• Find $y=a\cos^3\theta$ and, $x=b\sin^3\theta$ from hypocycloid's formula
• Find $y=b\cos^3\theta$ and, $x=a\sin^3\theta$ from hypocycloid's formula
• Here's the equation for hypocycloid $$(\frac{x}{a})^{\dfrac{2}{3}}+(\frac{y}{b})^{\dfrac{2}{3}}=1$$
• Now, I have to find an equation for x and y. I can simply find by simple algebra. But, my book had used parametric equation, and they wrote
• $$y=a\cos^3\theta, x=b\sin^3\theta$$
• How to find [parametric equation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parametric_equation)? I don't have separated equation for x and y so, I can't do [this way](https://youtu.be/97pe-QlSGqA?t=715)

Find $x=a\cos^3\theta$ and, $y=b\sin^3\theta$ from hypocycloid's formula
Here's the equation for hypocycloid $$(\frac{x}{a})^{\dfrac{2}{3}}+(\frac{y}{b})^{\dfrac{2}{3}}=1$$

Now, I have to find an equation for x and y. I can simply find by simple algebra. But, my book had used parametric equation, and they wrote

$$x=a\cos^3\theta, y=b\sin^3\theta$$
