  • Question 1
    1 / -0

    The length of latus rectum of the ellipse \(3 x^{2}+y^{2}-12 x+2 y+1=0\) is:

    Solution

    As we know,

    Standard Equation of ellipse \(=\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1\)

    Length of latus rectum \(=\frac{2 b ^{2} }{a}\), when \(a > b\) and \(\frac{2 a ^{2} }{b}\), when \(a < b\).

    Given,

    \(3 x^{2}+y^{2}-12 x+2 y+1=0 \)

    \(\Rightarrow 3\left(x^{2}-4 x+4\right)-12+\left(y^{2}+2 y+1\right)=0 \)

    \(\Rightarrow 3(x-2)^{2}-12+(y+1)^{2}=0 \)

    \(\Rightarrow 3(x-2)^{2}+(y+1)^{2}=12 \)

    \(\Rightarrow \frac{3(x-2)^{2}}{12}+\frac{(y+1)^{2}}{12}=1 \) (Divide by 12)

    \(\Rightarrow \frac{(x-2)^{2}}{4}+\frac{(y+1)^{2}}{12}=1 \)

    \(\Rightarrow \frac{(x-2)^{2}}{2^{2}}+\frac{(y+1)^{2}}{(2 \sqrt{3})^{2}}=1 \)

    \(\therefore a^{2}=2^{2}\) and \(b^{2}=(2 \sqrt{3})^{2}\)

    Here \(a < b\)

    So, length of latus rectum \(=\frac{2 a ^{2} }{ b}\)

    \(=\frac{2(4)}{2 \sqrt{3}}\)

    \(=\frac{4}{\sqrt{3}}\) units

  • Question 2
    1 / -0

    Find the equation of the hyperbola, the length of whose latus rectum is 4 and the eccentricity is 3.

    Solution

    As we know that,

    Length of latus rectum of a hyperbola is given by,

    \(\frac{2 b^{2}}{a}\)

    Given,

    Eccentricity \(=3\)

    Length of latus rectum \(=4\)

    \(\Rightarrow \frac{2 b^{2}}{a}=4 \)

    \(\Rightarrow b^{2}=2 a\)

    As we know that,

    The eccentricity of a hyperbola is given by,

    \(e=\frac{\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}}}{a}\)

    \(\Rightarrow a^{2} e^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2} \)

    \(\Rightarrow (3)^2 a^{2}=a^{2}+2 a \)

    \(\Rightarrow 9 a^{2}=a^{2}+2 a \)

    \(\Rightarrow 9 a^{2}-a^{2}=2 a \)

    \(\Rightarrow 8a^{2}=2a\)

    \(\Rightarrow a=\frac{1 }{ 4} \)

    \(\Rightarrow a^2=\frac{1}{16} \)

    \(\because b^{2}=2 a \)

    \(\Rightarrow b^{2}=\frac{1 }{ 2}\)

    As we know,

    The equation of the required hyperbola is given by,

    \(\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1\)

    \(\Rightarrow \frac{x^{2}}{\frac{1}{16}}-\frac{y^{2}}{\frac{1}{2}}=1\)

    \(\Rightarrow 16 x^{2}-2 y^{2}=1\)

    So, the equation of the required hyperbola is \(16 x^{2}-2 y^{2}=1\).

  • Question 3
    1 / -0

    The equation \(x^{2}-6 x-3 y+21=0\) represents a/an:

    Solution

    As we know,

    The general equation of a non-degenerate conic section is \(A x^{2}+B x y+C y^{2}+D x+E y+F=0\) where \(A, B\) and \(C\) are all not zero.

    The above-given equation represents a non-degenerate conics whose nature is given below in the table:

    S.No

    Condition

    Nature of Conic

    1

    B = 0 and A = C

    Circle

    2

    B = 0 and Either A = 0 or C = 0

    Parabola

    3

    B = 0, A≠ C and AC > 0

    Ellipse

    4

    B = 0, A≠ C and sign of A and C are opposite

    Hyperbola

    Given,
    \(x^{2}-6 x-3 y+21=0\)
    By comparing the given equation with \(Ax ^{2}+ Bxy + Cy ^{2}+ Dx + Ey + F =0\), we get
    \( A=1, B=0, C=0, D=-6, E=-3\) and \(F=21\)
    Here, we can see that, \(B=0\) and \(C=0\)
    As we know that,
    If \(B=0\) and either \(A=0\) or \(C=0\) then the non-degenerate equation represents a parabola.
     
