  1. $y-  3 = 0$

  2. $y + 3 = 0$

  3. $x$-axis

  4. $y$-axis

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

$9x^2+5y^2=45$


Differentiating with respect to $x$, we get,

$18x+10y\dfrac{dy}{dx}=0$

$\dfrac{dy}{dx}=-\dfrac{18x}{10y}$

Therefore, Slope of tangent at $(0,3)=\dfrac{-0}{30}=0$

Slope of normal = $\dfrac{1}{0}$

The equation of normal is :
$y-3=\dfrac{1}{0}(x-0)$
$x-0=0$
$x=0$

Find the equation of the normal to the ellipse $9x^2 + 16y^2 = 288$ at the point $(4, 3).$

  1. $4x-3y=7$

  2. $3x-4y=7$

  3. $4x+3y=7$

  4. $3x+4y=7$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Given ellipse may be written as, $\displaystyle \frac{x^2}{32}+\frac{y^2}{18}=1$
$\Rightarrow a^2 = 32, b^2 = 18$
Hence required normal at $(4,3)$ is given by,
$\displaystyle y-3=\frac{3\times 32}{4\times 18}(x-4)\Rightarrow y-3=\frac{4}{3}(x-4)\Rightarrow 4x-3y=7$

Explanation:

Ellipse:$\cfrac { { x }^{ 2 } }{ a^{ 2 } } +\cfrac { { y }^{ 2 } }{ { b^{ 2 } } } =$

ends of L.R in 1st and 4th quadrant is $L(ae,\cfrac { b^{ 2 } }{ a } )$ and $L'(ae,\cfrac { -b^{ 2 } }{ a } )$
equation of normal at $L$ and $L'$
at $L$, $\Rightarrow \cfrac { a^{ 2 }x }{ ae } -\cfrac { b^{ 2 }y }{ \cfrac { b^{ 2 } }{ a }  } =a^{ 2 }-b^{ 2 }$
$ \Rightarrow ax-aey=e(a^{ 2 }-b^{ 2 })$
$ \Rightarrow x-ey=\cfrac { a^{ 2 } }{ a } (e^{ 2 })(e)$
$ \Rightarrow x-ey-ae^{ 3 }=0---(i)$
at $L'$ $\Rightarrow \cfrac { a^{ 2 }x }{ ae } -\cfrac { b^{ 2 }y }{ -\cfrac { b^{ 2 } }{ a }  } =a^{ 2 }e^{ 2 }$
$\Rightarrow x+ey-ae^{ 3 }=0---(ii)$

  3. $y+3x\pm 3 =0$

  4. $y+3x\pm 1 =0$

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

If $y=mx+c$ is normal to ellipse
${ c }^{ 2 }={ m }^{ 2 }\cfrac { { \left( { a }^{ 2 }-{ b }^{ 2 } \right)  }^{ 2 } }{ { a }^{ 2 }+{ b }^{ 2 }{ m }^{ 2 } } $
${ x }^{ 2 }+3{ y }^{ 2 }=3$
$\cfrac { { x }^{ 2 } }{ 3 } +\cfrac { { y }^{ 2 } }{ 12 } =1$
${ a }^{ 2 }=3,b=1$
$y+3x=c$
$m=-3$
${ c }^{ 2 }={ (-3) }^{ 2 }\cfrac { { \left( { a }^{ 2 }-{ b }^{ 2 } \right)  }^{ 2 } }{ { a }^{ 2 }+{ b }^{ 2 }{ m }^{ 2 } } =9\times \cfrac { { (3-1) }^{ 2 } }{ 3+9 } $
$=\cfrac { 9\times 4 }{ 12 } =3$

The domain of $f(x)=\dfrac 1{\sqrt {x-[x]}}$ is 
maths ellipse normal to an ellipse tangent and normal to an ellipse two dimensional analytical geometry-ii

  1. $R$

  2. $Z$

  3. $R-Z$

  4. $None\ of\ these$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The function is defined as 

$f(x)=\dfrac 1{\sqrt {x-[x]}}$

The function is not defined if

$\sqrt {x-[x]}=0$

$\implies x-[x]=0$

$\implies x=[x]$

This happens only in the case of Integers 

So The function is not defined at Integer Values

Hence , The Domain of function is $R-Z$
