Answer

$$x^2+\sqrt 3 xy=16$

Work Step by Step

Given: $\phi =60^{\circ}$ The polar equation for x-component along X-axis is given as: $X=x \cos \phi+y\sin \phi=x \cos 60^{\circ} +y \sin 60^{\circ}\\=x\dfrac{1}{2}+y\dfrac{\sqrt 3}{2}\\=\dfrac{x-\sqrt 3y}{2}$ The polar equation for y-component along Y-axis is given as: $Y=-x \sin \phi+y\cos \phi=x(\dfrac{\sqrt 3}{2})+y(\dfrac{1}{2})\\=\dfrac{x\sqrt 3+y}{2}$ Now, $x^2-3y^2=4$ This gives: $(\dfrac{x-\sqrt 3y}{2})^2-3(\dfrac{x\sqrt 3+y}{2})^2=4$ This implies that $-8x^2-8\sqrt 3xy=16$ Thus, we have $x^2+\sqrt 3 xy=16$
