The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the locus of the intersection of two straight lines passing through the points (1, 0) and (-1, 0) respectively, and including an angle of 45 degrees, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the points and slopes Let the intersection point of the two lines be (H, K). The slopes of the lines passing through the points (1, 0) and (-1, 0) can be defined as follows: - For the line through (1, 0): \[ M_1 = \frac{K - 0}{H - 1} = \frac{K}{H - 1} \] - For the line through (-1, 0): \[ M_2 = \frac{K - 0}{H + 1} = \frac{K}{H + 1} \] ### Step 2: Use the angle between the lines Since the angle between the two lines is 45 degrees, we can use the formula for the tangent of the angle between two lines: \[ \tan(\theta) = \left| \frac{M_1 - M_2}{1 + M_1 M_2} \right| \] For \(\theta = 45^\circ\), \(\tan(45^\circ) = 1\). Therefore, we have: \[ 1 = \left| \frac{\frac{K}{H - 1} - \frac{K}{H + 1}}{1 + \frac{K}{H - 1} \cdot \frac{K}{H + 1}} \right| \] ### Step 3: Simplify the equation Now, simplifying the left-hand side: \[ \frac{K}{H - 1} - \frac{K}{H + 1} = K \left( \frac{(H + 1) - (H - 1)}{(H - 1)(H + 1)} \right) = K \left( \frac{2}{H^2 - 1} \right) \] And for the denominator: \[ 1 + \frac{K^2}{(H - 1)(H + 1)} = \frac{(H^2 - 1) + K^2}{H^2 - 1} \] Thus, we can rewrite the equation as: \[ 1 = \left| \frac{K \cdot 2}{H^2 - 1 + K^2} \right| \] ### Step 4: Set up the equations Cross-multiplying gives us: \[ H^2 - 1 + K^2 = 2K \quad \text{or} \quad H^2 - 1 + K^2 = -2K \] ### Step 5: Rearranging both cases 1. **First case**: \[ H^2 + K^2 - 2K - 1 = 0 \implies H^2 + (K - 1)^2 = 2 \] This represents a circle with center (0, 1) and radius \(\sqrt{2}\). 2. **Second case**: \[ H^2 + K^2 + 2K - 1 = 0 \implies H^2 + (K + 1)^2 = 2 \] This represents a circle with center (0, -1) and radius \(\sqrt{2}\). ### Conclusion The locus of the intersection points of the two lines is a circle centered at either (0, 1) with radius \(\sqrt{2}\) or (0, -1) with radius \(\sqrt{2}\). ### Final Answer Thus, the correct options are: - (c) center (0, 1) and radius \(\sqrt{2}\) - (d) center (0, -1) and radius \(\sqrt{2}\) ---
