Exercise
Question 1.

Find the equation of the circle which touches the both axes in first quadrant and whose radius is a.


Answer:

the circle touches both the x and y axes in the first quadrant and the radius is a.



For a circle of radius a, the centre is (a,a).


The equation of a circle having centre (h,k), having radius as "r" units, is


(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2


Therefore, the equation of the circle becomes (x – a)2 + (y – a)2 = a2


x2 - 2ax + a2 + y2 - 2ay + a2 - a2 = 0


x2 - 2ax + y2 - 2ay + a2 = 0



Question 2.

Show that the point (x, y) given by and lies on a circle for all real values of t such that –1 ≤ t ≤1 where a is any given real numbers.


Answer:


Squaring both the equations,



Adding both the equations,








x2+y2= a2


The equation of a circle having centre (h,k), having radius as "r" units, is


(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2


Centre = (0, 0) Radius = a units


Hence proved.



Question 3.

If a circle passes through the point (0, 0) (a, 0), (0, b) then find the coordinates of its centre.


Answer:

The equation of a circle having centre (h,k), having radius as "r" units, is


(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2



Putting the values of given co-ordinates in the above expression,


(0,0)


(0 – h)2 + (0 – k)2 = r2


h2 + k2 = r2


(a,0)


(a – h)2 + (0 – k)2 = r2


a2 + h2 - 2ah + k2 = r2 ------ (1)


(0,b)


(0 – h)2 + (b – k)2 = r2


h2 + b2 + k2 - 2bk = r2 ------- (2)


On solving equations (1) & (2), respectively,


a (a – 2h) = 0


b (b – 2k) = 0


So,


a = 0 or 2h


b = 0 or 2k respectively.


Since the circle passes through the centre (0,0), so the co – ordinates are


a = 2h,


b = 2k,


Th co – ordinates of the centre are .



Question 4.

Find the equation of the circle which touches x-axis and whose centre is (1, 2).


Answer:

Since the circle has a centre (1,2) and also touches x-axis.


Radius of the circle is, r = 2


The equation of a circle having centre (h,k), having radius as "r" units, is


(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2


So, the equation of the required circle is:


(x – 1)2 + (y – 2)2 = 22


⇒x2 - 2x + 1 + y2 - 4y + 4 = 4


⇒ x2 + y2 – 2x - 4y + 1 = 0


The equation of the circle is x2 + y2 – 2x - 4y + 1 = 0.



Question 5.

If the lines 3x – 4y + 4 = 0 and 6x – 8y – 7 = 0 are tangents to a circle, then find the radius of the circle.


Answer:

Since both lines are parallel & tangent to the circle. Then distance between these two lines must be the diameter of the circle.


Lines:


3x - 4y + 4 = 0


3x - 4y - 3.5 = 0 (Equating the co-efficient of the equation)


Distance (between 2 lines) = for the two given equations,


ax + by + c = 0 &ax + by + p = 0


Distance = = units


Radius =


=0.75 units.


Hence, the radius of the circle is 0.75 units.



Question 6.

Find the equation of a circle which touches both the axes and the line 3x – 4y + 8 = 0and lies in the third quadrant.


Answer:

As the circle lies in third quadrant, then the centre is (-a, -a).


Perpendicular Distance (Between a point and line) = , whereas the point is and the line is expressed as ax + by + c = 0


The line which touches the circle is 3x−4y+8=0, which is a tangent to the circle.


∴ The perpendicular distance = a units (radius of the circle)










Co-ordinates of the centre of the circle = (-2,-2)


Since, the equation of a circle having centre (h,k), having radius as "r" units, is


(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2


(x – (-2))2 + (y – (-2))2 = 22


(x + 2)2 + (y + 2)2 = 4


x2 + 4x + 4 + y2 + 4y + 4 - 4 = 0


x2 + y2 + 4x + 4y + 4 = 0


The equation of the given circle is x2 + y2 + 4x + 4y + 4 = 0.



Question 7.

If one end of a diameter of the circle x2 + y2 – 4x – 6y + 11 = 0 is (3, 4), then find the coordinate of the other end of the diameter.


