Q116

Let \[ P = [ array*20c 3&1 \\ 1&3 array ].\] Consider the set S of all vectors \[ ( array*20c x \\ y array )\] such that a2 + b2 = 1 where \[ ( array*20c a \\ b array ) = P ( array*20c x \\ y array ).\] Then S is

Let {\text{P}} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 3&1 \\ 1&3 \end{array}} \right].   Consider the set S of all vectors \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {\text{x}} \\ {\text{y}} \end{array}} \right) such that a2 + b2 = 1 where \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {\text{a}} \\ {\text{b}} \end{array}} \right) = {\text{P}}\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {\text{x}} \\ {\text{y}} \end{array}} \right).   Then S is
