The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the values of \(\lambda\) given the triangle \(ABC\) with vertices \(A(1, -1)\), \(B(0, 2)\), and \(C(x', y')\) where the area of triangle \(ABC\) is 5, and point \(C\) lies on the line defined by the equation \(3x + y - 4\lambda = 0\). ### Step 1: Use the Area Formula for a Triangle The area \(A\) of triangle \(ABC\) can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \left| x_1(y_2 - y_3) + x_2(y_3 - y_1) + x_3(y_1 - y_2) \right| \] Where \((x_1, y_1)\), \((x_2, y_2)\), and \((x_3, y_3)\) are the coordinates of points \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\) respectively. ### Step 2: Substitute the Coordinates Substituting the coordinates of points \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\): - \(A(1, -1)\) \(\Rightarrow x_1 = 1, y_1 = -1\) - \(B(0, 2)\) \(\Rightarrow x_2 = 0, y_2 = 2\) - \(C(x', y')\) \(\Rightarrow x_3 = x', y_3 = y'\) The area becomes: \[ 5 = \frac{1}{2} \left| 1(2 - y') + 0(y' + 1) + x'(-1 - 2) \right| \] This simplifies to: \[ 5 = \frac{1}{2} \left| 2 - y' - 3x' \right| \] ### Step 3: Remove the Absolute Value Removing the absolute value gives us two equations: \[ 2 - y' - 3x' = 10 \quad \text{(1)} \] \[ 2 - y' - 3x' = -10 \quad \text{(2)} \] ### Step 4: Solve the Equations From equation (1): \[ -3x' - y' = 8 \quad \Rightarrow 3x' + y' = -8 \quad \text{(3)} \] From equation (2): \[ -3x' - y' = -12 \quad \Rightarrow 3x' + y' = 2 \quad \text{(4)} \] ### Step 5: Use the Line Equation The point \(C(x', y')\) lies on the line given by: \[ 3x' + y' - 4\lambda = 0 \] Substituting equations (3) and (4) into this line equation: 1. From equation (3): \[ -4\lambda = -8 \quad \Rightarrow \lambda = 2 \] 2. From equation (4): \[ -4\lambda = 2 \quad \Rightarrow \lambda = -\frac{1}{2} \] ### Step 6: Final Values of \(\lambda\) Thus, the possible values of \(\lambda\) are \(2\) and \(-\frac{1}{2}\). ### Conclusion The values of \(\lambda\) are: \[ \lambda = 2 \quad \text{and} \quad \lambda = -\frac{1}{2} \]

To solve the problem, we need to find the values of \(\lambda\) given the triangle \(ABC\) with vertices \(A(1, -1)\), \(B(0, 2)\), and \(C(x', y')\) where the area of triangle \(ABC\) is 5, and point \(C\) lies on the line defined by the equation \(3x + y - 4\lambda = 0\). ### Step 1: Use the Area Formula for a Triangle The area \(A\) of triangle \(ABC\) can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \left| x_1(y_2 - y_3) + x_2(y_3 - y_1) + x_3(y_1 - y_2) \right| \] Where \((x_1, y_1)\), \((x_2, y_2)\), and \((x_3, y_3)\) are the coordinates of points \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\) respectively. ...
