maths two dimensional analytical geometry pair of straight lines distances and midpoints distance formula in 2d

  1. Square

  2. Rhombus

  3. Rectangle

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

taking $y$ is constant and finding the value of$x$ by roots formula.


$12x^2+(7y)x-12y^2=0$

$x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\dfrac{(7y)-\sqrt{(7y)^2-4(-12)y^212}}{2\times 12}$

$\dfrac{\Rightarrow x=-7y\pm\sqrt{49y^2+576y^2}{}}{2\times 12}$

$\Rightarrow 24x=-7y\pm \sqrt{625}y$

$\Rightarrow 24xy=-7y\pm 25y$.........(1)

Again $12x^2+(7y-1)x+(-12y^2-1+7y)=0$

$\therefore x=\dfrac{-(7y-1)\pm\sqrt{(7y-1)^2-4}(12)(7y-1-12y^2)}{24}$

$\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{1-7y\pm\sqrt{49y^2+1-14y-336y+48+576y^2}}{24}$

$\Rightarrow 24x=1-7y\pm\sqrt{625y^2-350y+49}$

$\Rightarrow 24x=1-7y\pm (25y-7)$

$\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{1-7y\pm 25y-7}{24}$........(ii)

from (i) and (ii) we can clearly see co.efficient of $x$ and $y$ are same so slope are sample $m _1=\dfrac{24}{18},m _2=-\dfrac{24}{32}$

So $m _1m _2= -1$

$\therefore $ it is a square

maths two dimensional analytical geometry pair of straight lines distances and midpoints distance formula in 2d

  1. $k=\dfrac{91}{48}$

  2. $k=\dfrac{94}{43}$

  3. $k=\dfrac{83}{23}$

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$\Rightarrow$  The given equation is $12x^2-10y^2+11x-5y+k=0$

$\Rightarrow$  Comparing it with $ax^2+2hxy+by^2+2gx+2fy+c=0$
$\Rightarrow$  $a=12,\,b=-10,\,h=o,\,g=\dfrac{11}{2},\,f=\dfrac{-5}{2},\,c=k$
$\Rightarrow$  The condition is $abc+2fgh-af^2-bg^2-ch^2=0$
$\Rightarrow$  $12\times (-10)\times k+2\times (\dfrac{-5}{2})\times\dfrac{11}{2}\times 0-12\times (\dfrac{-5}{2})^2-(-10)\times (\dfrac{11}{2})^2-k\times (0)^2=0$
$\Rightarrow$  $-120k+0-75+\dfrac{605}{2}-0=0$
$\Rightarrow$  $\dfrac{-240k-150+605}{2}=0$
$\Rightarrow$  $-240k+455=0$
$\Rightarrow$  $k=\dfrac{455}{240}$
$\therefore$   $k=\dfrac{91}{48}$

  1. $ =6{{x}^{2}}-xy+2{{y}^{2}}\,\, $

  2. $ =6{{x}^{2}}+xy-2{{y}^{2}}\,\, $

  3. $ =6{{x}^{2}}-xy-2{{y}^{2}}\,\, $

  4. $ =6{{x}^{2}}+xy+2{{y}^{2}}\,\, $

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Part (1)

$ \left( a-2 \right)\left( a+2 \right) $

${{a}^{2}}-4$ 

Part (2)

$ \left( 3x-2y \right)\left( 2x+y \right) $

$ =6{{x}^{2}}+3xy-4xy-2{{y}^{2}} $

$ =6{{x}^{2}}-xy-2{{y}^{2}}\,\, $

Hence, this is the answer.

maths two dimensional analytical geometry pair of straight lines distances and midpoints distance formula in 2d

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Consider the equation $2{x}^{2}+6xy+{y}^{2}=0$
Equation of angle bisector is 
$\dfrac{{x}^{2}-{y}^{2}}{2-1}=\dfrac{xy}{3}$      
$\dfrac{{x}^{2}-{y}^{2}}{1}=\dfrac{xy}{3}$
$\dfrac{{x}^{2}-{y}^{2}}{xy}=\dfrac{1}{3}$         .......$(1)$
Consider the equation $4{x}^{2}+18xy+b{y}^{2}=0$
Equation of angle bisector is 
$\dfrac{{x}^{2}-{y}^{2}}{4-b}=\dfrac{xy}{9}$ 
$\dfrac{{x}^{2}-{y}^{2}}{xy}=\dfrac{4-b}{9}$      .......$(2)$
From $(1)$  and $(2)$ we have
$\dfrac{{x}^{2}-{y}^{2}}{xy}=\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{4-b}{9}$
$\Rightarrow\,\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{4-b}{9}$
$\Rightarrow\,4-b=\dfrac{9}{3}=3$
$\Rightarrow\,-b=3-4$
$\Rightarrow\,b=1$
$\therefore\,b=1$