Answer:

Equation of the circle,


x2 - 4x + y2 - 6y + 11 = 0


x2 - 4x + 4 + y2 - 6y + 9 +11 – 13 = 0


x2 - 2(2)x + 22 + y2 - 2(3)y + 32 +11 – 13 = 0


(x – 2)2 + (y – 3)2 = 2


(x – 2)2 + (y – 3)2 = (√2)2


Since, the equation of a circle having centre (h,k), having radius as "r" units, is


(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2


Centre = (2,3)


the centre point is the mid-point of the two ends of the diameter of a circle.


Let the points be (p,q)



p + 3 = 4 & q + 4 = 6


p = 1 & q = 2


Hence, the other ends of the diameter are (1,2).



Question 8.

Find the equation of the circle having (1, –2) as its centre and passing through3x + y = 14, 2x + 5y = 18


Answer:

Solving the given equations,


3x + y = 14 ------- (1)


2x + 5y = 18 ------- (2)


Multiplying the first equation by 5,


15x + 5y = 70


2x + 5y = 18


13 x = 52, x = 4Putting x = 4, in first equation,


3(4) + y = 14


Y = 14 – 12 = 2


So, the point of intersection is (4,2)


Since, the equation of a circle having centre (h,k), having radius as "r" units, is


(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2


Putting the values of (4,2) and centre co-ordinates (1,-2) in the above expression,


(4 – 1)2 + (2 – (-2))2 = r2


32 + 42 = r2


r2 = 9 + 16 = 25


r = 5 units


So, the expression is


(x – 1)2 + (y – (-2))2 = 52


x2 - 2x + 1 + (y + 2)2 = 25


x2 - 2x + 1 + y2 + 4y + 4 = 25


x2 - 2x + y2 + 4y – 20 = 0


Hence the required expression is x2 - 2x + y2 + 4y – 20 = 0.



Question 9.

If the line touches the circle x2 + y2 = 16, then find the value of k.


Answer:

Since, the equation of a circle having centre (h,k), having radius as "r" units, is


(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2


(x – 0)2 + (y – 0)2 = 42


Perpendicular Distance between a point (0, 0) & the line or


Perpendicular Distance (Between a point and line) = , whereas the point is and the line is expressed as ax + by + c = 0



(Radius = 4, Given)



Hence, the required value of k is 8.



Question 10.

Find the equation of a circle concentric with the circle x2 + y2 – 6x + 12y + 15 = 0 and has double of its area.


Answer:

Equation of the circle,


x2 - 6x + y2 + 12y + 15 = 0


x2 - 2(3)x + 32 + y2 + 2(6)y + 62 + 15 – 9 + 36 = 0


(x – 3)2 + (y-(-6))2 - 30 = 0


(x – 3)2 + (y-(-6))2 = (√30)2


Since, the equation of a circle having centre (h,k), having radius as "r" units, is


(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2


Centre = (3,-6)


Area of inner circle = units square


Area of outer circle = units square {Given}


So,



r2 = 60


Equation of outer circle is,


(x – 3)2 + (y-(-6))2 = (√60)2


x2 - 6x + 9 + y2 - 12 y + 36 = 60


x2 - 6x + y2 +12y +45 – 60 = 0


x2 - 6x + y2 + 12y – 15 = 0


Hence, the required equation of the circle is x2 - 6x + y2 + 12y – 15 = 0.



Question 11.

If the latus rectum of an ellipse is equal to half of minor axis, then find its eccentricity.


Answer:

Equation of an ellipse = , whereas


Length of latus rectum =


Length of minor axis = 2b


So,


{Given}


Ab = 2b2


2b2 – ab = 0


b (2b - a) = 0


So, b = 0 or a = 2b


b2 = a2 (1 - e2)


b2 = (2b)2 (1 - e2)


b2 = 4b2 (1 - e2)





Hence, the eccentricity is .



Question 12.

Given the ellipse with equation 9x2 + 25y2 = 225, find the eccentricity and foci.


