Question 13 Marks

Find the locus of a point such that the sum of its distances from (0, 2) and (0, -2) is 6.

Answer

Let P(h, k) be any point on the locus let A(0, 2) and B(0, -2) be the given point. By the given condition $\text{PA}+\text{PB}=6$ $\Rightarrow \sqrt{(\text{h}-0)^2+(\text{k}-2)^2}+\sqrt{(\text{h}-0)^2+(\text{k}+2)^2}=6$ $\Rightarrow \sqrt{\text{h}+(\text{k}-2)\text{h}^2}=6-\sqrt{\text{h}^2+(\text{k}+2)^2}$ $\Rightarrow \text{h}^2+(\text{k}-2)\text{h}^2=36-12\sqrt{\text{h}^2+(\text{k}+2)^2}+\text{h}^2+(\text{k}+2)^2$ $\Rightarrow 8\text{k}-36=-12\sqrt{\text{h}^2+(\text{k}+2)^2}$ $\Rightarrow (2\text{k}+9)=3\sqrt{\text{h}^2+(\text{k}+2)^2}$ $\Rightarrow (2\text{k}+9)^2=9\Big(\text{h}^2+(\text{k}+2)^2\Big)$ $\Rightarrow 4\text{k}^2+36\text{k}+81=9\text{h}^2+9\text{k}^2+36\text{k}+36$$\Rightarrow 9\text{h}^2+5\text{k}^2=45$
Hence, locus of (h, k) is $ 9\text{h}^2+5\text{k}^2=45.$

Question 23 Marks

Find the equation of the locus of a point which moves such that the ratio of distances from (2, 0) and (1, 3) is 5 : 4.

Answer

Let P(h, k) be any point on the locus and let A(2, 0) and B(1, 3). Then, $\frac{\text{PA}}{\text{BP}}=\frac{5}{4}$ $\frac{\text{PA}^2}{\text{BP}^2}=\frac{25}{16}$$\Rightarrow \frac{\bigg[\sqrt{(\text{h}-2)^2+(\text{k}-0)^2}\bigg]}{\bigg[\sqrt{(\text{h}-1)^2+(\text{k}-0)^3}\bigg]}=\frac{25}{16}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{(\text{h}-2)^2+\text{k}^2}{(\text{h}-1)^2+(\text{k}^3-3)^2}=\frac{25}{16}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{\text{h}^2+4-4\text{h}+\text{k}^2}{\text{h}^2+1-2\text{h}+\text{k}^2+9-6\text{k}}=\frac{25}{16}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{(\text{h}^2-4\text{h}+\text{k}^2+4)}{\text{h}^2+\text{k}^2-2\text{h}-6\text{k}+10}=\frac{25}{16}$
$\Rightarrow 16(\text{h}^2-4\text{h}+\text{k}^2+4)=25(\text{h}^2+\text{k}^2-2\text{h}-6\text{k}+10)$
$\Rightarrow 16\text{h}^2-64\text{h}+16\text{k}^2+64=25\text{h}^2+25\text{k}^2-50\text{h}-150\text{k}+250$
$\Rightarrow 25\text{h}^2-16\text{h}^2+25\text{k}^2-16\text{k}^2-50\text{h}+64\text{h}-150\text{k}+250-65=0$
$\Rightarrow 9\text{h}^2+9\text{k}^2+14\text{k}-150\text{k}+186=0$ Hence, locus of (h, k) is $ 9\text{h}^2+9\text{k}^2+14\text{k}-150\text{k}+186=0$

Question 33 Marks

What does the equation $(\text{a} − \text{b}) (\text{x}^2 + \text{y}^2) −2\text{abx} = 0$ become if the origin is shifted to the point $\Bigg(\frac{\text{a}\text{b}}{\text{a}-\text{b}},0\Bigg)$ without rotation?

