Find a point at which origin is shifted such that transformed equation of 2x^(2)+y^(2)-12xy+16=0 has no term containing x and constant term.

Answer»

Solution :Let origin be shifted to the point `(h,k)`.
`:. "Put" x=X+h` and `y=Y+km`
`2(X+h)^(2)+(Y+k)^(2)-12(X+h)+(Y+k)+16=0`
`impliesX^(2)+2h^(2)+4hX+Y^(2)+k^(2)+2kY-12X-12h+Y+k+16=0`
`implies 2X^(2)+Y^(2)+X(4h-12)+Y(2k+1)+(2h^(2)+k^(2)-12h+k+16)-0`……`(1)`
The EQUATION will be INDEPENDENT of `X` if
`4h-12=0`
`implies h=3`
The equation will be independent of CONSTANT term if
`2h^(2)+k^(2)-12h+k+16=0`
`implies18+k^(2)-36+k+16=0`
`k^(2)+k-2=0`
`implies (k+2)(k-1)=0`
`implies k=-2` or `k=1`
`:.` Required point is `(3,-2)` or `(3,1)`
