The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the angle between the lines represented by the equation \( ay^2 - (1 + \lambda^2)xy - ax^2 = 0 \) and compare it with the angles between the lines represented by the given options. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the coefficients**: The given equation is \( ay^2 - (1 + \lambda^2)xy - ax^2 = 0 \). We can compare this with the general form of the conic section \( Ax^2 + 2Hxy + By^2 = 0 \). - Here, \( A = -a \), \( 2H = -(1 + \lambda^2) \) which gives \( H = -\frac{1 + \lambda^2}{2} \), and \( B = a \). 2. **Use the formula for the angle between two lines**: The formula for the tangent of the angle \( \theta \) between two lines is given by: \[ \tan \theta = \frac{2\sqrt{H^2 - AB}}{A + B} \] Substituting the values we found: - \( A = -a \) - \( B = a \) - \( H = -\frac{1 + \lambda^2}{2} \) 3. **Calculate \( H^2 - AB \)**: \[ H^2 = \left(-\frac{1 + \lambda^2}{2}\right)^2 = \frac{(1 + \lambda^2)^2}{4} \] \[ AB = (-a)(a) = -a^2 \] Therefore, \[ H^2 - AB = \frac{(1 + \lambda^2)^2}{4} + a^2 \] 4. **Calculate \( A + B \)**: \[ A + B = -a + a = 0 \] Since \( A + B = 0 \), the angle \( \theta \) is such that \( \tan \theta \) is undefined, which means \( \theta = \frac{\pi}{2} \) or \( 90^\circ \). Thus, the lines are perpendicular. 5. **Check the options**: We need to find which of the given options also represents lines that are perpendicular. - **Option A**: \( 5x^2 + 2xy - 3y^2 = 0 \) - Here, \( A = 5 \), \( B = -3 \) → \( A + B = 5 - 3 = 2 \) (not perpendicular) - **Option B**: \( x^2 - 2xy - 3y^2 = 0 \) - Here, \( A = 1 \), \( B = -3 \) → \( A + B = 1 - 3 = -2 \) (not perpendicular) - **Option C**: \( x^2 - y^2 = 100 \) - Here, \( A = 1 \), \( B = -1 \) → \( A + B = 1 - 1 = 0 \) (perpendicular) - **Option D**: \( xy = 0 \) - This represents the lines \( x = 0 \) and \( y = 0 \). Thus, \( A = 0 \), \( B = 0 \) → \( A + B = 0 \) (perpendicular) 6. **Conclusion**: The lines represented by options C and D are perpendicular, just like the lines represented by the original equation. ### Final Answer: The correct options are: - Option C: \( x^2 - y^2 = 100 \) - Option D: \( xy = 0 \)
