The straight line `3x+4y-12=0` meets the coordinate axes at `Aa n dB` . An equilateral triangle `A B C` is constructed. The possible coordinates of vertex `C` `(2(1-(3sqrt(3))/4),3/2(1-4/(sqrt(3))))` `(-2(1+sqrt(3)),3/2(1-sqrt(3)))` `(2(1+sqrt(3)),3/2(1+sqrt(3)))` `(2(1+(3sqrt(3))/4),3/2(1+4/(sqrt(3))))`

A

`(2(1-(3sqrt(3))/(4)), (3)/(2) (1-(4)/(sqrt(3))))`

B

`(-2(1+sqrt(3)), (3)/(2) (1-sqrt(3)))`

C

`(2(1+sqrt(3)), (3)/(2) (1+sqrt(3)))`

D

`(2(1+(3sqrt(3))/(4)), (3)/(2) (1+(4)/sqrt(3)))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, D


AB =5, `D-=(2,(3)/(2))`
`CD = 5 xx (sqrt(3))/(2) = (5sqrt(3))/(2)`
`"Slope of AB" =-(3)/(4)`
Slope of CD `=(3)/(4)`
If `C-=(h,k), "then"`
`(h-2)/(3//5) = (k-3//2)/(4//5) = +-(5sqrt(3))/(2)`
`"or " h=2(1-(3sqrt(3))/(4)), k=(3)/(2)(1-(4)/(sqrt(3)))`
`"or " h=2(1+(3sqrt(3))/(4)), k=(3)/(2)(1+(4)/(sqrt(3)))`

The straight line 3x+4y-12=0 meets the coordinate axes at Aa n dB . An equilateral triangle A B C is constructed. The possible coordinates of vertex C (a) (2(1-(3sqrt(3))/4),3/2(1-4/(sqrt(3)))) (b)(-2(1+sqrt(3)),3/2(1-sqrt(3))) (c)(2(1+sqrt(3)),3/2(1+sqrt(3))) (d)(2(1+(3sqrt(3))/4),3/2(1+4/(sqrt(3))))

((2+sqrt(3))/2)/(1+(sqrt(3)+1)/2) + ((2-sqrt(3))/2)/(1-((sqrt(3)-1)/2))

(2+sqrt(3))/(2-sqrt(3))+(2-sqrt(3))/(2+sqrt(3))+(sqrt(3)+1)/(sqrt(3)-1)is

sqrt((4)/(3))-sqrt((3)/(4))=?(4sqrt(3))/(6) (b) (1)/(2sqrt(3))(c)1(d)-(1)/(2sqrt(3))

The value of (2 + sqrt(3))/(2- sqrt(3)) + (2- sqrt(3))/(2 + sqrt(3)) + ( sqrt(3) + 1)/(sqrt(3) -1) is

if x=sqrt(3)+(1)/(sqrt(3)) and y=sqrt(3)-(1)/(sqrt(3)) then x^(2)-y^(2) is

(sqrt(2)(2+sqrt(3)))/(sqrt(3)(sqrt(3)+1))-(sqrt(2)(2-sqrt(3)))/(sqrt(3)(sqrt(3)-1))

If a=(sqrt(3))/(2), then sqrt(1+a)+sqrt(1-a)=?(2-sqrt(3))(b)(2+sqrt(3))(c)((sqrt(3))/(2))(d)sqrt(3)
