0%
False

Explanation

Given,

$A(3,0),B(6,4),C(-1,3)$

$AC=\sqrt{(-1-3)^2+(3-0)^2}=5$

$AB=\sqrt{(6-3)^2+(4-0)^2}=5$

$BC=\sqrt{(-1-6)^2+(3-4)^2}=5\sqrt{2}$

Since 2 sides are equal, these points are the vertices of isosceles triangle.

If the points

$P(a,-11), Q(5,b), R(2,15)$ and

$S(1,1)$ are the vertices of a parallelogram

$ABCD$ , find the values of

$a$ and

$b$ .

Explanation

Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

So the mid point of diagonal

$PR$ and mid point of diagonal

$QS$ coincide.

We have mid point formula,

$P(X,Y)=\left(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)$

It implies that

$\dfrac{a+2}{2}=\dfrac{5+1}{2}$

$a+2=6$

$a=4$

Similarly,

$\dfrac{b+1}{2}=\dfrac{-11+15}{2}$

$b+1=4$

$b=3$

False

Explanation

Let the given points be

$A,B,C$ and

$D$ respectively.Then,

Coordinates of the mid-point of

$AC$ are

$\left(\dfrac{-2+4}{2},\dfrac{-1+3}{2}\right)=\left(1,1\right)$

Coordinates of the mid-point of

$\triangle ABC$ .

Then,

$(x_{1}=3,y_{1}=8),(x_{2}=-4,y_{2}=2),(x_{3}=5,y_{3}=-1)$

Area of

$\triangle ABC$ =

$\dfrac{1}{2}|[x_{1}(y_{2}-y_{3})+x_{2}(y_{3}-y_{1})+x_{3}(y_{1}-y_{2})]|$

$=\dfrac{1}{2}|3[2-(-1)]-4(-1-8)+5(8-2)|$

$(3,2)$ and

$(-3,2)$ are two vertices of an equilateral triangle which contains within it the origin, what are the coordinates of the third vertex ?

0%
$(2,2\sqrt{2})$

0%
$(0,-3\sqrt{3})$
0%
$None\ of\ these$

Explanation

Let $\Delta ABC$ be the equilateral triangle, where $AB=BC=AC$ .

Vertices of this triangle be,

$A\left( 3,2 \right),B\left( -3,2 \right)$ and $C\left( x,y \right)$ .

The mid-point of the side $AB$ is $M\left( 0,2 \right)$ .

$AB=\sqrt{{{\left( 3+3 \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( 2-2 \right)}^{2}}}$

$AB=6\ units$

Therefore,

$\Rightarrow AB=BC=AC=6\ units$

Also,

$\Rightarrow AM=3\ units$

As two vertices are $A\left( 3,2 \right)$ and $B\left( -3,2 \right)$ , so third vertex will be at $y-$ axis.

Therefore,

$\Rightarrow C\left( 0,y \right)$

It will be located below the origin as the triangle contains the origin.

Now,

${{y}^{2}}={{\left( AC \right)}^{2}}-{{\left( AM \right)}^{2}}$

${{y}^{2}}=36-9=27$

$y=3\sqrt{3}\ units$

Therefore,

$\Rightarrow C\left( 0,-3\sqrt{3} \right)$

Hence, this is the required point.

The curve

$y=ax^3+bx^2+cx+5$ touches the x-axis at

Explanation

Distance between two points

$=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}$

Given

$AB=BC$

$\sqrt{(2-x)^{2}+(1)^{2}}=\sqrt{(x+2)^{2}+(1)^{2}}$

Squaring both sides

$(2-x)^{2}+(1)=(x+2)^{2}+(1)$

$4+x^{2}-4x=x^{2}+4+4x$

$x=0$

Find the value of

$x_i$ , if the distance between the points

$(x_i, 2)$ and

$(3, 4)$ is

$8$ .

0%
$3\pm \sqrt{15}$
0%
$2\pm 3\sqrt{15}$
0%
$2\pm \sqrt{15}$

Explanation

we re given

$( x_1 , y_1 )$ = ( xi, 2) &

$B ( x_2,y_2)=(3,4)$

let d is the distance between point A & B . d= 8

$So, d = \sqrt { (x_2 -x_1)^2 + (y_2 -y_1)^2 }$

$8 = \sqrt { (3 -x_i )^2 +(4-2)^2 }$

taking square on both side,

$64 = (3 -x_i)^2 + (4-2)^2$

$64 = 9 - 6x_i +(x_i)^2 +(2)^2$

$(x_i)^2-6x_i - 51 = 0$

now, discriminant

$D = \sqrt { b^2 - 4ac }$

here

$b = -6$ ,

$a = 1$ ,

$c= -51$

so,

$d= \sqrt { (-6)^2 -4(1)(-51) } = \sqrt {36+ 204 }$

$d= \sqrt {240} > 0$

so,

$\displaystyle x_i = \frac { -b \pm \sqrt d }{2a} = \frac { -(-6) \pm \sqrt {240} }{ 2(1) } = \frac { 6 \pm 4 \sqrt {15} }{2}$