Answer:

Equation of an ellipse = , whereas


Length of latus rectum =


Length of minor axis = 2b


9x2 + 25y2 = 225


Dividing the equation by 225,




a = 5, b = 3


b2 = a2 (1 - e2)


32 = 52 (1 - e2)






Foci = (±ae,0)


=


Hence, the eccentricity is and foci is (±4,0).



Question 13.

If the eccentricity of an ellipse is 5/8 and the distance between its foci is 10, then find latus rectum of the ellipse.


Answer:

Equation of an ellipse = , whereas


Length of latus rectum =


Length of minor axis = 2b



Foci = (±ae,0)


Distance between foci = 10 (Given)


2ae = 10



a = 8


b2 = a2 (1 - e2)





Length of Latus Rectum =


Hence, the length of latus rectum is 9.75 units.



Question 14.

Find the equation of ellipse whose eccentricity is 2/3 , latus rectum is 5 and thecentre is (0, 0).


Answer:

Equation of an ellipse = , whereas


Length of latus rectum =


Length of minor axis = 2b



b2 = a2 (1 - e2) --------- (i)


Length of Latus Rectum =


b2 = 2.5 a --------- (ii)


[Putting the values in equation (i)]




22.5 a = 5a2


5a2 - 22.5a = 0


5a (a – 4.5) = 0


a = 0 {Not Possible, as the length of latus rectum is 5 units} or 4.5


[Putting the values in equation (ii)]


Equation of an ellipse =



Equation of an ellipse is



Question 15.

Find the distance between the directrices of the ellipse x2/36 + y2/20 = 1


Answer:

Equation of an ellipse = , whereas


Length of latus rectum =


Length of minor axis = 2b


b2 = a2 (1 - e2) --------- (i)




From equation (i),


20 = 36 (1 - e2)






Directrices =


Distance between directrices =


Hence the distance between directrices is 18 units.



Question 16.

Find the coordinates of a point on the parabola y2 = 8x whose focal distance is 4.


Answer:

Equation of an ellipse is y2 = 4ax, whereas


Length of latus rectum = 4a


Comparing the equations,


4a = 8


a = 2


y2= 8×2 = 16


Y = ± 4 & x = 2


Hence the co - ordinates are (2,4) & (2, -4).



Question 17.

Find the length of the line-segment joining the vertex of the parabola y2 = 4axand a point on the parabola where the line-segment makes an angle q to the x-axis.


Answer:

Equation of an ellipse is y2 = 4ax, whereas


Length of latus rectum = 4a


Let the point on parabola be (i,j)


From the figure, slope of OP =



[Squaring the above mentioned equation] ------- (i)


j2 = 4ai------- (ii)









Equating the equations, {(i) & (ii)}





i = 0 (not Possible) or



Now OP =


Hence, the length of line segment is units.



Question 18.

If the points (0, 4) and (0, 2) are respectively the vertex and focus of a parabola, then find the equation of the parabola.


Answer:

Vertex = (0,4) Focus = (0,2)


So, the directrix of the parabola is y = 6,


Since, Distance of (x, y) from (0, 2) and perpendicular distance from (x, y) to directrix are always equal.


Using Distance Formula & Perpendicular Distance Formula,


Perpendicular Distance (Between a point and line) = , whereas the point is and the line is expressed as ax + by + c = 0 i.e.., PM x(0) + y – 6 = 0 & (x, y)


Distance between the point of intersection & centre = [Distance Formula]



Squaring both the sides,



x2 + y2 - 4y + 4 = y2 - 12y + 36


x2 + 8y – 32 = 0


Hence, the required equation is x2 + 8y – 32 = 0.



Question 19.

If the line y = mx + 1 is tangent to the parabola y2 = 4x then find the value of m.


Answer:

Solving the given equations,


y = mx + 1 & y2 = 4x


(mx + 1)2 = 4x


m2x2 + 2mx + 1 = 4x


m2x2 + 2mx – 4x + 1 = 0


m+x2 + x (2m – 4) + 1 = 0


As the line touches the parabola, above equation must have equal roots,


Discriminant (D) = 0


(2m – 4)2 - 4 (m2) (1) = 0


4m2 - 16m + 16 – 4m2 = 0


-16 m + 16 = 0


- m + 1 = 0


m = 1


Hence, the required value of m is 1.



