Determine the sine of the angle between the vectors hat-3hatj+hatk, hati+hatj+hatk

Answer»

Solution :
`|vecaxxvecb| = SQRT(16+16) = 4sqrt2`
`|veca| = sqrt(1+9+1) = sqrt(11)`
`|vecb| = sqrt3`
If `THETA` is the angle between `veca` and `vecb` then
`SINTHETA = |vecaxxvecb|/(|veca||vecb|) = (4sqrt2)/(sqrt(11)sqrt3) = (4sqrt2)/sqrt(33)`.

Consider the ellipse C:(x^(2))/(a^(2))+(y^(2))/(b^(2))=1 having its centre at the origin O and eccentricity e. Statement-1: If the normal at an end L of a Latusrectum of the ellipse C meets the major axis at G, then OG=ae^(3) Statement-2 : the normal at a point on the ellipse (x^(2))/(a^(2))+(y^(2))/(b^(2))=1 never passes through its foci.

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 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 :Let `(x_(1),y_(1))` be a point on the ellipse `(x^(2))/(a^(2))+(y^(2))/(b^(2))=1`.
Then, `alex_(1)leand -bley_(1)ltb`. The equation of the normal at `(x_(1),y_(2))" is "(a^(2)x)/(x_(1))-(b^(2)y)/(y_(1))=a^(2)-b^(2)`
It cutsx-axis at `(e^(2)x_(1),0)`. If the normal at `(x_(1),y_(1))` passes through the focus (AE, 0), then `e^(1)x_(1)=aerArrx_(1)=a` Clearly, there is alsopoint on the ellipse WHOSE x-coordinates is more than a.
Hence, the normal at any point does not pass through the focus
The coordinates of L are `(ae,b^(2)//a)`. Replacing `x_(1)` by ae, we obtain that the normal at L cuts x-axis at `G(ae^(2),0)`
`therefore OG=ae^(3)`
Thus,both the statements are true and statement-2 is a correct explanation for statement-1.
