Homework Statement
Good Day,
On an oscilloscope, when two incoming signals are out of phase, in an XY setting, an ellipse appears on the oscilloscope screen. The phase shift between the two incoming signals can be found by the formula:
[tex]sin^{-1}((Y_{max})/(Y_{int}))[/tex] where Y max is the ellipse's max value and Y int is the Y intercept.
I am asked to derive this equation, and I am not sure how to start.
Any help would be appreciated!
Homework Equations
I was not given any relevant equations - although the derivation shouldn't be too hard. My professor said this class is pretty UN math intensive.

I do not have an attempt- I don't know where to start!