Answer

We have,$(\text{a} − \text{b}) (\text{x}^2 + \text{y}^2) −2\text{abx} = 0$
Substituting $\text{x}=\text{x}+\frac{\text{ab}}{\text{a-b}},\text{y}=\text{Y}$ in the given equation, we get
$(\text{a}-\text{b})\Bigg[\Big(\text{x}+\frac{\text{ab}}{\text{a-b}}\Big)+\text{Y}^2\Bigg]-2\text{ab}\Bigg[\text{x}+\frac{\text{ab}}{\text{a-b}}\Bigg]=0$
$\Rightarrow (\text{a}-\text{b})\Bigg[\text{x}^2+\Big(\frac{\text{ab}}{\text{ab}}\Big)^2+2\frac{\text{xab}}{\text{a-b}}+\text{Y}^2\Bigg]-2\text{ab}\text{x}-2\frac{\text{(ab)}^2}{\text{a-b}}=0$
$\Rightarrow (\text{a-b})\Bigg[\frac{\text{x}^2(\text{a-b})^2+(\text{ab})\text{h}^2+2\text{xab}(\text{a-b})+\text{Y}^2(\text{a-b})^2}{(\text{a-b})^2}\Bigg],\frac{2\text{abx}(\text{a-b})+2(\text{ab})^2}{\text{a-b}}=0$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{x}^2(\text{a-b})^2+(\text{ab})^2+2\text{ab}(\text{a-b})+\text{Y}^2(\text{a-b})^2}{\text{a-b}},\frac{2\text{ab}(\text{a-b})+2(\text{ab})^2}{\text{a-b}}=0$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}^2(\text{a}-\text{b})^2+\text{Y}^2(\text{a}-\text{b})^2+(\text{ab})^2+2\text{ab}(\text{a-b})=2\text{ab}(\text{a-b})+2(\text{ab})^2$
$\Rightarrow (\text{a-b})^2(\text{x}^2+\text{Y}^2)=(\text{a}\text{b})^2$
$\Rightarrow (\text{a-b})^2(\text{x}^2+\text{Y}^2)=\text{a}^2\text{b}^2$

Question 43 Marks

Find the locus of a point which moves such that its distance from the origin is three times its distance from the x-axis.

Answer

Let P(h, k) be any point on the locus and let O(0, 0) be the origin.By the given condition
$\text{OP}=3\text{k}$ $[ \therefore$ k is the diffance of point from x-axis $]$
$\Rightarrow \text{OP}^2=9\text{k}^2$
$\Rightarrow \Big(\sqrt{(0-\text{h})^2+(0-\text{k})^2}\Big)^2=9\text{k}$
$\Rightarrow \text{h}^2+\text{k}^2=9\text{k}^2$
$\Rightarrow \text{h}^2=9\text{k}^2-\text{k}^2$
$\Rightarrow \text{h}^2=8\text{k}^2$
Hence, locus of (h, k) is $\text{x}^2=8\text{y}^2$

Question 53 Marks

Find what the following equations become when the origin is shifted to the point $(1, 1).$
$x^2 + xy − 3y^2 − y + 2 = 0$

Answer

We have, $x^2 + xy − 3y^2 − y + 2 = 0.....(i)$
Substituting $x = x + 1, y = y + 1$ in the equcation(i),
we get $\Rightarrow (X + 1)^2 + (X + 1)(Y + 1) - 3(Y + 1)^2 - (Y + 1) + 2 = 0$
$\Rightarrow X^2 + 1 + 2X + XY + X + Y + 1 - 3(Y^2 + 1 + 2Y) - Y - 1 + 2 = 0$
$\Rightarrow X^2 + XY + 3X + 3 - 3Y^2- 3 - 6Y = 0$

Question 63 Marks

Find what the following equations become when the origin is shifted to the point $(1, 1).x^2 - y^2 - 2x + 2y = 0$

Answer

We have,$x^2 - y^2 - 2x + 2y = 0.....(i)$
Substituting $x = x + 1, y = y + 1$ in the equcation(i),
we get $\Rightarrow (X + 1)^2 + (Y + 1)^2 - 2(X + 1) + 2(Y + 1) = 0$
$\Rightarrow X^2 + 1 + 2X - (Y^2 + 1 + 2Y) - 2X - 2 + 2Y + 2 = 0$
$\Rightarrow X^2 + 1 - Y^2 - 1 - 2Y + 2X = 0$
$\Rightarrow X^2 + 2X + 1 - (Y^2 + 2Y + 1)$
$\Rightarrow (X + 1)^2- (Y + 1)^2$
$\Rightarrow X^2 - Y^2 = 0$

Question 73 Marks

A(5, 3), B(3, -2) are two fixed points; find the equation to the locus of a point P which moves so that the area of the triangle PAB is 9 units.