  • Question 4
    1 / -0

    What is the equation of the ellipse having foci \((\pm 2,0)\) and the eccentricity \(\frac{1 }{ 2}\)?

    Solution

    As we know,

    Equation of ellipse \(=\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1\)

    Foci \(=(\pm a e, 0)\)

    Eccentricity \((e)=\sqrt{1-\frac{ b ^{2}}{ a ^{2}}}\)

    Here, foci \(=(\pm 2,0)=(\pm a e, 0)\) and the eccentricity, \(e=\frac{1 }{ 2}\)

    \(ae =2\)

    \(\Rightarrow a \times \frac{1 }{ 2}=2 \)

    \(\Rightarrow a =4 \)

    \(\Rightarrow a ^{2}=16\)

    Now, \(e=\sqrt{1-\frac{b^{2}}{a^{2}}}\)

    \(\Rightarrow b^{2}=a^{2}\left(1-e^{2}\right)\)

    \(\Rightarrow b^{2}=16(1-\frac{1 }{ 4}) \)

    \(\Rightarrow b^{2}=16 \times(\frac{3 }{ 4}) \)

    \(\Rightarrow b^{2}=12\)

    \(\therefore\) Equation of ellipse is \(\frac{ x ^{2}}{16}+\frac{ y ^{2}}{12}=1\)

  • Question 5
    1 / -0

    If x = 2 + 3 cos θ and y = 1 - 3 sin θ represent a circle then the centre and radius is:

    Solution

    As we know,

    The equation of a circle is given by:

    \(\left(x-h\right)^{2}+\left(y-k\right)^{2}=r^{2}\)

    Where \(\left( h , k \right)\) is the center of the circle and \(r\) is the radius.

    Given,

    \(x=2+3 \cos \theta \)

    \(\Rightarrow 3 \cos \theta=x-2 \)..(i)

    Also \( y=1-3 \sin \theta \)

    \(\Rightarrow 3 \sin \theta=-y+1 \)...(ii)

    Squaring adding (i) & (ii), we get

    \(\left( x -2\right)^{2}+\left(-( y -1)\right)^{2}=3^{2}\left(\cos ^{2} \theta+\sin ^{2} \theta\right)\)

    \(\Rightarrow( x -2)^{2}+\left(-( y -1)\right)^{2}=3^{2}\)

    Comparing it with standard equation of a circle, we get

    Centre \(=\left(h, k\right)=\left(2,1\right)\) and radius \(=3\)

  • Question 6
    1 / -0

    The number of tangents that can be drawn from \((2,6)\) to \(x^{2}+y^{2}=40\) is:

    Solution

    As we know,

    If the point lies inside the circle no tangent can be drawn.

    If the point lies on the circle then only one tangent can be drawn.

    If the point lies outside the circle then a maximum of two tangent lines can be drawn on the circle.

    Given,

    Point \(=(2,6)\)

    Equation of circle is \(x^{2}+y^{2}=40\)

    \(x^{2}+y^{2}-40=0\)

    Substituting \((2,6)\) in this equation, we get

    \(2^{2}+6^{2}-40=0\)

    \(\Rightarrow 4+36-40=0\)

    \(\Rightarrow40-40=0\)

    So, the point \((2,6)\) lies on the circle.

    Therefore, only one tangent can be drawn.

  • Question 7
    1 / -0

    Equation of the hyperbola whose foci are (5,0) and (-3,0), eccentricity = 2, is:

    Solution

    As we know,

    The standard equation of a hyperbola:

    \(\frac{(x-h)^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{(y-k)^{2}}{b^{2}}=1\)

    where \(2 a\) and \(2 b\) are the length of the transverse axis and conjugate axis respectively and centre \((h, k)\).

    The center is the midpoint of the 2 foci.

    The eccentricity \(=\frac{\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}}}{a}\)

    Length of latus recta \(=\frac{2 b ^{2}}{ a }\)

    Distance from center to focus \(=\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}}\)

    Given,

    Foci are \((5,0)\) and \((-3,0)\).