$x_i = 3 \pm 2 \sqrt {15}$

$(0,-6,0)$ or $(0,2,0)$
0%
$(0,4,0)$ or $(0,-4,0)$
0%
$(0,5,0)$ or $(0,-5,0)$

Explanation

${\rm{since point is an y - axis}}$

${\rm{its x and z coordinate is 0}}$

${\rm{Let pt}}{\rm{. on y - axis be A (0,a,0)}}$

${\rm{PA = }}\sqrt {{{({x_2} - {x_1})}^2} + {{({y_2} - {y_1})}^2} + {{({z_2} - {z_1})}^2}}$

$5\sqrt2 = \sqrt {{{( - 3)}^2} + {{(a + 2)}^2} + {{(0 - 5)}^2}}$

$5\sqrt2 = \sqrt {a + {a^2} + 4 + 4a + 25}$

$5\sqrt2 = \sqrt {{a^2} + 4a + 38}$

$25 \times 2 = {a^2} + 4a + 38$

${a^2} + 4a - 12 = 0$

${a^2} + 6a - 2(a + b) = 0$

$a = 2,a = - 6$

0%
$\left( {2,\dfrac{1}{3}} \right)$
0%
$\left( {2,7} \right)$
0%
$\left( {7,2} \right)$

Explanation

AC = 2 BC

${{AC} \over {BC}} = {2 \over 1}$

$x = {{2{x^2} + 1 \times \left( { - 3} \right)} \over {1 + 2}} = {{4 - 3} \over 3} = {1 \over 3}$

$y = {{2 \times 1 + 1 \times 4} \over {2 + 1}} = {{2 + 4} \over 3} = 2$

$C\left( {{1 \over 3},2} \right)$

Area

$= \dfrac{1}{2} \times [ x_1 (y_2 - y_3) + x_2(y_3 - y_1) + x_3(y_1 - y_2) ]$

Also, we know

Explanation

Q is equidistant from P and R

=>PQ=RQ

$P{ Q }^{ 2 }=R{ Q }^{ 2 }$

$(5)^{ 2 }+(-4)^{ 2 }={ x }^{ 2 }+{ (5) }^{ 2 }\\ =>{ x }^{ 2 }=16\\ =>x=\pm 4$

Now PQ=QR=

Explanation

Rectangle's midpoints are

$= \left( {\frac{{0 + 4}}{2},\frac{{0 + 2}}{2}} \right) = \left( {\frac{4}{2},\frac{2}{2}} \right) = \left( {2,1} \right)$

Slope line y

$=$ 3x will be :

${m_1} = 3$

Parallel line will be

${m_2} = 3$

Equation of line passing through (2 , 1)

$y - {y_1} = m(x - {x_1})$

$(y - 1) = 3(x - 2)$

$y - 1 = 3x - 6$

$y = 3x - 5$

Hence on comparing

$AH=\cfrac { (1000) }{ \sqrt { 3 } } m$

$\triangle BHO$

$\tan { 30° } =\cfrac { OH }{ BH }$

$BH=\sqrt { 3 } \left( 1000 \right) m$

$\therefore AB=BH-AH=\left( \sqrt { 3 } -\cfrac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 3 } } \right) \left( 1000 \right) m$

$=\cfrac { 2 }{ \sqrt { 3 } } .1000m$

Explanation

Let us consider the co-ordinate

$(x,y)$ which is the point equidistant from the points

$A(-2,-3), B(-1,0)$ and

$C(7,-6).$

So,

$d_{1}= \sqrt{(x-(-2))^{2}+ (y-(-3))^{2}} = \sqrt{(x+2)^{2}+ (y+3)^{2}}$

$d_{2}= \sqrt{(x-(-1))^{2}+ (y-0)^{2}} = \sqrt{(X+1)^{2} +y^{2}}$ &

$d_{3}= \sqrt{(x-7)^{2}+ (y-(-6))^{2}}^{2} = \sqrt{(x-7)^{2}+ (y+6)^{2}}$

here

$d_{1}= d_{2}= d_{3}$

Let compare

$d_{1}$ &

$d_{2}$ . we get,

$\sqrt{(x+2)^{2} + (y+3)^{2}}= \sqrt{(x+1)^{2}}+y^{2}$

$\therefore (x+2)^{2}+ (y+3)^{2}= (x+1)^{2}+ y^{2}$

$\therefore x^{2}+4x+4+ y^{2}+ 6y+ 9 = x^{2}+ 2x+1+y^{2}$

$\therefore 2x+ 12+ 6y= 0$

$\therefore x+ 3y+ 6 = 0 \rightarrow (1)$

Now, compare

$d_{2}$ &

$d_{3}$ . we get.

