TopicParametric equations

13. The curve \(C\) has parametric equations $$x = 10 \cos 2 t , \quad y = 6 \sin t , \quad - \frac { \pi } { 2 } \leqslant t \leqslant \frac { \pi } { 2 }$$ The point \(A\) with coordinates \(( 5,3 )\) lies on \(C\).
  1. Find the value of \(t\) at the point \(A\).
  2. Show that an equation of the normal to \(C\) at \(A\) is $$3 y = 10 x - 41$$ The normal to \(C\) at \(A\) cuts \(C\) again at the point \(B\).
  3. Find the exact coordinates of \(B\).