    Center \(=\left(\frac{5+(-3)}{2}, \frac{0+0}{2}\right)=(1,0)\)

    Now distance of focus from the center \(=\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}}\)

    \(\Rightarrow \sqrt{(5-1)^{2}+(0-0)^{2}}=\sqrt{ a ^{2}+ b ^{2}} \)

    \(\Rightarrow 16=a ^{2}+ b ^{2}\)...(i)

    Eccentricity \(=2\)

    \(\therefore \frac{\sqrt{a ^{2}+ b^{2}}}{ a }=2\)

    \(\Rightarrow \frac{\sqrt{16}}{ a }=2\)

    \(\Rightarrow \frac{4}{ a }=2\)

    \(\Rightarrow a =2\)

    \(\Rightarrow a^{2}=4\)

    Putting the value of \(a\) in (i), we get

    \( 4+b^{2}=16 \)

    \(\Rightarrow b^{2}=12\)

    The equation of the hyperbola is given by:

    \(\frac{(x-h)^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{(y-k)^{2}}{b^{2}}=1 \)

    \(\Rightarrow \frac{(x-1)^{2}}{4}-\frac{(y-0)^{2}}{12}=1 \)

    \(\Rightarrow \frac{(x-1)^{2}}{4}-\frac{y^{2}}{12}=1\)

  • Question 8
    1 / -0

    The equations x = a cos θ - b sin θ , and y = a sin θ + b cos θ, 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π represent:

    Solution

    As we know,

    The general equation of a non-degenerate conic section is \(ax^2 + 2hxy + by^2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0\) where \(a, h\) and \(b\) are all not zero

    The above-given equation represents a non-degenerate conics whose nature is given below in the table:

    S.No

    Condition

    Nature of Conic

    1

    h = 0 and a = b

    Circle

    2

    h = 0 and Either a = 0 or b = 0

    Parabola

    3

    h = 0, a≠ b and ab > 0

    Ellipse

    4

    h = 0, a≠ b and sign of a and b are opposite

    Hyperbola

    Given,

    \(x=a \cos \theta-b \sin \theta \)...(i)

    \(y=a \sin \theta+b \cos \theta\)...(ii)

    Squaring both sides of (i) and (ii) and adding both the equation we get,

    \(x^{2}+y^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}\)

    By comparing the given equation with \(a x^{2}+2 h x y+b y^{2}+2 g x+2 f y+c=0\), we get

    \( a =1, h =0, b =1\)

    As we can see that \(h =0, a = b\)

    So, the equation represents the locus of the circle.

     
  • Question 9
    1 / -0

    Find the equation of directrix of the parabola \(y^{2}+8 y-12 x+4=0 \).

    Solution
    As we know,
    General equation of Parabola \(( y - k )^{2}=4 a ( x - h )\) and directrix of parabola \(y ^{2}=4 ax\) is \(x =- a\).
    Given,
    The equation of parabola is \(y ^{2}+8 y -12 x +4=0\).
    \(\Rightarrow y^{2}+8 y+16-16-12 x+4=0 \)
    \(\Rightarrow(y+4)^{2}-16-12 x+4=0 \)
    \(\Rightarrow(y+4)^{2}=12 x+16-4 \)
    \(\Rightarrow(y+4)^{2}=12 x+12 \)
    \(\Rightarrow(y+4)^{2}=12(x+1)\)
    Let, 
    \( y+4=Y\)
    \(x+1=X \)...(i)
    \(\therefore Y^{2}=12 X\)
    Comparing it with \(Y^{2}=4 aX\) we get
    \( a =3\)...(ii)
    As we know that directrix of parabola \(Y^{2}=4 aX\) is given by,
    \(X=-a\)
    \(\Rightarrow X=-3\)
    From equation (i), we get
    \(x+1=-3 \)
    \(\Rightarrow x+4=0\)
    So, equation of directrix is \(x+4=0\).
     
  • Question 10
    1 / -0

    Find the asymptotes to the hyperbola \(9 x^{2}-16 y^{2}=144\).

    Solution
    Given,
    The equation of hyperbola is \(9 x^{2}-16 y^{2}=144\).
    The given equation of hyperbola can be re-written as,
    \(\frac{x^{2}}{16}-\frac{y^{2}}{9}=1\)
    By comparing the above equation with \(\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1\), we get
    \( a =4\) and \(b =3\)
    As we know that,
    The asymptotes to the hyperbola \(\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1\) are given by,
    \(y=\pm \frac{b}{a} x\)
    So, the required asymptotes are given by,
    \(y=\pm \frac{3}{4} x\)
