Since the given points lie on the line lx+my+n=0, a,b,c are the roots of the equation
`l((t^(3))/(t-1)) + m((t^(3)-3)/(t-1))+n=0`
`"or " l t^(3) +mt^(2) + nt-(3m+n) = 0 " " (1)`
`"Hence, "a+b+c = -(m)/(l)`
`ab+bc+ca = (n)/(l)" " (2)`
`abc = (3m+n)/(l) " " (3)`
So, from (1), (2), and (3), we get
abc-(bc+ca+ab)+3(a+b+c)=0`

Find the equation of the line passing through the point of intersection of the lines `4x+7y-3=0 and 2x-3y+1=0`, which has equal intercepts on the axes.

Answer» Let the point equation of the required line be `(x)/(a)+(y)/(a)=1`
i.e. x+y=a …..(i)
The equation of the given line are
`4x+7y=3......(i)`
`2x-3y=-1......(ii)`
On solving (ii) and (iii), we get `x=(1)/(13), y=(5)/(13)`
So, the point of intersection of the given line is `P((1)/(13),(5)/(13))`
Putting `x=(1)/(13) and y=(5)/(13)` in (i), we get `a=((1)/(13)+(5)/(13))=(6)/(13)`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Let `m_(1)` and `m_(2)` be the slopes of lines L and K respectively. Then, `m_(1)=-(b)/(5) and m_(2)=-(3)/(c)`
It is given that the lines L and K are parallel.
`m_(1)=m_(2)`
`implies -(b)/(5)=-(3)/(c)implies bc=15`
Line L passes through the point (13, 32).
`therefore (13)/(5)=(32)/(b)=1implies b=-20`
`therefore ` bc =15 `implies c=-(3)/(4)`
Hence , the equations of lines L and K are `4x-y-20=0` and `4x-y+3=0`
`therefore ` Distance between L and K `=(23)/(sqrt(16+1))=(23)/(sqrt(17))`

Incentre of the triangle is the point which is equidistant from all the sides of triangle.
Clearly, distance of origin from all the three given lines is `pi`.
Also, (0,0) is interior point of triangle which can be verified by drawing lines on the plane.
So, incentre of the triangle is (0,0).

Let foot of perpendicular from A(1, 1) on the line x+y=0 be M(h,k).
`(h-1)/(1) = (k-1)/(1) = (-(1+1))/(2)`
`therefore M-=(h,k)-=(0,0)`
Since triangle is equilateral, AM is median, altitude and angle bisector.
`AM= sqrt((1-0)^(2)+(1-0)^(2)) = sqrt(2)`
Incentre coincides with centroid G such that AG `=(2)/(3)sqrt(2)`.

The line L given by `x/5+y/b=1`passes through the point (13,32). The line K is parallel to L and has the equation `x/c+y/3=1`Then the distance between L andK is(1) `sqrt(17)`(2) `(17)/(sqrt(15))`(3) `(23)/(sqrt(17))`(4) `(23)/(sqrt(15))`

Answer» `K || L`
`L: x/5 + y/b = 1`
`L(13,32) = 13/5 + 32/b = 1`
`32/b = 1- 13/5`
`32/b = -8/5`
`b= -32 xx5/8 = -20`
`x/5 - y/20 = 1`
`y = 20 x/5 -20 =4x - 20`
slope of L=`4`
slope of K=`4`
`x/c + y/3 = 1`
`y = -x/c 3 + 3`
`=> -3/c = 4`
`c= -3/4`
k: `y= 4x + 3`
distance= `|(c_1 - c_2)/(sqrt(a^2 + b^2))| = |(-20-3)/(sqrt(1+16))|`

The x-coordinate of the incentre of the trianglethat has the coordinates of mid points of its sides as (0, 1), (1, 1) and (1,0) is(1) `2-sqrt(2)`(2) `1+sqrt(2)`(3) `1-sqrt(2)`(4) `2+sqrt(2)`

