In the rectangular Cartesian plane, the equation of a curve is given by the equation ( x2 + y2 ) 2 = 4x2y. The exhaustive set of y – coordinates of the points on this curve is given by
The equation is x + 2 ( y2 - 2y ) x2 + y4 = 0.
Put x2 = t then t2 + 2 ( y2 - 2y ) t + y2 = 0 .............. ( i )
Equation ( i ) will be non - negative roots if
4 ( y2 - 2y ) 2 - 4y2 ≥ 0
⇒ y ≤ 1
Also, y4≥ 0 and, 0 ≤ - ( y2 - 2y ) .
⇒ 0 ≤ y ≤ 2. So y ∈ [ 0, 1 ]
The correct answer is: [ 0, 1 ]
If b > a, then the equation (x– a) (x– b) – 1 = 0 has
Let, f (x) = (x - a) (x - b) - 1
⇒f (a) = -1 and f (b) = -1.
Also, The coefficient x2 = 1 > 0
Hence a and b both lie between the roots of the equation f (x) = 0.
∴ The equation ( x - a ) ( x - b) - 1 = 0 has one root
In (- ∞, a) and other in ( b, ∞ ) [ ∵ b > a ]
The correct answer is: one root in (- ∞, a) and other in (b, ∞).
If a variable plane forms a tetrahedron of constant volume 64k3 with the co-ordinate planes, then the locus of the centroid of the tetrahedron is
The distance of the point (1, 0, -3) from the plane x - y - z = 9 measured parallel to the line
PQ is any focal chord of the parabola y2 = 32x. The length of PQ can never be less than
If O is the origin and OP and OQ are the tangents from the origin to the circle x2 + y2 – 6x + 4y – 8 = 0 the circumcenter of the triangle OPQ is
We note that PQ is the chord of contact of the tangents from the origin to the circle
x2 + y2 - 6x + 4y + 8 = 0 ......(i)
Equation of PQ is 3x - 2y - 8 = 0 ......(ii)
Equation of a circle passing through the intersection of (i) and (ii) is
x2 + y2 - 6x + 4y + 8 + λ(3x - 2y - 8) = 0 ......(iii)
If this represents the circumcircle of the triangle OAB, it passes through O(0,0)
so from (iii), λ = 1,
then equation (iii) becomes x2 + y2 - 3x + 2y = 0
so that the required coordinates of the centre are
The correct answer is: ( 3/2 , – 1 )
If the tangent at the point P (x1, y1) to the parabola y2 = 4ax meets the parabola y2 = 4a(x + b) at Q and R, then the mid- point of QR is
The pair of straight lines represented by the equation 2x2 + 2y2 + 8xy + 23√x+23√y + 1 = 0 intersect at the point
if a2 + b2 – c2 – 2ab = 0 then the point of concurrency of family of straight lines ax + by + c = 0 lies on the line
(a - b)2 - c2 = 0
(a + b + c)(a - b - c ) = 0.
Line ax + by + c = 0 passes through
either of two points (1, -1) and (-1, 1 ).
The correct answer is: y = –x
