Let P `(3cos^(4)0 . 3sin^(4)0)` be a variable point on the given curve.
`rArr " " m=(dy)/(dx) =((dy)/(d0))/((dx)/(d0)) =(3.4sin^(3) 0.cos0)/(-3.4 cos^(3) 0sin0)=- tan^(2) 0`
`rArr " "" equation of tangent at point P is "`
`y-3sin^(4)0 =- tan^(2)0 (x-3cos^(4)0)`
`rArr " "(x)/(3cos^(2)0) +(y)/(3sin^(4)0) =` ltbegt `rArr` sum of x- axis intercept and y-axis intercept `=3cos^(2)0 +3sin^(2)0 =3` (which is constant)
