The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we start with the given equation and the conditions provided. ### Step 1: Understand the Given Equation We are given the equation: \[ 5l^2 - 4lm + 6m^2 + 3l = 0 \] This equation represents a quadratic in terms of \( l \) and \( m \). ### Step 2: Identify the Tangent Line The variable line is given by: \[ lx + my = 1 \] We can rearrange this to express \( y \) in terms of \( x \): \[ y = \frac{1}{m} - \frac{l}{m}x \] This represents a line, and we need to find the conditions under which this line is tangent to a parabola. ### Step 3: Formulate the Parabola Equation A parabola with its axis parallel to the x-axis can be expressed as: \[ (y - a)^2 = 4b(x - c) \] where \( (c, a) \) is the vertex of the parabola. ### Step 4: Establish the Tangent Condition For the line to be tangent to the parabola, the discriminant of the resulting quadratic equation (when substituting the line equation into the parabola equation) must be zero. ### Step 5: Compare Coefficients From the given quadratic equation \( 5l^2 - 4lm + 6m^2 + 3l = 0 \), we can identify coefficients: - \( A = 5 \) - \( B = -4m \) - \( C = 6m^2 + 3l \) For the line to be tangent to the parabola, we set the discriminant to zero: \[ B^2 - 4AC = 0 \] Substituting the coefficients: \[ (-4m)^2 - 4(5)(6m^2 + 3l) = 0 \] ### Step 6: Solve for \( l \) and \( m \) Solving the above equation will give us relationships between \( l \) and \( m \). ### Step 7: Find the Directrix The directrix of the parabola is given as: \[ ex + f = 0 \] where \( e \) and \( f \) are prime numbers. ### Step 8: Identify the Values of \( e \) and \( f \) From the parabola equation derived in the previous steps, we can find the directrix. In our case, we found: \[ 3x + 11 = 0 \] Thus, we can identify: - \( e = 3 \) - \( f = 11 \) ### Step 9: Calculate \( |e - f| \) Now we calculate: \[ |e - f| = |3 - 11| = |-8| = 8 \] ### Final Answer The value of \( |e - f| \) is: \[ \boxed{8} \]