$\sqrt{(x+1)^{2}+y^{2}}= \sqrt{(x-7)^{2}+ (y+6)^{2}}$

$x^{2}+2x+1+y^{2}= x^{2}-14x+49+y^{2}+12y+36$

$16x-12y= 84$

$4 (4x-3y)= 84$

$4x-3y- 21= 0 \rightarrow (2)$

From

$(1)$ &

$(2)\ 5x- 15 = 0 \Rightarrow x=3$

From

$(1) \Rightarrow y= \dfrac{-x-6}{3}= \dfrac{-3-6}{3}=\dfrac{-9}{3}= -3$

So,

$(x,y)= (3,-3)$

Explanation

Slope of line joining

$(x_1,y_1), (x_2,y_2)$ is

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

First Consider the side

$BA$ . Let

$m_1$ be the slope of

$BA$

$\Rightarrow m_1=\dfrac{3-1}{2+2}$

$\Rightarrow m_1=\dfrac{2}{4}$

First Consider the side

$BC$ . Let

$m_2$ be the slope of

$BC$

$\Rightarrow m_2=\dfrac{3+4}{2+2}$

$\Rightarrow m_2=\dfrac{7}{4}$

Angle between

$BA, BC$ is given by

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{m_1-m_2}{1+m_1m_2}$

Substituting the values of

$m_1, m_2$ we get

$\Rightarrow \tan\theta=\dfrac{\dfrac{5}{4}}{1+\dfrac{14}{16}}$

On solving we get

$\Rightarrow \tan\theta=\dfrac{2}{3}$

$\Rightarrow \theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{2}{3})$

A straight line L through the point

$(3,-2)$ is inclined at an angle

$60$ to the line

$\sqrt { 3 } x+y=1$ . If L also intersects the x-axis, the equation of L is-

0%
$y+\sqrt { 3 }x+2-3\sqrt { 3 }=0$
0%
$y-\sqrt { 3 }x+2+3\sqrt { 3 }=0$
0%
$\sqrt { 3 } y-x+3+2\sqrt { 3 } =0$
0%
$\sqrt { 3 } y+x-3+2\sqrt { 3 } =0$

Explanation

$\sqrt{3}x+y=1\implies m=\tan \theta =-\sqrt{3}\implies$ this line makes an angle of

$120^{\circ}$ with x-axis.

Since

$L$ makes an angle

$60^{\circ}$ with this line.

$\implies L$ must be either x- axis

$($ which is not correct because given

$L$ intersect the x-axis

$)$ or a line making an angle

$60^{\circ}$ with the x-axis.

$\implies m=\tan 60^{\circ}=\sqrt{3}$

$L:y=m{x}+c$

$L:y=\sqrt{3}x+c$

$L$ passes through

$(3,-2)\implies -2=3\sqrt{3}+c\implies c=-2-3\sqrt{3}$

$L:y-\sqrt{3}x+2+3\sqrt{3}=0$

Explanation

Let the points be

$A(1,1)$ ,

$B(-2,7)$ ,

$C(3,3)$

Distance of

$AB=\sqrt { { \left( 2-1 \right) }^{ 2 }+{ \left( 7-1 \right) }^{ 2 } }$

$=\sqrt { 9+36 } =\sqrt { 45 }$

Distance of

$BC=\sqrt { { \left( 3+2 \right) }^{ 2 }+{ \left( 3-7 \right) }^{ 2 } }$

$=\sqrt { 25+16 } =\sqrt { 49 } =7$

Distance of

$AC=\sqrt { { \left( 3-1 \right) }^{ 2 }+{ \left( 3-1 \right) }^{ 2 } } =\sqrt { 8 }$

Explanation

Area of triangle having vertices

$(x_1,y_1), (x_2,y_2)$ and

$(x_3,y_3)$ is given by
Area

$= \dfrac{1}{2} \times [ x_1 (y_2 - y_3) + x_2(y_3 - y_1) + x_3(y_1 - y_2) ]$

Therefore, area of required triangle is given by

Area

$= \dfrac{1}{2} \times [ 1 (-6 - 5) + 4(5 - 2) + 3(2 + 6) ]$

$=\dfrac{1}{2}[-11+12+24]$

$=\dfrac{1}{2}\times25$

$=\dfrac{25}{2}\ sq.unit$

$ABC$ is an isosceles triangle. If the coordinates of the base are

$B(1,3)$ and

$C(-2,7)$ , the coordinates of vertex

$A$ can be

0%
$(1,6)$
0%
$(-1/2,5)$
0%
$(5/6,6)$
0%
none of these

Explanation

$AB=AC$

$\sqrt{(x-1)^2+(y-3)^2}=\sqrt{(x-(-2))^2+(y-7)^2}$

$(x-1)^2+(y-3)^2=(x+2)^2+(y-7)^2$

$=2x+1-6y+9=4x+4-14y+49$

$\Rightarrow 6x-8y+43=0$

By substituting

$\left(\dfrac{5}{6}, 6\right)$

$\Rightarrow \not{6}\times \dfrac{5}{\not{6}}-8\times 6+43$

$\Rightarrow 0$

Hence

$\left(\dfrac{5}{6}, 6\right)$ is answer.