Answer» `0 = (a+x)/2`
`x=-a`
`1= (b+y)/2`
`y= 2-b`
now,` 1= (-a + 2 -a)/2`
`2 = -2a + 2`
`a= 0`
& `4-2b = 0`
`b=2`
`AC= sqrt((0-2)^2 + (2-0)^2) = sqrt 8 `
`I_n = (ax_1 + bx_2 + c x_3)/(a+b+c)`
where, a,b,c are length of the sides & `x_1, x_2 , x_3` are opposite vertex coordinates
so,` (2 xx 2 + 2 xx 0 + sqrt8 xx 0)/(2 + 2 + sqrt8)`
`= 4/(4 + 2 sqrt2) xx (4 - 2sqrt 2)/(4 - 2sqrt 2)`
`= (16- 8 sqrt2)/(16- 8)`
`= (16- 8 sqrt2)/8`
`= (4-2sqrt2)/2 = 2 - sqrt2`
option 1 is correct

Reduce the equation `sqrt3y+y+2=0` to (i) slope-intercept form and final the slope and y-intercept. (ii) intercepts form and find the intercepts on the axes.

Answer» We have
`(i)sqrt3x+y+2=0 Rightarrow y=-sqrt3x-2`
This is of the form `y=mx+c," where "m=-sqrt3 and c=-2`
`therefore y=-sqrt3-2` in the slope-intercept form.
Here, slope=`-sqrt3` and y-intercept=-2.
(ii) `sqrt3+y+2=0 Rightarrow sqrt3+y=-2`
`Rightarrow ((sqrt3)/(-2))x+((1)/(-2))y=1`
`Rightarrow (x)/(((-2)/(sqrt3)))+(y)/(-2)=1`
This is of the form `(x)/(a)+(y)/(b)=1,` where `a=(-2)/(sqrt3) and b=-2`
Thus, `Rightarrow (x)/(((-2)/(sqrt3)))+(y)/(-2)=1` is intercepts form.
Here, x-intercept=`(-2)/(sqrt3)` and y-intercept=-2

Let `A3(0,4) and Bs(21,0) in R`. Let the perpendicular bisector of AB at M meet the y-axis at R. Then the locus of midpoint P of MR is `y=x^2 + 21`A. `x^(2) + y^(2) = (1)/(4) `B. `(y-2)^(2) - x^(2) = 4 `C. ` y + x^(2) = 2`D. `3x^(2) + y^(2) = 8`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
The equation of MR is
`y - 2 = (t)/(2) (x - t) implies tx - 2y + 4 -t^(2) = 0`
It cuts y-axis at `( 0 , 2 - (t^(2))/(2))`
Let P , (h , k) be the mid-point of MR . Then ,
` h = (0 + t)/(2) , k = ( 2 - (t^(2))/(2) + 2)/(2)`
`implies t = 2h , k = 2 - (t^(2))/(4) implies k = 2 - h^(2) implies h^(2) + k = 2`
Hence , the locus of (h , k) is `x^(2) + y = 2`.

If the straight line `a x+c y=2b ,`where `a , b , c >0,`makes a triangle of area 2 sq. units with the coordinate axes, then`a , b , c`are in GPa, -b; c are in GP`a ,2b ,c`are in GP (d) `a ,-2b ,c`are in GPA. a,b,c are in GPB. a,-b, c are in GPC. a,2b,c are in GPD. a,-2b, c are in GP

Answer» Correct Answer - A::B
The area of the triangle is given by
`(1)/(2) xx (2b)/(a) xx (2b)/(c) = (2b^(2))/(ac) = 2`
`"or " b^(2) = ac`
Therefore, a,b,c are in GP. So, a,-b, c are alos in GP.

Find the equation of the bisector of the obtuse angle between the lines`3x-4y+7=0`and `12 x+5y-2=0.`

Answer» Correct Answer - 21x+77y-101=0
Firstly, make the constant terms `(c_(1), c_(2))` positive.
3x-4y+7 = 0
and -12x-5y+2=0
`therefore a_(1)a_(2) + b_(1)b_(2) = (3)(-12) + (-4)(-5)`
=-36+20=-16
Hence, "-" sign gives the obtuse bisector.
Therefore, the obtuse bisector is
`((3x-4y+7))/(sqrt((3)^(2) + (-4)^(2))) = ((-12x-5y+2))/(sqrt((-12)^(2) + (-5)^(2)))`
or 13(3x-4y+7) = -5(-12x-5y+2)
or 21x+77y-101 =0
