If $(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=c^2$, for some $c > 0$, prove that $\frac{\left[1+\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)^2\right]^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}}$ is a constant independent of a and b.
Answer
View full question & answer→Given relation is $(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=c^2, c > 0$.
Let $x - a = c \cos \theta$ and $y-b=c \sin \theta$.
Therefore, $\frac{d x}{d \theta}=-c \sin \theta$ And $\frac{d y}{d \theta}=c \cos \theta$
$\therefore \frac{d y}{d x}=-\cot \theta$
Differentiate both sides with respect to $\theta$, we get $\frac{d}{d \theta}\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)=\frac{d}{d \theta}(-\cot \theta)$$\text { Or, } \frac{d}{d x}\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right) \frac{d x}{d \theta}=\operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta$
$\text { Or, } \frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}(-c \sin \theta)=\operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta$
$\frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}=-\frac{\operatorname{cosec}^3 \theta}{c}$
$\therefore \frac{\left[1+\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)^2\right]^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}}=\frac{c\left[1+\cot ^2 \theta\right]^{\frac{3}{2}}}{-\operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta}=\frac{-c\left(\operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta\right)^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\operatorname{cosec}^3 \theta}=-c,$
which is constant and is independent of $a$ and $b.$
Let $x - a = c \cos \theta$ and $y-b=c \sin \theta$.
Therefore, $\frac{d x}{d \theta}=-c \sin \theta$ And $\frac{d y}{d \theta}=c \cos \theta$
$\therefore \frac{d y}{d x}=-\cot \theta$
Differentiate both sides with respect to $\theta$, we get $\frac{d}{d \theta}\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)=\frac{d}{d \theta}(-\cot \theta)$$\text { Or, } \frac{d}{d x}\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right) \frac{d x}{d \theta}=\operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta$
$\text { Or, } \frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}(-c \sin \theta)=\operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta$
$\frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}=-\frac{\operatorname{cosec}^3 \theta}{c}$
$\therefore \frac{\left[1+\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)^2\right]^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}}=\frac{c\left[1+\cot ^2 \theta\right]^{\frac{3}{2}}}{-\operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta}=\frac{-c\left(\operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta\right)^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\operatorname{cosec}^3 \theta}=-c,$
which is constant and is independent of $a$ and $b.$
Question 35 Marks
Find the shortest distance between the lines $I_1$ and $l_2$ $\vec{r}=(-\hat{\imath}-\hat{\jmath}-\hat{k})+\lambda(7 \hat{\imath}-6 \hat{\jmath}+\hat{k})$ and $\vec{r}=(3 \hat{\imath}+5 \hat{\jmath}+7 \hat{k})+\mu(\hat{\imath}-2 \hat{\jmath}+\hat{k})$where $\lambda$ and $\mu$ are parameters.
Answer
Given that equation of lines are
$\vec{r} =(-\hat{\imath}-\hat{\jmath}-\hat{k})+\lambda(7 \hat{\imath}-6 \hat{\jmath}+\hat{k})\ldots(i)$
$\vec{r} =(3 \hat{\imath}+5 \hat{\jmath}+7 \hat{k})+\mu(\hat{\imath}-2 \hat{\jmath}+\hat{k})\ldots(ii)$
The given lines are non $-$ parallel lines as vectors $7 \hat{\imath}-6 \hat{\jmath}+\hat{k}$ and $\hat{\imath}-2 \hat{\jmath}+\hat{k}$ are not parallel.
There is a unique line segment $P Q$ ( $P$ lying on line $(i)$ and $Q$ on the other line $(i i) ),$ which is at right angles to both the lines $P Q$ is the shortest distance between the lines.
Hence, the shortest possible distance between the lines $=P Q$.
Let the position vector of the point $P$ lying on the line $r=(-\hat{\imath}-\hat{\jmath}-\hat{k})+\lambda(7 \hat{\imath}-6 \hat{\jmath}+\hat{k})$ where $\lambda$ is a scalar, is $(7 \lambda-1) \hat{\imath}-(6 \lambda+1) \hat{\jmath}+(\lambda-1) \hat{k}, $ for some $\lambda$ and the position vector of the point $Q$ lying on the line $r=(3 \hat{\imath}+5 \hat{\jmath}+7 \hat{k})+\mu(\hat{\imath}-2 \hat{\jmath}+\hat{k})$ where $\mu^{\prime}$ is a scalar, is $(\mu+3) \hat{\imath}+(-2 \mu+5) \hat{\jmath}+(\mu+7) \hat{k},$ for some $\mu$. Now, the vector
$\overline{P Q}=\overline{O Q}-\overline{O P}=(\mu+3-7 \lambda+1) \hat{\imath}+(-2 \mu+5+6 \lambda+1) \hat{\jmath}+(\mu+7-\lambda+1) \hat{k}$
i.e., $\overline{P Q}=(\mu-7 \lambda+4) \hat{\imath}+(-2 \mu+6 \lambda+6) \hat{\jmath}+(\mu-\lambda+8) \hat{k} ; ($where $'O\ '$ is the origin$),$ is perpendicular to both the lines,
so the vector $\overline{P Q}$ is perpendicular to both the vectors $7 \hat{\imath}-6 \hat{\jmath}+\hat{k}$ and $\hat{\imath}-2 \hat{\jmath}+\hat{k}$.
