Explanation:

$\Delta = {1 \over 2}\left| {\matrix{ 1 & 2 & 1 \cr 7 & 5 & 1 \cr 2 & 3 & 1 \cr } } \right|$
$ = {1 \over 2}[1(5 - 3) - 2(7 - 2) + 1(21 - 10)]$
$ = {1 \over 2}[2 - 10 + 11]$
$\Delta$DEF $ = {1 \over 2}(3) = {3 \over 2}$
$\Delta$ABC = 4$\Delta$DEF $ = 4\left( {{3 \over 2}} \right) = 6$
Explanation:
For minimum $(P R+R Q)$
$R$ lies on $P Q^{\prime}$ (where $Q^{\prime}$ is image of $Q$ in $X$-axis)
$\Rightarrow$ Equation on $P Q^{\prime}$ is
$ 2 x+y+2=0 \Rightarrow R(-1,0) $
$ \therefore $ 50(PR2 + RQ2)
= 50(20 + 5)
= 50(25)
= 1250
Explanation:
${\left( {\sqrt {50} } \right)^2} = {\left( {\sqrt {45} } \right)^2} + {\left( {\sqrt 5 } \right)^2}$
$\angle B = 90^\circ $
Circum-center $ = \left( {{1 \over 2},{{11} \over 2}} \right)$
Mid point of BC $ = \left( {2,{{17} \over 2}} \right)$
Line : $\left( {y - {{11} \over 2}} \right) = 2\left( {x - {1 \over 2}} \right) \Rightarrow y = 2x + {9 \over 2}$
Passing through $\left( {0,{\alpha \over 2}} \right)$
${\alpha \over 2} = {9 \over 2} \Rightarrow \alpha = 9$
Explanation:
$ \Rightarrow $ y2 = ${1 \over {{x^2}}}$
$ \Rightarrow $ y = $ \pm {1 \over x}$
Graph of this equation,
$OA \bot OB$
$ \Rightarrow \left( {{1 \over {{p^2}}}} \right)\left( { - {1 \over {{q^2}}}} \right) = - 1$
$ \Rightarrow {p^2}{q^2} = 1$
$P\left( {{{p + q} \over 2},{{{1 \over p} - {1 \over q}} \over 2}} \right)$ midpoint of AB lies
On ${x^2}{y^2} = 1$
$ \Rightarrow {(p + q)^2}{\left( {{1 \over p} - {1 \over q}} \right)^2} = 16$
$ \Rightarrow {(p + q)^2}{(p - q)^2} = 16$
$ \Rightarrow {({p^2} - {q^2})^2} = 16$
$ \Rightarrow {P^2} - {1 \over {{P^2}}} = \pm 4$
$ \Rightarrow {p^4} \pm 4{p^2} - 1 = 0$
$ \Rightarrow {p^2} = {{ \pm 4 \pm \sqrt {20} } \over 2} = \pm 2 \pm \sqrt 5 $
$ \Rightarrow {p^2} = 2 + \sqrt 5 $ or $ - 2 + \sqrt 5 $
$O{B^2} = {p^2} + {1 \over {{p^2}}} = 2 + \sqrt 5 + {1 \over {2 + \sqrt 5 }}$ or $ - 2 + \sqrt 5 + {1 \over { - 2 + \sqrt 5 }} = 2\sqrt 5 $
Area $ = 4\left( {{1 \over 2}} \right)(OA)(OB) = 2{(OB)^2} = 4\sqrt 5 $
Explanation:
$ \Rightarrow $ Centroid also lies on y-axis.
$ \Rightarrow $ $\sum {\cos \alpha = 0} $
cos$\alpha$ + cos$\beta$ + cos$\gamma$ = 0
$ \Rightarrow $ cos3 $\alpha$ + cos3 $\beta$ + cos3 $\gamma$ = 3cos$\alpha$cos$\beta$cos$\gamma$
$ \therefore $ ${{\cos 3\alpha + \cos 3\beta + \cos 3\gamma } \over {\cos \alpha \cos \beta \cos \gamma }}$
$ = {{4({{\cos }^3}\alpha + {{\cos }^3}\beta + {{\cos }^3}\gamma ) - 3(\cos \alpha + \cos \beta + \cos \gamma )} \over {\cos \alpha \cos \beta \cos \gamma }} = 12$
then, ${\left( {{{\cos 3\alpha + \cos 3\beta + \cos 3\gamma } \over {\cos \alpha \cos \beta \cos \gamma }}} \right)^2} = 144$
Explanation:
3x + 4y $ \le $ 100
4x + 3y $ \le $ 75
x $ \ge $ 0, y $ \ge $ 0
Feasible region is shown in the graph
Let maximum value of 6xy + y2 = c
For a solution with feasible region,
6xy + y2 = c and 4x + 3y = 75 must have at least one positive solution.
${y^2} + 6y\left( {{{75 - 3y} \over 4}} \right) - c = 0 $
$\Rightarrow {7 \over 2}{y^2} - {{225} \over 2}y + c = 0$
$ \Rightarrow {\left( {{{225} \over 2}} \right)^2} \ge 4.{7 \over 2}.c $
$\Rightarrow c \le {{{{225}^2}} \over {56}} \approx 904$
${L_1}:x\sqrt 2 + y - 1 = 0$ and ${L_2}:x\sqrt 2 - y + 1 = 0$
For a fixed constant $\lambda$, let C be the locus of a point P such that the product of the distance of P from L1 and the distance of P from L2 is $\lambda$2. The line y = 2x + 1 meets C at two points R and S, where the distance between R and S is $\sqrt {270} $. Let the perpendicular bisector of RS meet C at two distinct points R' and S'. Let D be the square of the distance between R' and S'.
