled "College Mathematics" by Ayres/Schmidt. It is a solved problem in the book. But what surprised me was that the solution to this problem was given in one line without any explanation. I could, therefore, not understand how the given one-line solution was reached. The one-line solution in the book says: The equation is ##x \cos{\omega} +y \sin{\omega} - 5 = 0##, ##\omega## being the parameter. From my side, the only thing I could...
