Find the locus of the image of the point (2,3) on the line (2x-3y+4) + lambda (x-2y+3). Here lambda is any constant.​

Answer»

Given:

A point P(2,3)

A line (2x-3y+4)+λ(x-2y+3)=0

To FIND:

The locus of the image of the point P(2,3) on the line (2x-3y+4)+λ(x-2y+3)=0

Diagram:

\setlength{\unitlength}{1cm}\thicklines\begin{picture}(30,15)\put(0,0){\line(2,1){5}}\put(0,2.5){\line(2,-1){5}}\thinlines\multiput(0,1.23)(0.4,0){14}{\line(1,0){0.2}}\multiput(2.49,2.95)(0,-0.4){9}{\line(0,-1){0.2}}\put(3.39,2.6){\circle*{0.1}}\put(3.7,2.7){$P(2,3)$}\put(1.48,-0.24){\circle*{0.1}}\put(0.5,-0.7){$R(h,k)$}\put(2.48,1.24){\circle*{0.2}}\put(1.6,1.7){$Q(1,2)$}\put(1.48,-0.24){\line(2,3){2}}\put(6.5,2){$(2x-3y+4=0)$}\put(6.67,0.4){$x-2y+3=0$}\put(6.5,2.1){\vector(-1,0){2}}\put(6.6,0.5){\vector(-1,0){2.1}}\end{picture}

Here, dotted lines and line PQR are some of those lines which passes through point Q.

Solution:

Here, the equation (2x-3y+4)+λ(x-2y+3)=0 represents the equations of all those lines which passes through the intersection of line 2x-3y+4=0 and x-2y+3=0

LET the intersection point of lines 2x-3y+4=0 and x-2y+3=0 be Q

Now, here

\rm{2x-3y+4=0}------(1)

\rm{x-2y+3=0}-------(2)

On multiplying (2) by 2, we get

\rm{2x-4y+6=0}-------(3)

On subtracting (2) from (1), we get

\rm{2x-3y+4-(2x-4y+6)=0}

\rm{2x-3y+4-2x+4y-6=0}

\rm{y-2=0}

\rm{y=2}

On putting y=2 in (1), we get

\rm{2x-3(2)+4=0}

\rm{2x-6+4=0}

\rm{2x-2=0}

\rm{2x=2}

\rm{x=\dfrac{2}{2}}

\rm{x=1}

So, the coordinates of point Q is (1,2)

\rule{190}{1}

Now, let the image of point P be R(h,k)

Since, point R is image of P,

So,by geometry

\longrightarrow\rm{PQ=QR}

Using Distance formula,

\sf{\sqrt{(1-2)^{2}+(2-3)^{2}}=\sqrt{(h-1)^{2}+(k-2)^{2}}}

On SQUARING both the sides, we get

\rm{(1-2)^{2}+(2-3)^{2}=(h-1)^{2}+(k-2)^{2}}

\sf{(-1)^{2}+(-1)^{2}=h^{2}+(1)^{2}-2h+k^{2}+(2)^{2}-4k}

\rm{1+1=h^{2}+1-2h+k^{2}+4-4k}

\rm{2=h^{2}-2h+k^{2}-4k+5}

\rm{h^{2}-2h+k^{2}-4k+5=2}

\rm{h^{2}+k^{2}-2h-4k+5-2=0}

\rm{h^{2}+k^{2}-2h-4k+3=0}

On substituting (h,k) with (x,y), we get

\longrightarrow\rm\green{x^{2}+y^{2}-2x-4y+3=0}

Hence, the locus of the image of the point P(2,3) on the line (2x-3y+4)+λ(x-2y+3)=0 is x²+y²-2x-4y+3=0.

In a dark room there are 27 red balls,30 white balls and 15 blue balls.what is the minimum number of balls of 3 balls of same colour​

Answer»

Answer:

if you mean what is he minimum number of balls you have to

pick to be sure of having 3 balls of the same colour your answer is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to say 3 balls it will be wrong because it is possible to pick all different colours and have only 1 of each colour, but we want 3 of he same colour

IFyou keep dealing with worst CASE scenario you wont ge 3 of the same colour until you pick 7

lets even try 6

1st pick = red ball

2nd pick = blue ball

3rd pick = WHITE ball

4th pick = red ball

5th pick = blue ball

6th pick = white ball we still have just two of every colour

but if we picked a 7H colour it will either be red,blue or white because those are the only colours available bu no mater what we are sure of at LEAST THREE of whatever colour we pick

A trader Mark's his good at 50 percent above the cost price but allows a discount of 20 percent on the market price. Calculate his gain percent.