The value of $\lambda$2 is __________.
Explanation:
$C:\left| {{{x\sqrt 2 + y - 1} \over {\sqrt 3 }}} \right|\left| {{{x\sqrt 2 - y + 1} \over {\sqrt 3 }}} \right| = {\lambda ^2}$
$ \Rightarrow C:{{\left| {{{(x\sqrt 2 )}^2} - {{(y - 1)}^2}} \right|} \over {\sqrt 3 \times \sqrt 3 }} = {\lambda ^2}$
$ \Rightarrow C:\left| {2{x^2} - {{(y - 1)}^2}} \right| = 3{\lambda ^2}$
Let R $\equiv$ (x1, y1) and S(x2, y2)
$\because$ C cuts y $-$ 1 = 2x at R and S.
So, $\left| {2{x^2} - 4{x^2}} \right| = 3{\lambda ^2}$
$ \Rightarrow x = \pm \sqrt {{3 \over 2}} \left| \lambda \right|$
$\therefore$ $\left| {{x_1} - {x_2}} \right| = \sqrt 6 \left| \lambda \right|$
and $\left| {{y_1} - {y_2}} \right| = 2\left| {{x_1} - {x_2}} \right| = 2\sqrt 6 \left| \lambda \right|$
$\because$ RS2 = 270 (given)
$ \Rightarrow {({x_1} - {x_2})^2} + {({y_1} - {y_2})^2} = 270$
$ \Rightarrow {(\sqrt 6 \lambda )^2} + {(2\sqrt 6 \left| \lambda \right|)^2} = 270$
$ \Rightarrow 30{\lambda ^2} = 270 \Rightarrow {\lambda ^2} = 9$
${L_1}:x\sqrt 2 + y - 1 = 0$ and ${L_2}:x\sqrt 2 - y + 1 = 0$
For a fixed constant $\lambda$, let C be the locus of a point P such that the product of the distance of P from L1 and the distance of P from L2 is $\lambda$2. The line y = 2x + 1 meets C at two points R and S, where the distance between R and S is $\sqrt {270} $. Let the perpendicular bisector of RS meet C at two distinct points R' and S'. Let D be the square of the distance between R' and S'.
The value of D is __________.
Explanation:
$C:\left| {{{x\sqrt 2 + y - 1} \over {\sqrt 3 }}} \right|\left| {{{x\sqrt 2 - y + 1} \over {\sqrt 3 }}} \right| = {\lambda ^2}$
$ \Rightarrow C:{{\left| {{{(x\sqrt 2 )}^2} - {{(y - 1)}^2}} \right|} \over {\sqrt 3 \times \sqrt 3 }} = {\lambda ^2}$
$ \Rightarrow C:\left| {2{x^2} - {{(y - 1)}^2}} \right| = 3{\lambda ^2}$
Let R $\equiv$ (x1, y1) and S(x2, y2)
$\because$ C cuts y $-$ 1 = 2x at R and S.
So, $\left| {2{x^2} - 4{x^2}} \right| = 3{\lambda ^2}$
$ \Rightarrow x = \pm \sqrt {{3 \over 2}} \left| \lambda \right|$
$\therefore$ $\left| {{x_1} - {x_2}} \right| = \sqrt 6 \left| \lambda \right|$
and $\left| {{y_1} - {y_2}} \right| = 2\left| {{x_1} - {x_2}} \right| = 2\sqrt 6 \left| \lambda \right|$
$\because$ RS2 = 270 (given)
$ \Rightarrow {({x_1} - {x_2})^2} + {({y_1} - {y_2})^2} = 270$
$ \Rightarrow {(\sqrt 6 \lambda )^2} + {(2\sqrt 6 \left| \lambda \right|)^2} = 270$
$ \Rightarrow 30{\lambda ^2} = 270 \Rightarrow {\lambda ^2} = 9$
Now, mid-point of RS is $\left( {{{{x_1} + {x_2}} \over 2},{{{y_1} + {y_2}} \over 2}} \right) \equiv (0,1)$ and slope of RS = 2 and slope of $R'S' = {{ - 1} \over 2}$
$\therefore$ Equation of $R'S':y - 1 = - {1 \over 2}x$ i.e. 2y $-$ 2 = $-$x
$ \Rightarrow x + 2y - 2 = 0$
On solving x + 2y $-$ 2 = 0 with C, we get
${x^2} = {{12} \over 7}{\lambda ^2} \Rightarrow \left| {{x_1} - {x_2}} \right| = 2\sqrt {{{12} \over 7}} \left| \lambda \right|$
and $\left| {{y_1} - {y_2}} \right| = {1 \over 2}\left| {{x_1} - {x_2}} \right| = \sqrt {{{12} \over 7}} \left| \lambda \right|$
Hence, $D \equiv {(R'S')^2} = {({x_1} - {x_2})^2} + {({y_1} - {y_2})^2}$
$ = {{12} \over 7} \times 9 \times 5 = {{12 \times 45} \over 7} \approx 77.14$
The point to which the origin should be shifted in order to eliminate the $x$ and $y$ terms from the equation $9 x^2+4 y^2+10 x+12 y+1=0$ is
If $A(1,3)$ and $C(7,5)$ are two opposite vertices of a square, then find the equation of a side passing through $A$.
