The correct Answer is:
To find the orthocenter of the triangle formed by the lines \(x + y - 1 = 0\), \(2x + y - 1 = 0\), and \(y = 0\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the vertices of the triangle We need to find the points of intersection of the lines to determine the vertices of the triangle. 1. **Intersection of \(x + y - 1 = 0\) and \(y = 0\)**: \[ x + 0 - 1 = 0 \implies x = 1 \implies (1, 0) \] 2. **Intersection of \(2x + y - 1 = 0\) and \(y = 0\)**: \[ 2x + 0 - 1 = 0 \implies 2x = 1 \implies x = \frac{1}{2} \implies \left(\frac{1}{2}, 0\right) \] 3. **Intersection of \(x + y - 1 = 0\) and \(2x + y - 1 = 0\)**: We can solve these equations simultaneously. From the first equation, we have: \[ y = 1 - x \] Substituting into the second equation: \[ 2x + (1 - x) - 1 = 0 \implies 2x - x + 1 - 1 = 0 \implies x = 0 \] Now substituting \(x = 0\) back into \(y = 1 - x\): \[ y = 1 - 0 = 1 \implies (0, 1) \] Thus, the vertices of the triangle are \(A(1, 0)\), \(B\left(\frac{1}{2}, 0\right)\), and \(C(0, 1)\). ### Step 2: Find the slopes of the sides of the triangle 1. **Slope of line AB** (between points \(A(1, 0)\) and \(B\left(\frac{1}{2}, 0\right)\)): \[ \text{slope}_{AB} = \frac{0 - 0}{\frac{1}{2} - 1} = 0 \] 2. **Slope of line AC** (between points \(A(1, 0)\) and \(C(0, 1)\)): \[ \text{slope}_{AC} = \frac{1 - 0}{0 - 1} = -1 \] 3. **Slope of line BC** (between points \(B\left(\frac{1}{2}, 0\right)\) and \(C(0, 1)\)): \[ \text{slope}_{BC} = \frac{1 - 0}{0 - \frac{1}{2}} = -2 \] ### Step 3: Find the angles at each vertex Using the slopes, we can find the angles: 1. **Angle at A**: \[ \tan A = \left| \frac{\text{slope}_{AC} - \text{slope}_{AB}}{1 + \text{slope}_{AC} \cdot \text{slope}_{AB}} \right| = \left| \frac{-1 - 0}{1 + 0} \right| = 1 \implies A = 45^\circ \] 2. **Angle at B**: \[ \tan B = \left| \frac{\text{slope}_{BC} - \text{slope}_{AB}}{1 + \text{slope}_{BC} \cdot \text{slope}_{AB}} \right| = \left| \frac{-2 - 0}{1 + 0} \right| = 2 \implies B = 63.43^\circ \] 3. **Angle at C**: \[ \tan C = \left| \frac{\text{slope}_{AC} - \text{slope}_{BC}}{1 + \text{slope}_{AC} \cdot \text{slope}_{BC}} \right| = \left| \frac{-1 - (-2)}{1 + (-1)(-2)} \right| = \frac{1}{3} \implies C = 18.43^\circ \] ### Step 4: Calculate the orthocenter coordinates Using the formula for the orthocenter \((h, k)\): \[ h = \frac{x_1 \tan A + x_2 \tan B + x_3 \tan C}{\tan A + \tan B + \tan C} \] \[ k = \frac{y_1 \tan A + y_2 \tan B + y_3 \tan C}{\tan A + \tan B + \tan C} \] Substituting the values: - \(A(1, 0)\), \(B\left(\frac{1}{2}, 0\right)\), \(C(0, 1)\) - \(\tan A = 1\), \(\tan B = 2\), \(\tan C = \frac{1}{3}\) Calculating \(h\): \[ h = \frac{1 \cdot 1 + \frac{1}{2} \cdot 2 + 0 \cdot \frac{1}{3}}{1 + 2 + \frac{1}{3}} = \frac{1 + 1 + 0}{3 + \frac{1}{3}} = \frac{2}{\frac{10}{3}} = \frac{6}{10} = \frac{3}{5} \] Calculating \(k\): \[ k = \frac{0 \cdot 1 + 0 \cdot 2 + 1 \cdot \frac{1}{3}}{1 + 2 + \frac{1}{3}} = \frac{0 + 0 + \frac{1}{3}}{3 + \frac{1}{3}} = \frac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{10}{3}} = \frac{1}{10} \] ### Step 5: Calculate \(\frac{1}{k^2}\) Now we need to find \(\frac{1}{k^2}\): \[ k = \frac{1}{10} \implies k^2 = \left(\frac{1}{10}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{100} \] \[ \frac{1}{k^2} = 100 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of \(\frac{1}{k^2}\) is \(\boxed{100}\).