Question 20.

If the distance between the foci of a hyperbola is 16 and its eccentricity is , then obtain the equation of the hyperbola.


Answer:

Equation of Hyperbola =


Foci = (±ae, 0)


Distance between foci is 2ae = 16 (given)


e = √2


2 × a × √2 = 16



b2 = a2 (e2 - 1)




Equation is



Question 21.

Find the eccentricity of the hyperbola 9y2 – 4x2 = 36.


Answer:

9y2 - 4x2 = 36


Dividing the equation by 36,




Equation of Hyperbola =


Comparing the equations,


a = 2 & b = 3


b2 = a2 (e2 - 1)


32 = (2)2[(e)2 - 1)]


9 = 4 (e2 - 1)





Hence, the eccentricity of given hyperbola is .



Question 22.

Find the equation of the hyperbola with eccentricity 3/2 and foci at (± 2, 0).


Answer:


Foci = (± ae,0) = (± 2, 0)


the hyperbola lies on x – axis,


Equation is


ae = 2 (given)




b2 = a2 (e2 - 1)




Equation is



Hence, the required equation is



Question 23.

If the lines 2x – 3y = 5 and 3x – 4y = 7 are the diameters of a circle of area 154square units, then obtain the equation of the circle.


Answer:

Since, diameters of a circle intersect at the centre of a circle,


2x – 3y = 5 -------- (i)


3x – 4y = 7 -------- (ii)


Solving the above mentioned equations,


6x – 9y = 15 [Multiplying equation (i) by 3}


6x – 8y = 14 [Multiplying equation (ii) by 2}


y = 1


y = -1


Putting y = -1, in equation (i)


2x – 3(-1) = 5


2x + 3 = 5


2x = 2


x = 1


Coordinates of centre = (1,-1)


Area = (Given)




r = 7 units


Since, the equation of a circle having centre (h,k), having radius as "r" units, is


(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2


(x – 1)2 + (y – (-1))2 = 72


x2 - 2x +1 + (y + 1)2 = 49


x2 - 2x + 1 + y2 + 2y + 1 – 49 = 0


x2 - 2x + y2 + 2y – 47 = 0


Hence the required equation of the given circle is x2 - 2x + y2 + 2y – 47 = 0.



Question 24.

Find the equation of the circle which passes through the points (2, 3) and (4, 5)and the centre lies on the straight line y – 4x + 3 = 0.


Answer:

Since, the equation of a circle having centre (h,k), having radius as "r" units, is


(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2----------- (A)


Putting (2,3) & (4,5) in the above equation,


(2 – h)2 + (3 – k)2 = r2


4 – 4h + h2 + 9 + k2 - 6k = r2


h2 - 4h + k2 - 6k + 13 = r2 --------- (i)


(4 – h)2 + (5 – k)2 = r2


16 – 8h + h2 + 25 + k2 - 10k = r2


h2 - 8h + k2 - 10k + 41 = r2 --------- (ii)


Equating both the equations (i) & (ii), as their RHS are equal,


h2 - 4h + k2 - 6k + 13 = h2 - 8h + k2 - 10k + 41


8h - 4h + 10k – 6k = 41 – 13


4h + 4k = 28


h + k = 7 ------- (iii)


As centre lies on the given line, so it satisfies the values too,


k – 4h + 3 = 0 ---------- (iv)


Solving equations {(iii) & (iii)} simultaneously,


h + k = 7


-4h + k = -3


Subtracting both the equations,


(+) (-) (+)


5h = 10


h = 2


2 + k = 7


k = 5


Putting h = 2 & k = 5 in equation (i),


h2 - 4h + k2 - 6k + 13 = r2


22 - 4(2) + 52 - 6(5) + 13 = r2


4 – 8 + 25 – 30 + 13 = r2


r2 = 4


r = 2 units


Putting the values of h = 2, k = 5 & r = 2, respectively in equation (A),


(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2


(x – 2)2 + (y – 5)2 = 22


x2 - 4x + 4 + y2 - 10y + 25 = 4


x2 - 4x + y2 - 10y + 25 =0


Hence, the required equation is x2 - 4x + y2 - 10y + 25 =0.



