A line y=mx +1 intersects the circle (x-3)^2+(y+2)^2=25 at the points P and Q . If the midpoint of the line segment PQ has x-coordinate -(3)/(5), then which one of the following options is correct ?

Answer»

`6 le m LT 8`
`-3le m lt -1`
`4le m lt 6`
`2le m lt 4`

Solution :(Key idea : FIRSTLY find the centre of the given circle and write the coordinate of mid point (A),of line sequment PQ, since `Acbot PQ` THEREFORE use (slope of AC)x(slope of PQ)`=-1`.
It is given that points P and Q are intersecting points of circle.
`(x-3)^2+(y+2)^2=25` .....(i)
Line `"" y=mx+1 "".....(ii)`
And , the mid -point of PQ is A having x-coordinate `(-3)/(5)` so y-coordinate is `1-(3)/(5)m`.
So, `A(-(3)/(5),1-(3)/(5)M)`
From the figure,
`because AC BOT PQ`

`rArr` (slope of AC)x (slope of PQ)` =-1`.
`rArr ((-2-1+(3)/(5m))/(3+(3)/(5)))xxm=-I`
`rArr 3m^2-15m+18=0`
`rArr m=2or 3`.

Assuming the validity of the operations on the r.h.s. find dy/dt y = sqrt[[sin x + sqrt{{sin x + sqrt((sin x + ........)}])}]

Answer»

SOLUTION :`y = {sqrt [SIN + sqrt {sin x +1........]}}`
sqrt(sin x + y)
IMPLIES y^2 + sin x + y implies 2Y (dy)/(DX) = cos x + dy/dx
implies (2y-1) dy/dx = cos x implies dy/dx = cos x/(2y-1)`

Locus of perpendicular from center upon normal to the hyperbola (x^(2))/(a^(2)) -(y^(2))/(b^(2)) =1 is

Answer»

`(x^(2)-+y^(2))^(2)((a^(2))/(x^(2))+(b^(2))/(y^(2))) =(a^(2)-b^(2))^(2)`
`(x^(2)+y^(2))^(2)((a^(2))/(x^(2))-(b^(2))/(y^(2)))=(a^(2)+b^(2))^(2)`
`(x^(2)+y^(2))^(2) ((x^(2))/(a^(2))-(y^(2))/(b^(2))) =(a^(2)+b^(2))^(2)`
None of these

Solution :Let the FOOT of perpendicular from center upon any normal be `P(h,k)` Then EQUATION of normal to hyperbola is
`(y-k) =- (h)/(k) (x-h)`
or `HX + ky = h^(2) +k^(2)` (1)
Also normal at any point `R(a sec theta, tan theta)` on the hyperbola is
`(ax)/(sec theta) +(by)/(tan theta) = a^(2) + b^(2)` (2)
Comparing ratio coefficients of equations (1) and (2),
We get `((a)/(sec theta))/(h)=((b)/(tan theta))/(k) =(a^(2)+b^(2))/(h^(2)+k^(2))`
`rArr sec theta = (a(h^(2)+k^(2)))/(h(a^(2)+b^(2)))` and `tan theta = (b(h^(2)+k^(2)))/(k(a^(2)+b^(2)))`
Squaring and subtracting `(x^(2)+y^(2))^(2) ((a^(2))/(x^(2))-(b^(2))/(y^(2))) = (a^(2)+b^(2))^(2)`
