Answer»

SOLUTION :`int sin^-1((2x)/(1+X^2)) dx`
=`int 2 tan^-1x dx = 2int 1 XX tan^-1 x dx`
=`2[tan^-1x xx x-int 1/(1+x^2) dx]`
`2[x tan^-1 x -1/2 int(2x)/(1+x^2) dx]`
=`2 [x tan^-1x -1/2 log (1+x^2)]+c`
=`2 x tan^-1x -log(11+x^2)+c`

Let F_(1)(x_(1),0)and F_(2)(x_(2),0)" for "x_(1)lt0 and x_(2)gt0 the foci of the ellipse (x^(2))/(9)+(y^(2))/(8)=1. Suppose a parabola having vertex at the origin and focus at F_(2) intersects the ellipse at point M in the first quadrant and ata point N in the fourth quardant. The orthocentre of the triangle F_(1)MN, is

Answer»

`(-(9)/(10),0)`
`((2)/(3),0)`
`((9)/(10),0)`
`((9)/(10),0)`

SOLUTION :For the ellipse `(X^(2))/(9)+(y^(2))/(8)=1` we find that `a^(2)=9, b^(2)=8`
`therefore e-sqrt(1-(b^(2))/(a^(2)))-sqrt(1-(8)/(9))=(1)/(3)`.
So, the coordinates of foci are `F_(1)(-1,0)` and `F_(2)(1, 0)`. Theequation of the PARABOLA having vertex at theorigin and focusat `F_(2)(1, 0) is y^(2)=4x`.
Solving `(x^(2))/(9)+(y^(2))/(8)=1 and y^(2)=4x`, we find that the coordinates of M and N are `((3)/(2),sqrt6) and ((3)/(2),-sqrt6)` respectively.
Clearly, ALTITUDE through `F_(1) " of " F_(1)MN` is a x-axis i.e. y = 0.
the equation of the altitude through `M((3)/(2),sqrt6)`is
`y-sqrt6=(5)/(2sqrt6)(x-(3)/(2))`
Solving the equation with y = 0, we obtain `(-9//10, 0)` the orthocentre of `DeltaF_(1)MN`.