Question 25.

Find the equation of a circle whose centre is (3, –1) and which cuts off a chord of length 6 units on the line 2x – 5y + 18 = 0.


Answer:

As the equation of the chord is,


2x – 5y + 18 = 0 ------- (i)


5y = 2x + 18



As, y = mx + C


Whereas, m is the slope of the line,



Slope of the line perpendicular to the chord,



As the product of slope of perpendicular lines = -1,


y - y1 = m' (x - x1)



2y + 2 = -5x + 15


5x + 2y = 13 ------- (ii) [Equation of line passing from centre and cutting the chord]


Solving both the equations,


2x – 5y = -18 & 5x + 2y = 13


Multiplying the eq. (i) & eq. (ii) by 2 & 5 respectively,


4x – 10y = -36


25x + 10y = 65


29x = 29


x = 1


2(1) – 5y = -18


2 – 5y + 18 = 0


5y = 20


y = 4


Point of intersection @ chord and radius = (1,4)


Distance between the point of intersection & centre = [Distance Formula]






=√29 units


Using Pythagoras Theorem,


(Hypotenuse)2 = (Base)2 + (Perpendicular)2


= (3)2 + (√29)2 = 29 + 9


= √38


Hypotenuse = √38 units (radius)


Since, the radius bisects the chord into two equal halves,


Since, the equation of a circle having centre (h,k), having radius as "r" units, is


(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2


(x – 3)2 + (y –(-1))2 = (√38)2


x2 - 6x + 9 + (y + 1)2 = 38


x2 - 6x + y2 + 2y + 1 + 9- 38 = 0


x2 - 6x + y2 + 2y – 28 = 0
Hence, the required equation of the circle is x2 - 6x + y2 + 2y – 28 = 0.



Question 26.

Find the equation of a circle of radius 5 which is touching another circlex2 + y2 – 2x – 4y – 20 = 0 at (5, 5).


Answer:

x2 - 2x + y2 - 4y – 20 = 0


x2 - 2x + 1 +y2 - 4y +4 – 20 – 5 = 0


(x – 1)2 + (y – 2)2 = 25


(x – 1)2 + (y – 2)2 = 52


Since, the equation of a circle having centre (h,k), having radius as "r" units, is


(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2


Centre = (1, 2)


Point of Intersection = (5, 5)


It intersects the line into 1: 1, as the radius of both the circles is 5 units.


Using Ratio Formula,



Ratio = m1 : m2


Assuming the co-ordinates of the centre of the circle be (p,q)






p + 1 = 10, q + 2 = 10


p = 9 & q = 8


Co-ordinates = (9,8)


Equation is,


(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2


(x – 9)2 + (y – 8)2 = 52


x2 - 18x + 81 + y2 - 16y + 64 = 25


x2 - 18x + y2 - 16y + 145 – 25 = 0


x2 - 18x + y2 - 16y + 120 = 0


Hence, the required equation is x2 - 18x + y2 - 16y + 120 = 0.



Question 27.

Find the equation of a circle passing through the point (7, 3) having radius 3 units and whose centre lies on the line y = x – 1.


Answer:

Since, the equation of a circle having centre (h,k), having radius as "r" units, is


(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2Centre lies on the line i.e., y = x – 1,


Co – Ordinates are (h, k) = (h, h – 1)


(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2


(7 – h)2 + (3 – (h – 1))2 = 32


49 + h2 - 14h + (3 – h +1)2 = 9


h2 - 14h + 49 +16 +h2 - 8h – 9 = 0


2h2 - 22h + 56 = 0


h2 - 11h + 28 = 0


h2 - 4h – 7h + 28 = 0


h (h – 4) – 7 (h – 4) = 0


(h – 7) (h – 4) = 0


h = 7 or 4


Centre = (7, 6) or (4, 3)


(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2


Equation, having centre (7, 6)


(x – 7)2 + (y – 6)2 = 32


x2 - 14x + 49 + y2 - 12y + 36 – 9 = 0


x2 - 14x + y2 - 12y + 76 = 0


Equation, having centre (4, 3)


(x – 4)2 + (y – 3)2 = 32


x2 - 8x + 16 + y2 - 6y + 9 – 9 = 0


x2 - 8x + y2 - 6y + 16 = 0


Hence, the required equation is x2 - 14x + y2 - 12y + 76 = 0 or x2 - 8x + y2 - 6y + 16 = 0.



