The correct Answer is:
To find the area of the triangle formed by the lines \(y = m_1 x\), \(y = m_2 x\), and \(y = 2\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the roots \(m_1\) and \(m_2\) of the quadratic equation The given equation is: \[ x^2 + (\sqrt{3} + 2)x + (\sqrt{3} - 1) = 0 \] Using the quadratic formula \(x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\), where \(a = 1\), \(b = \sqrt{3} + 2\), and \(c = \sqrt{3} - 1\): 1. Calculate the discriminant: \[ D = b^2 - 4ac = (\sqrt{3} + 2)^2 - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot (\sqrt{3} - 1) \] Expanding this gives: \[ D = (3 + 4\sqrt{3} + 4) - (4\sqrt{3} - 4) = 7 + 4 \] Thus, \(D = 11\). 2. Now, substitute back into the quadratic formula: \[ m_1, m_2 = \frac{-(\sqrt{3} + 2) \pm \sqrt{11}}{2} \] ### Step 2: Determine the coordinates of the triangle vertices The lines intersect at the following points: 1. **Point A** (intersection of \(y = m_1 x\) and \(y = 2\)): \[ 2 = m_1 x \Rightarrow x = \frac{2}{m_1} \Rightarrow A\left(\frac{2}{m_1}, 2\right) \] 2. **Point B** (intersection of \(y = m_2 x\) and \(y = 2\)): \[ 2 = m_2 x \Rightarrow x = \frac{2}{m_2} \Rightarrow B\left(\frac{2}{m_2}, 2\right) \] 3. **Point C** (intersection of \(y = m_1 x\) and \(y = m_2 x\)): \[ m_1 x = m_2 x \Rightarrow x = 0 \Rightarrow C(0, 0) \] ### Step 3: Calculate the area of the triangle The area \(A\) of triangle formed by points \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\) can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \left| x_1(y_2 - y_3) + x_2(y_3 - y_1) + x_3(y_1 - y_2) \right| \] Substituting the coordinates: \[ x_1 = \frac{2}{m_1}, y_1 = 2, x_2 = \frac{2}{m_2}, y_2 = 2, x_3 = 0, y_3 = 0 \] The area becomes: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \left| \frac{2}{m_1}(2 - 0) + \frac{2}{m_2}(0 - 2) + 0(2 - 2) \right| \] This simplifies to: \[ = \frac{1}{2} \left| \frac{4}{m_1} - \frac{4}{m_2} \right| = 2 \left| \frac{1}{m_1} - \frac{1}{m_2} \right| \] ### Step 4: Express \(\left| \frac{1}{m_1} - \frac{1}{m_2} \right|\) Using the relationship between roots: \[ \left| \frac{1}{m_1} - \frac{1}{m_2} \right| = \frac{|m_2 - m_1|}{m_1 m_2} \] From the quadratic roots, we know: - \(m_1 + m_2 = -(\sqrt{3} + 2)\) - \(m_1 m_2 = \sqrt{3} - 1\) ### Step 5: Calculate \(|m_2 - m_1|\) Using the formula: \[ |m_2 - m_1| = \sqrt{(m_1 + m_2)^2 - 4m_1 m_2} \] Substituting the values: \[ = \sqrt{(-\sqrt{3} - 2)^2 - 4(\sqrt{3} - 1)} = \sqrt{(3 + 4\sqrt{3} + 4) - (4\sqrt{3} - 4)} = \sqrt{11} \] ### Step 6: Final area calculation Substituting back: \[ \text{Area} = 2 \cdot \frac{\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt{3} - 1} \] Rationalizing: \[ = 2 \cdot \frac{\sqrt{11}(\sqrt{3} + 1)}{(\sqrt{3})^2 - 1^2} = 2 \cdot \frac{\sqrt{11}(\sqrt{3} + 1)}{2} = \sqrt{11}(\sqrt{3} + 1) \] ### Conclusion Thus, the area of the triangle is: \[ \text{Area} = \sqrt{33} + \sqrt{11} \text{ square units.} \]
