The correct answer is:
$(3 x-1)^2+(3 y)^2=a^2+b^2$
$(3 x-1)^2+(3 y)^2=a^2+b^2$
$x=\frac{\cos t+b \sin t+1}{3} \Rightarrow a \cos t+b \sin t=3 x-1$
$y=\frac{a \sin t-b \cos t}{3} \Rightarrow a \sin t-b \sin t=3 y$
Squaring \& adding, $(3 \mathrm{x}-1)^2+(3 \mathrm{y})^2=\mathrm{a}^2+\mathrm{b}^2$
$y=\frac{a \sin t-b \cos t}{3} \Rightarrow a \sin t-b \sin t=3 y$
Squaring \& adding, $(3 \mathrm{x}-1)^2+(3 \mathrm{y})^2=\mathrm{a}^2+\mathrm{b}^2$