Question 28.

Find the equation of each of the following parabolas

Directrix x = 0, focus at (6, 0)


Answer:

the distance of any point on the parabola from its focus and its directrix is same.


Given that, directrix, x = 0 and focus = (6, 0)


If a parabola has a vertical axis, the standard form of the equation of the parabola is (x - h)2 = 4p(y - k), where p≠ 0.


The vertex of this parabola is at (h, k).


The focus is at (h, k + p) & the directrix is the line y = k - p.


As the focus lies on x – axis,


Equation is y2 = 4ax or y2 = -4ax


So, for any point P(x, y) on the parabola


Distance of point from directrix = Distance of point from focus


x2 = (x – 6)2 + y2


x2 = x2 - 12x + 36 + y2


y2 - 12x + 36 = 0


Hence the required equation is y2 - 12x + 36 = 0.



Question 29.

Find the equation of each of the following parabolas

Vertex at (0, 4), focus at (0, 2)


Answer:

Vertex = (0, 4) & Focus = (0, 2)


the distance between the vertex and directrix is same as the distance between the vertex and focus.


Directrix is y – 6 = 0


For any point of P(x, y) on the parabola


Distance of P from directrix = Distance of P from focus


Perpendicular Distance (Between a point and line) = , whereas the point is and the line is expressed as ax + by + c = 0 i.e.., x(0) + y – 6 = 0 & point = (x,y)


Distance between the point of intersection & centre = [Distance Formula] {Between (x,y) & (0,2)}




Squaring both the sides,


x2 + y2 - 4y + 4 = (y – 6)2


x2 + y2 - 4y + 4 = y2 - 12y + 36


x2 + 8y – 32 = 0
Hence, the required equation is x2 + 8y – 32 = 0.



Question 30.

Find the equation of each of the following parabolas

Focus at (–1, –2), directrix x – 2y + 3 = 0


Answer:

Focus = (–1, –2), directrix is x – 2y + 3 = 0


For any point (x,y) on parabola, the distance from focus to that point is always equal to the perpendicular distance from that point to the directrix,


Perpendicular Distance (Between a point and line) = , whereas the point is and the line is expressed as ax + by + c = 0 i.e.., x - 2y + 3 = 0 & point = (x,y)


Distance between the point of intersection & centre = [Distance Formula]





Squaring both the sides,




x2 + 4y2 + 9 - 4xy + 6x - 12y = 5 [x2 + 2x + 1 + y2 + 4y + 4]


x2 + 4y2 + 9 - 4xy + 6x- 12y = 5x2 + 10x + 5y2 + 20y + 25


4x2 + y2 + 4xy + 4x + 32y + 16 =0


Hence the required equation is 4x2 + y2 + 4xy + 4x + 32y + 16 = 0



Question 31.

Let the point be (x, y)


Distance between the point of intersection & centre = [Distance Formula]





Squaring both the sides,





Squaring both the sides,



x2 + 12x + 36 = 4x2 - 24x + 36 + 4y + 2


3x2 - 36x + 4y2=0
Hence, the required equation is 3x2 - 36x + 4y2 = 0.



Question 32.

Find the equation of the set of all points whose distance from (0, 4) are of their distance from the line y = 9.


Answer:

Let the point be P (x, y).


