If `x^2+2h x y+y^2=0` represents the equation of the straight lines through the origin which make an angle `alpha` with the straight line `y+x=0` `s e c2alpha=h` `cosalpha` `=sqrt(((1+h))/((2h)))` `2sinalpha` `=sqrt(((1+h))/h)` (d) `cotalpha` `=sqrt(((1+h))/((h-1)))`

A

`sec 2 alpha = h`

B

`cos alpha = sqrt((1+h)/(2h))`

C

`m_(1)+m_(2) =- 2 sec 2 alpha`

D

`cot alpha = sqrt((h+1)/(h-1))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, C, D

Let lines `x^(2) +2hxy +y^(2) =0` be given by `y = m_(1)x` and `y = m_(2)x`
`:. m_(1) +m_(2) =- 2h`
Slope of `y +x =0` is `-1`
`:. tan alpha = |(m_(1)+1)/(1-m_(1))|` and `tan alpha = |(m_(2)+1)/(1-m_(2))|`
`:. tan alpha =(m_(1)+1)/(1-m_(1))` and `tan alpha =- ((m_(2)+1)/(1-m_(2)))`
(for `+ve` signs, in both given the same value but `m_(1) ne m_(2))`.
`rArr m_(1) = (tan alpha -1)/(tan alpha +1), m_(2) = (tan alpha +1)/(tan alpha -1)`
`rArr m_(1) +m_(2) =- 2 sec 2 alpha`
`rArr h = sec 2 alpha`
`rArr cos 2 alpha = (1)/(h)`
`rArr2 cos^(2) alpha -1 =(1)/(h)`
`rArr cos alpha =((1+h)/(2h))^((1)/(2)) rArr cot alpha = sqrt((h+1)/(h-1))`
