The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we start with the given equation: \[ \frac{a}{\sqrt{bc}} - 2 = \sqrt{\frac{b}{c}} + \sqrt{\frac{c}{b}} \] ### Step 1: Rearranging the Equation We can rearrange the equation to isolate \(a\): \[ \frac{a}{\sqrt{bc}} = 2 + \sqrt{\frac{b}{c}} + \sqrt{\frac{c}{b}} \] ### Step 2: Finding a Common Denominator Next, we can find a common denominator for the right-hand side. The common denominator for \(\sqrt{bc}\) is \(\sqrt{bc}\): \[ \frac{a}{\sqrt{bc}} = 2 + \frac{\sqrt{b^2} + \sqrt{c^2}}{\sqrt{bc}} = 2 + \frac{\sqrt{b} \cdot \sqrt{c} + \sqrt{c} \cdot \sqrt{b}}{\sqrt{bc}} \] ### Step 3: Simplifying the Right Side This simplifies to: \[ \frac{a}{\sqrt{bc}} = 2 + \frac{2\sqrt{bc}}{\sqrt{bc}} = 2 + 2 = 4 \] ### Step 4: Solving for \(a\) Now, we can solve for \(a\): \[ a = 4\sqrt{bc} \] ### Step 5: Analyzing the Family of Lines The family of lines is given by: \[ \sqrt{a}x + \sqrt{b}y + \sqrt{c} = 0 \] Substituting \(a = 4\sqrt{bc}\): \[ \sqrt{4\sqrt{bc}}x + \sqrt{b}y + \sqrt{c} = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2(\sqrt[4]{b}\sqrt[4]{c})x + \sqrt{b}y + \sqrt{c} = 0 \] ### Step 6: Finding the Fixed Point To find the fixed point, we can substitute the coordinates of the options into the equation. Let's check option (d) \((-1, 1)\): Substituting \(x = -1\) and \(y = 1\): \[ 2(\sqrt[4]{b}\sqrt[4]{c})(-1) + \sqrt{b}(1) + \sqrt{c} = 0 \] This gives: \[ -2\sqrt[4]{bc} + \sqrt{b} + \sqrt{c} = 0 \] Rearranging gives: \[ \sqrt{b} + \sqrt{c} = 2\sqrt[4]{bc} \] ### Step 7: Verifying the Condition This condition is satisfied if we apply the identity \(x^2 + y^2 \geq 2xy\) (the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality), which holds true for positive \(b\) and \(c\). Thus, the line passes through the fixed point \((-1, 1)\). ### Conclusion The family of lines passes through the fixed point: \[ \text{Answer: } (-1, 1) \]

To solve the problem, we start with the given equation: \[ \frac{a}{\sqrt{bc}} - 2 = \sqrt{\frac{b}{c}} + \sqrt{\frac{c}{b}} \] ### Step 1: Rearranging the Equation We can rearrange the equation to isolate \(a\): ...