According to the question,


Distance of P from (x, y)(Distance from the line y=9)


Distance between the (x,y)& (0,4) = [Distance Formula]


Perpendicular Distance (Between a point and line) = , whereas the point is and the line is expressed as ax + by + c = 0 i.e.., x(0) + y – 6 = 0 & point = (x,y)


Distance between y – 9 = 0 {x(0) +y – 9 = 0} & (x, y)





Squaring both the sides,



x2 + y2 - 8y + 16 (y2 - 18y + 81)


9x2 + 9y2 - 72y + 144 = 4y2 - 72y + 324


9x2 + 5y2 = 180


Hence, the required equation is 9x2 + 5y2 = 180


, which is an ellipse.



Question 33.

Show that the set of all points such that the difference of their distances from (4, 0)and (– 4, 0) is always equal to 2 represent a hyperbola.


Answer:

Let the point be (x,y)


As per the question,


Distance of (x,y) from (-4,0) - Distance of (x,y) from (4, 0) = 2


Distance between the points = [Distance Formula]




Squaring both the sides,






Squaring both the sides,



16x2 - 8x + 1 = x2 - 8x + 16 + y2


15x2 - y2 = 15
Hence, the required equation is 15x - y2=15, which is a parabola.

General Equation of Hyperbola is




As, this hyperbola passed through (2, 3)





4b2 - 9 (10 - b2) = -1(10 - b2) (b2)


4b2 – 90 + 9b2 = -10b2 + b4


b4 - 23b2 + 90 = 0


b4 - 18b2 - 5b2 + 90 = 0


b2(b2 - 18)- 5 (b2 - 18) = 0


(b2 - 5) (b2 - 18) =0


Either b2 = 5 or b2 = 18 (not possible, as a2 + b2 = 10)


a2 + b2 = 10


a2 + 5 = 10


a2 = 5



Hence, the required equation is .

The shortest distance from the point (2, –7) to the circle x2 + y2 – 14x – 10y – 151 = 0 is equal to 5.


Answer:

x2 - 14x + 49 + y2 - 10y + 25 – 74 – 151 = 0


(x – 7)2 + (y – 5)2 = 225


(x – 7)2 + (y – 5)2 = 152


Centre = (7, 5) Radius = 15 units


Putting x = 7 & y = 5 in the circle’s equation,


(7)2 + 52 - 14 (7) – 10 (5) – 151


= -56


-56 < 0


(2, -7) lies inside the circle.

Centre = (0, 0) Radius = a units


Slope of line perpendicular to tangent= {Product of slopes of perpendicular lines = -1}


Equation of line perpendicular to tangent i.e.., Radius of the circle



ly = x – 0


Distance of centre (0,0) from the line lx + my = 1 is equal to the radius ‘a’.

The line 2x + 3y = 12 touches the ellipse at the point (3, 2).


Answer:

4x2 + 9y2 = 72 & 2x + 3y = 12


Solving both the expressions,


2x = 12 – 3y


Squaring both sides,


(2x)2 = (12 – 3y)2


4x2 = (12 – 3y)2


Putting the value of 4x2,


(12 – 3y)2 + 9y2 = 72


144 + 9y2 - 72y + 9y2 - 72 = 0


18y2 - 72y + 72 = 0


Y2 - 4y + 4 = 0


(y – 2)2= 0


y = 2


2x = 12 – 3y

g = -23


16f + 12 (-23) + 100 = 0


16f – 276 + 100 = 0


16f = 176


f = 11 & g = -23


Expanded form of a circle,


x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + C = 0, whereas Centre = (-g, -f)

D. none of these


Answer:

When circle touches both the axes, the co – ordinates of the centre and its radius are equal in their magnitude,


h = k – r


Since, the equation of a circle having centre (h,k), having radius as "r" units, is


(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2


(3 – h)2 + (6 – h)2 = h2


9 + h2 - 6h + 36 + h2 - 12h = h2


h2 - 18h + 45 = 0


h2 - 15h – 3h + 45 = 0


h (h – 15) – 3 (h – 15) = 0


(h – 3) (h – 15) = 0


h = 3 or h = 15


Co – ordinates of centre are (3, 3) or (15, 15)


(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2


Equation, having centre (3, 3)


(x – 3)2 + (y – 3)2 = 32


x2 - 6x + 9 + y2 - 6y + 9 – 9 = 0


x2 - 6x + y2 - 6y + 9 = 0


Equation, having centre (15, 15)


