Show that points (0,1,2),(2,5,8),(5,6,6) and (3,2,0) from a parallelogram. |
Answer» SOLUTION :LetA=`(0,1,2),B=(2,5,8)C=(5,6,6), D= (3,2,0)`![]() `"Then "AB=sqrt(4+16+36)=sqrt(56)` `DC =sqrt(4+16+36)=sqrt(56) ` ` "Thus" AB=DC ` `"Again" BC=sqrt(9+1+4) = sqrt(14)` `AD=sqrt(9+1+4) =sqrt(14)` `:. BC=AD ` Thus the OPPOSITE sides of the QUADRILATERAL ABCD are equal, hence it is a PARALLELOGRAM. |

Let E_(1) and E_(2) two ellipse whose centres are at the orgin. Then major axes of E_(1) and E_(2) lie along the x-axis and the y-axis, respectively. LetS be the circle x^(2)+(y-1)^(2)=2 the straight line x + y = 3 touches the curves S, E_(1) and E_(2) at P, Q and R, respectively. Suppose that PQ = PR = (2sqrt2)/(3), if e_(1) and e_(2) are the eccentricities of E_(1) and E_(2), respectively, then the correct expression(s) is (are) |
|
Answer» `e_(1)^(2)+e_(2)^(2)=(43)/(40)` `e_(1)^(2)=1(b^(2))/(a^(2))and e_(2)^(2)=1(A^(2))/(B^(2))` The slope of the x+y = 3 is -1. It TOUCHES ellipses `E_(1) and E_(2)`. Therefore, `a^(2)+b^(2)=3 and A^(2)+B^(2)=3`. The COORDINATES of Q and R are `((A^(2))/(3),b^(2)/(3))and((A^(2))/(3),(B^(2))/(3))` respectively. The equation of the line passing through the centre (0, 1) of the circle and perpendicular to `x+y=3 " is " y-1=1(x-0) or x-y+1=0`. This line intersects `x+y=3` at (1, 2). Thus, the line `x+y=3` touches the circle S at (1,2). The equation of the line`x+y=3` in distance form is `(x-1)/(cos3pi/4)=(y-2)/(sin3pi//4)or(x-1)/(-1//sqrt2)=(y-2)/(1//sqrt2)` The coordinates of Q and R are given by `(x-1)/(-1//sqrt2)=(y-2)/(1//sqrt2)=(2sqrt2)/(3)and, (x-1)/(-1//sqrt2)=(y-2)/(1//sqrt2)=(2sqrt2)/(3)` respectively. The coordinates of Q and R are `(5//3,4//3)and(1//3, 8//3)` respectively. but, the coordinates of Q and R are `(a^(2)//3, b^(2)//3) and (A^(2)//3,B^(2)//3)`respectively. `therefore (a^(2))/(3)=(5)/(3),(b^(2))/(3)=(4)/(3),(A^(2))/(3)=(1)/(3) and (B^(2))/(3)=(8)/(3)` `a^(2)=5,b^(2)=4, A^(2)=1 and B^(2)=8` `therefore e_(1)^(2)=1-(4)/(5)and e_(1)^(2)=1-(1)/(8)=(7)/(8)` `rArr e_(1)^(2)+e_(2)^(2)=(43)/(40)and e_(1)e_(2)=(sqrt7)/(2sqrt10)` |
