P is a variable point on the line L=0 . Tangents are drawn to the circles x^(2)+y^(2)=4 from P to touch it at Q and R. The parallelogram PQSR is completed. If P -=(3,4), then the coordinates of S are

Answer»

`(-46//25,63//25)`
`(-51//25,-68//25)`
`(-46//25,68//25)`
`(-68//25,51//25)`

SOLUTION :As `P -=(3,4)` , the equationof QR is
`3x+4y=4 `(1)
Let ` S -= (x_(1),y_(1))`.
S is the MIRROR image of Pw.r.t. (1). Then,
`(x_(1)-3)/(3)=(y_(1)-4)/(4)= (-2(3xx3+4xx4-4))/(3^(2)+4^(2))=-(42)/(25)`
`:. x_(1)=-(51)/(25),y_(1)=-(68)/(25)`
or `S-=(-(51)/(25),-(68)/(25))`
4.

P is a variable point on the line L=0 . Tangents are drawn to the circles x^(2)+y^(2)=4 from P to touch it at Q and R. The parallelogram PQSR is completed.If P-= (6,8), then the area of Delta QRS is

Answer»

`(3sqrt(6))/(25)` sq. units
`(3sqrt(24))/(25)` sq. units
`(48sqrt(6))/(25)` sq. units
`(192sqrt(6))/(25)` sq. units

Solution :`P -= (6,8)`
Thereforem the equation of QR (chord of contact ) is
`6x+8y=4`
or `3x+4y-2=0 `
`:. PM =(48)/(50` and `PQ =SQRT(96)`
`QM =sqrt(96-(48^(2))/(25))=sqrt((96)/(25))`
`:. QR = 2 sqrt((96)/(25))`
`:. ` Area of `Delta PQR =(1)/(2) XX PM xx QR =(192 sqrt(6))/(25)`
PQRS is a rhombus. Therefore,
Area of `DeltaRS =` Area of `Delta PQR = (192sqrt(6))/(25)`

Statement-1: If f(x)=int_(1)^(x)(log_(e )t)/(1+t+t^(2))dt, then f(x)=f((1)/(x))for all x gr 0. Statement-2:If f(x)=int_(1)^(x)(log_(e )t)/(1+t)dt, then f(x)+f((1)/(x))=((log_(e )x)^(2))/(2)

Answer»

Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is True,Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.
Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1.
Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False.
Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True.

Solution :If F(X)`=underset(1)overset(x)int (log_(E )t)/(1+t+t^(2))dt`, then
`f((1)/(x))=underset(1)overset(1//x)int (log_(e )t)/(1+t+t^(2))dt`
`RARR f((1)/(x))=underset(1)overset(x)int (log_(e )u)/(1+u+u^(2))du`, where `t=(1)/(u)`
`rArr f((1)/(x))=f(x)`
So, statement-1 is true.
If`f(x)=underset(1)overset(x)int (log_(e )t)/(2+t)dt`, then
`((1)/(x))=underset(1)overset(1//x)int(log_(e )t)/(1+t)dt`
`rArr f((1)/(x))=underset(1)overset(x)int(log_(e )u)/(u(1+u))du`, where `t=(1)/(u)`
`rArr f((1)/(x))=underset(1)overset(x)int(log_(e ))/(t(l+t))dt`
`:. f(x)+f((1)/(x))=underset(1)overset(x)int (log_(e )t)/(t+1)(1+(1)/(t))dt`
`=underset(1)overset(x)int (logt)/(t)dt=[((log_(e )t)^(2))/(2)]_(1)^(x)=((log_(e )x)^(2))/(2)`
So, statement-2 is also true.