(x – 15)2 + (y – 15)2 = 152


x2 - 30x + 225 + y2 - 30y + 225 – 225 = 0


x2 - 30x + y2 - 30y + 225 = 0

D. x2 + y2 = a2


Answer:


In triangle LMD,


(LM)2 = (LD)2 + (MD)2 - Pythagoras Theorem,


LD = 3a (Given) &





(LM)2 = 12a2


In triangle OMD,


(OM)2 = (OD)2 + (MD)2 - Pythagoras Theorem,



As LO + OD = LD = 3a,



[Putting (LM)2 = 12a2]


9a2 + 3a2 - 6aR = 0


6aR = 12a2


R = 2a


Since, the equation of a circle having centre (h,k), having radius as "r" units, is


(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2


(x – 0)2 + (y – 0)2 = (2a)2


x2 + y2 = 4a2


Hence the required equation is x2 + y2 = 4a .


Option (D) is the answer.


Question 55.

If the focus of a parabola is (0, –3) and its directrix is y = 3, then its equation is
A. x2 = –12y

B. x2 = 12y

C. y2 = –12x

D. y2 = 12x


Answer:

As focus lies on y – axis,


Equation is x2 = 4ay or x2 = -4ay,


Focus has a –ve co = ordinate, so equation is x2 = -4ay,


Co – Ordinate of focus = (0, -a)


-a = -3


a = 3


As per the equation,


x2 = -4ay


x2 = -4 (3) y


x2 = -12y


Hence, the required equation is x2 = -12y.


Option (A) is the answer.


Question 56.

Question 57.

If the vertex of the parabola is the point (–3, 0) and the directrix is the line x + 5 = 0, then its equation is
A. y2 = 8 (x + 3)

B. x2 = 8 (y + 3)

C. y2 = – 8 (x + 3)

D. y2 = 8 ( x + 5)


Answer:

Vertex = (-3, 0) & Directrix is x + 5 = 0 (Intersection point is (-5, 0)


As , the co-ordinates of focus is the mid – point of the co-ordinates of vertex & the point of intersection of directrix and x or y axis respectively.


Focus = (p,q)




p = -1 & q = 0


Focus is (-1, 0)


For any point on parabola, P(x,y) the distance of focus from that point is always equal to the perpendicular distance from that point to the directrix.


Perpendicular Distance (Between a point and line) = , whereas the point is and the line is expressed as ax + by + c = 0 x + 5 = 0


Using Distance Formula,





Squaring both the sides,



x2 + 2x + 1 + y2 = x2 + 25 + 10x


y2 = 8x + 24


y2 = 8 (x + 3)


Hence the required equation is y2 = 8 (x + 3).


OPTION (A) is the correct answer.


Question 58.

B. 7x2 + 2xy + 7y2 + 7 = 0

C. 7x2 + 2xy + 7y2 + 10x – 10y – 7 = 0

D. none


Answer:

Focus (S) = (1, -1) Directrix is x – y – 3 = 0 &


As, for any point P (x,y) on the ellipse,


Distance from focus to the point (x,y) = e (Distance from (x,y) to the foot of perpendicular on directrix)


Perpendicular Distance (Between a point and line) = , whereas the point is and the line is expressed as ax + by + c = 0


Using Distance Formula,





Squaring both the sides,




8[x2 - 2x + 1 + y2 + 2y + 1] = x2 - 6x - 2xy + y2 + 6y + 9


8x2 - 16x + 16 + 8y2 + 16y = x2 - 6x - 2xy + y2 + 6y + 9


7x2 - 10x + 2xy + 7y2 + 10y + 7 = 0


Hence the required equation is 7x2 - 10x + 2xy + 7y2 + 10y + 7 = 0


OPTION (A) is the correct answer.

b2 = a2 (1 - e2)


4a = a2 (1 - e2)


4 = a (1 - e2)


-------- (iii)


Putting the value from equation (ii),



a = 20


b2 = 4a = 4 × 20 = 80 {From equation (i)}




Hence, the eccentricity of hyperbola is .