Answer» 50 percent of cost price
20 percent discount
50-20 = 30 percent as gain percent
it also can be more than 30 but here no cost price or SELLING price is GIVEN
So gain or profit percent is 30 percent

To get a maturity value of ₹ 65,592 at the rate of 9% with the monthly instalment of ₹ 1,600, whatshould be the time period of the account?​

Answer»

Given : a MATURITY value of ₹ 65,592 at the rate of 9% with the monthly instalment of ₹ 1,600

To FIND : what  should be the time period of the account?​

Solution:

Monthly installments  =  ₹ 1,600

Let SAY n month is time period

=> Amount invested  = 1600n

interest for amount deposited 1st month  = 1600 * 9 * n/12) /100  =  12n

interest for amount deposited 2nd month  = 1600 * 9 * ((n-1)/12) /100  =  12(n-1)

Total amount  =  1600n + 12n + 12(n-1) +......................12

= 1600n + 12 ( n + (n-1) + ............ + 1)

= 1600n + 12 n(n+1)/2

= 1600 n+  6n² + 6n  

6n² +  1606n   = 65592

=> 6n²  + 1606n  - 65592 = 0

=>3n²  +803n  - 32796 = 0

=> n = 36

time period of the account  = 36  months

Prove that is irrational

Answer»

Let 7-15/4 be a rational number

Then,

It can be written in the form of p/q as it is rational so,

7-√15/4=p/q

7=p/q+√15/4

As p/q is rational and √15/4 is irrational so teir sum will be irrational.

This means that

7=irrational

But this contadicts the fact that 7 is rational

and this contradiction arise when we assume

7-√15/4 is rational

Hence,7-√15/4 is irrational.

A Blue Jay wanted to store some acorns for the winter. If she hides 18 acorns per tree, she will be left with four acorns; if she hides 20 acorns per tree, there will be extra space for an additional four acorns (the number of trees is always the same). How many acorns is the Blue Jay going to store for the winter, and in how many trees?

Answer»

Given:

A Blue Jay wanted to store some acorns for the winter. If she hides 18 acorns per tree, she will be left with four acorns; if she hides 20 acorns per tree, there will be extra space for an additional four acorns (the number of trees is always the same).  

To FIND:

How many acorns is the Blue Jay going to store for the winter, and in how many trees?

SOLUTION:

From given, we have,

The number of trees is always the same, so, LET the number of trees = x

A Blue Jay hides 18 acorns per tree, she will be left with four acorns

18x + 4 = 0 .....(1)

A Blue Jay hides 20 acorns per tree, she will be left with four spaces

20x - 4 = 0 ........(2)

equating equations (1) and (2), we get,

18x + 4 = 20x - 4

4 + 4 = 20x - 18x

8 = 2x

x = 4

Therefore, the number of trees is 4.

The number of acorns is given by,

18x + 4  = 18(4) + 4 = 72 + 4 = 76

OR

20x - 4 = 20(4) - 4 = 80 - 4 = 76

Therefore, the number of acorns is 76.

Therefore, 76 acorns is the Blue Jay going to store for the winter, and in 4 trees

Find the zeroes of the polynomial and verify the relationship between the zeroes and the coefficients4x^-17x-21

Answer»

We have,

4x² - 17X - 21

By Splitting middle term

= 4x² - 21X + 4x - 21

= x ( 4x - 21 ) + 1 ( 4x - 21 )

= ( x + 1 ) ( 4x - 21 )

So,to FIND zeroes of the polynomial: 4x² - 17x - 21 will be 0.

Hence ( x + 1 ) = 0 and ( 4x - 21 ) = 0

So,

x = -1 and x = 21/4

Therefore, the zeroes of polynomial: 4x² - 17x - 21 are -1 and 21/4.

Verification:-

Sum of the zeroes: - Coefficient of x/Coefficient of x²

⇒ - 1 + 21/4 = - ( -17 ) / 4

⇒ -4 + 21 / 4 = 17 / 4

⇒ 17 / 4 = 17 / 4

Product of the zeroes: Constant term/Coefficient of x²

⇒ - 1 × 21/4 = -21/4

⇒ -21 / 4 = -21/4

verified.

Jonathan collects spiders and beetles. In total, all the insects in his collection have 76 legs and 11 heads. How many of each insect did he collect? (Note: beetles have 6 legs and spiders have 8 legs.)

Answer»

Let , number of SPIDER = x

And. number of Beetles = y

So,. x + y = 11

x = 11-y. ----------(I)

And , 8X + 6y = 76

=> 8(11-y) + 6y =76. { From (i)}

=> 88-8y+6y =76

=> -2y = 76-88

=> y = -12/-2

= 6

So, the number of beetles is y = 6

And the number of spiders is x = 11-y

= 11-6

= 5

The value of k, for which one root of the quadratic equation kx2 -14x +8 =0 is six times the other.

Answer»

Answer:

Let a root be r. Then other root is 6r

Then, r+6r = - (-14)/K and r.6r = 8/k

Hence, 7r = 14/k i.e r = 2/k

So, 6.(2/k)^2 = 8/k

=> 24/(k^2) = 8/k

=> k = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Putting k you get the roots as 4 and 2/3 which are the roots of the equation. ALSO, 4 is 6 TIMES that of 2/3