Answer

Let P(h, k) be any point on the locus. Then,Area (PAB) = 9 sq units
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}\big|\text{x}_1(\text{y}_2-\text{y}_3)+\text{x}_2(\text{y}_3-\text{y}_1)+\text{x}_3(\text{y}_1-\text{y}_2)\big|=9$
$\Rightarrow \big|5(-2-\text{k})+3(\text{k}-3)+\text{h}(3+12)\big|=18$
$\Rightarrow \big|-10-5\text{k}+3\text{k}-9\text{k}+15\big|=18$
$\Rightarrow \big|5\text{h}-2\text{k}-19\big|=18$
$\Rightarrow 5\text{h}-2\text{k}-19=\pm18$
$\Rightarrow 5\text{h}-2\text{k}-19 \mp18=0$
$\Rightarrow 5\text{h}-2\text{k}-37=0 \ \text{or, }\ 5\text{h}-2\text{k}-1=0$
Hence, the locus of(h, k) is $5\text{h}-2\text{k}-37=0 \ \text{or, }\ 5\text{h}-2\text{k}-1=0$

Question 93 Marks

Find what the following equations become when the origin is shifted to the point $(1, 1)$?
$x^2 + xy − 3x − y + 2 = 0$

Answer

We have,$x^2 + xy − 3x − y + 2 = 0$
Substituting $x = X + 1, y + 1$ in the given equation, we get
$(X + 1)^2 + (X + 1)(Y + 1) - 3(X + 1) - (Y + 1) + 2 = 0$
$\Rightarrow x^2 + 1 + 2X + XY + X + Y + 1 - 3X - 3 - Y - 1 + 2 = 0$
$\Rightarrow x^2+ XY = 0$

Question 103 Marks

Find the locus of a point such that the line segments having end points (2, 0) and (-2, 0) subtend a right angle at that point.

Answer

Let P(h, k) be the variable and let A(2, 0) and B(-2, 0) be the given point.Then $\angle\text{APB}=\frac{\pi}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A}\text{B}^2=\text{P}\text{B}^2+\text{P}\text{B}^2$
$\Rightarrow (2+2)^2+0=(2-\text{h})^2+(0-\text{k})^2+(-2-\text{h})^2+(0-\text{k})^2$
$\Rightarrow 16=4+\text{h}^2-4\text{h}+\text{k}^2+4+\text{h}^2+4\text{h}+\text{k}$
$\Rightarrow 16=2\text{h}^2+2\text{k}^2+8$
$\Rightarrow 2\text{h}^2+2\text{k}^2+8-16=0$
$\Rightarrow 2\text{h}^2+2\text{k}^2-8=0$
$\Rightarrow \text{h}^2+\text{k}^2-4=0$
Hence, the locus of (h, k) is $\text{h}^2+\text{k}^2-4=0$

Question 123 Marks

Find what the following equations become when the origin is shifted to the point $(1, 1).$
$xy − y^2 − x + y = 0$

Answer

We have, $xy − y^2 − x + y = 0.....(i)$
Substituting $x = x + 1, y = y + 1$ in the equcation(i),
we get $(X + 1)(Y + 1) - (Y + 1)^2 - (X + 1) + (Y + 1) = 0$
$\Rightarrow XY + X + Y + 1 - (Y^2 + 1 + 2Y) - X - 1 + Y + 1 = 0$
$\Rightarrow XY + 2Y + 1 - Y^2- 1 - 2Y = 0$
$\Rightarrow XY - Y^2 = 0$

Question 133 Marks

Find the locus of the mid-point of the portion of the line x cos α + y sin α = p which is intercepted between the axes.

Answer

Given, line is $\text{x}\cos\alpha+\text{y}\sin\alpha=\text{P}$
$\frac{\text{x}}{\frac{\text{p}}{\cos\alpha}}+\frac{\text{y}}{\frac{\text{p}}{\sin\alpha}}=1$
Intercepts on x axis is $\frac{\text{P}}{\cos\alpha}\text{ and }\text{y}-\text{axis }\text{is } \frac{\text{P}}{\sin\alpha}$
Let, P(x, y) be the mid-point of AB.
$\text{(x,y)}=\Bigg[\frac{\frac{\text{P}}{\cos\alpha}+0}{2},\frac{\frac{\text{P}}{\sin\alpha}+0}{2}\Bigg]$
$\therefore \text{ x}={\frac{\text{P}}{2\cos\alpha}}, \text{ y}={\frac{\text{P}}{2\sin\alpha}}$
$2\cos\alpha=\frac{\text{P}}{\text{x}}, 2\sin\alpha=\frac{\text{P}}{\text{y}}$
Square both sides,
$4\cos^2\alpha=\frac{\text{P}^2}{\text{x}^2}......(1)$
$\text{And}$
$4\sin^2\alpha=\frac{\text{P}^2}{\text{y}^2}......(2)$
$[(1)+(2)]$
$4\cos^2\alpha+4\sin^2\alpha=\frac{\text{P}^2}{\text{x}^2}+\frac{\text{P}^2}{\text{y}^2}$
$4=\frac{\text{P}^2(\text{x}^2+\text{y}^2)}{\text{x}^2\text{y}^2}$
$4\text{x}^2\text{y}^2=\text{P}^2(\text{x}^2+\text{y}^2)$
