Prelims
  1. Use the substitution \(x=\sqrt{15}\sin \theta \) to show that
    \(\displaystyle\displaystyle \displaystyle\int{\sqrt{15-{{x}^{2}}}\mathrm{d}x}=\frac{1}{2}x\sqrt{15-{{x}^{2}}}+\frac{15}{2}{{\sin }^{-1}}\left( \frac{x}{\sqrt{15}} \right)+C\).[5]
    The diagram below shows a sketch of the curves \({{C}_{1}}\) and \({{C}_{2}}\).
    List item image
    The curve \({{C}_{1}}\) has parametric equations
    \(x=6\cos \theta \), \( \qquad y=2\sqrt{2}\sin \theta \)
    for \(0\le \theta \le 2\pi \).
    The curve \({{C}_{2}}\) has equation
    \({{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}=15\).
    Given that \(P\) is a point of intersection between \({{C}_{1}}\) and \({{C}_{2}}\),
  2. Determine the exact coordinates of \(P\).[4]