$\Rightarrow(\mu-7 \lambda+4) \cdot 7+(-2 \mu+6 \lambda+6) \cdot(-6)+(\mu-\lambda+8) \cdot 1=0$
$\ (\mu-7 \lambda+4) \cdot 1+(-2 \mu+6 \lambda+6) \cdot(-2)+(\mu-\lambda+8) \cdot 1=0$
$\Rightarrow 2 0 \mu- 8 6 \lambda= 0 $
$ \Rightarrow1 0 \mu- 4 3 \lambda= 0 \ 6 \mu-20 \lambda=0 $
$\Rightarrow 3 \mu-10 \lambda=0$
On solving the above equations, we get $\mu=\lambda=0$
So, the position vector of the points $P$ and $Q$ are $-\hat{\imath}-\hat{\jmath}-\hat{k}$ and $3 \hat{\imath}+5 \hat{\jmath}+7 \hat{k}$ respectively.
$\overline{P Q}=4 \hat{\imath}+6 \hat{\jmath}+8 \hat{k}$ and
$|\overline{P Q}|=\sqrt{4^2+6^2+8^2}$
$=\sqrt{116}=2 \sqrt{29} \text { units. }$

$15=4 a+2 b+c$
$25=16 a+4 b+c$
$15=196 a+14 b+c $
The set of equations can be represented in the matrix form as $A X = B$,
where $A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4 & 2 & 1 \\ 16 & 4 & 1 \\ 196 & 14 & 1\end{array}\right], X=\left[\begin{array}{l}a \\ b \\ c\end{array}\right]$ and $B=\left[\begin{array}{l}15 \\ 25 \\ 15\end{array}\right]$
$ \Rightarrow\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4 & 2 & 1 \\ 16 & 4 & 1 \\ 196 & 14 & 1\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{l}a \\ b \\ c\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{l}15 \\ 25 \\ 15\end{array}\right]$
$ |A|=4(4-14)-2(16-196)+(224-784)$
$=-40+360-560$
$=-240 \neq 0 $.
Hence $A ^{-1} $ exists.
Now,$\operatorname{adj}(A)=\left[\begin{array}{ccc} -10 & 180 & -560 \\ 12 & -192 & 336 \\ -2 & 12 & -16 \end{array}\right]^T$
$=\left[\begin{array}{ccc} -10 & 12 & -2 \\ 180 & -192 & 12 \\ -560 & 336 & -16 \end{array}\right] = \ \left[\begin{array}{l} a \\ b \\ c \end{array}\right]$
$=-\frac{1}{240}\left[\begin{array}{ccc} -10 & 12 & -2 \\ 180 & -192 & 12 \\ -560 & 336 & -16 \end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{c} 15 \\ 25 \\ 15 \end{array}\right]$
$=-\frac{5}{240}\left[\begin{array}{ccc} -10 & 12 & -2 \\ 180 & -192 & 12 \\ -560 & 336 & -16 \end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{l} 3 \\ 5 \\ 3 \end{array}\right]$
$= -\frac{5}{240}\left[\begin{array}{c} 24 \\ -384 \\ -48 \end{array}\right] $
$\therefore a =-\frac{1}{ 1 }, b = 8 , c = 1 $
So, the equation becomes $y=-\frac{1}{2} x^2+8 x+1$
$15=4 a+2 b+c$
$25=16 a+4 b+c$
$15=196 a+14 b+c $
The set of equations can be represented in the matrix form as $A X = B$,

$ |A|=4(4-14)-2(16-196)+(224-784)$
$=-40+360-560$
$=-240 \neq 0 $.
Hence $A ^{-1} $ exists.
Now,$\operatorname{adj}(A)=\left[\begin{array}{ccc} -10 & 180 & -560 \\ 12 & -192 & 336 \\ -2 & 12 & -16 \end{array}\right]^T$
$=\left[\begin{array}{ccc} -10 & 12 & -2 \\ 180 & -192 & 12 \\ -560 & 336 & -16 \end{array}\right] = \ \left[\begin{array}{l} a \\ b \\ c \end{array}\right]$
$=-\frac{1}{240}\left[\begin{array}{ccc} -10 & 12 & -2 \\ 180 & -192 & 12 \\ -560 & 336 & -16 \end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{c} 15 \\ 25 \\ 15 \end{array}\right]$
$=-\frac{5}{240}\left[\begin{array}{ccc} -10 & 12 & -2 \\ 180 & -192 & 12 \\ -560 & 336 & -16 \end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{l} 3 \\ 5 \\ 3 \end{array}\right]$
$= -\frac{5}{240}\left[\begin{array}{c} 24 \\ -384 \\ -48 \end{array}\right] $
$\therefore a =-\frac{1}{ 1 }, b = 8 , c = 1 $
So, the equation becomes $y=-\frac{1}{2} x^2+8 x+1$
