The correct Answer is:
To find the area of the triangle formed by the lines \(y = m_1 x\), \(y = m_2 x\), and \(y = c\), where \(m_1\) and \(m_2\) are the roots of the equation \(x^2 + (\sqrt{3} + 2)x + (\sqrt{3} - 1) = 0\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the roots \(m_1\) and \(m_2\) We will use the quadratic formula to find the roots of the equation: \[ x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{D}}{2a} \] where \(D = b^2 - 4ac\). Here, \(a = 1\), \(b = \sqrt{3} + 2\), and \(c = \sqrt{3} - 1\). First, calculate the discriminant \(D\): \[ D = (\sqrt{3} + 2)^2 - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot (\sqrt{3} - 1) \] Calculating \(D\): \[ D = (3 + 4\sqrt{3} + 4) - (4\sqrt{3} - 4) = 7 + 4 \] \[ D = 11 \] Now, substituting back into the quadratic formula: \[ m_1, m_2 = \frac{-(\sqrt{3} + 2) \pm \sqrt{11}}{2} \] ### Step 2: Coordinates of the points of intersection The points of intersection of the lines with \(y = c\) can be found by setting \(y = c\) in the equations of the lines: - For \(y = m_1 x\): \[ c = m_1 x \implies x = \frac{c}{m_1} \implies \text{Point Q} = \left(\frac{c}{m_1}, c\right) \] - For \(y = m_2 x\): \[ c = m_2 x \implies x = \frac{c}{m_2} \implies \text{Point R} = \left(\frac{c}{m_2}, c\right) \] - The third point \(P\) is the origin: \(P = (0, 0)\). ### Step 3: Area of the triangle The area \(A\) of the triangle formed by points \(P\), \(Q\), and \(R\) can be calculated using the formula: \[ A = \frac{1}{2} \left| x_1(y_2 - y_3) + x_2(y_3 - y_1) + x_3(y_1 - y_2) \right| \] Substituting the coordinates: \[ A = \frac{1}{2} \left| 0(c - c) + \frac{c}{m_1}(c - 0) + \frac{c}{m_2}(0 - c) \right| \] This simplifies to: \[ A = \frac{1}{2} \left| \frac{c^2}{m_1} - \frac{c^2}{m_2} \right| = \frac{c^2}{2} \left| \frac{1}{m_1} - \frac{1}{m_2} \right| \] Using the identity \(\frac{1}{m_1} - \frac{1}{m_2} = \frac{m_2 - m_1}{m_1 m_2}\): \[ A = \frac{c^2}{2} \cdot \frac{m_2 - m_1}{m_1 m_2} \] ### Step 4: Calculate \(m_1 - m_2\) and \(m_1 m_2\) From the quadratic equation: - The sum of the roots \(m_1 + m_2 = -(\sqrt{3} + 2)\) - The product of the roots \(m_1 m_2 = \sqrt{3} - 1\) ### Step 5: Substitute values into the area formula Substituting \(m_1 - m_2\) and \(m_1 m_2\) into the area formula: \[ A = \frac{c^2}{2} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt{3} - 1} \] Rationalizing the denominator: \[ A = \frac{c^2}{2} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{11}(\sqrt{3} + 1)}{(\sqrt{3} - 1)(\sqrt{3} + 1)} = \frac{c^2 \sqrt{11}(\sqrt{3} + 1)}{2(3 - 1)} = \frac{c^2 \sqrt{11}(\sqrt{3} + 1)}{4} \] ### Final Answer The area of the triangle is: \[ A = \frac{c^2 \sqrt{11}(\sqrt{3} + 1)}{4} \]
