The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the reasoning provided in the video transcript while ensuring clarity and completeness in each step. ### Step 1: Identify the equations of the lines The given lines are: 1. \( y - \sqrt{3}|x| = 2 \) for \( x < 0 \) 2. \( y - \sqrt{3}x = 2 \) for \( x \geq 0 \) ### Step 2: Find the point of intersection To find the point of intersection, we set the two equations equal to each other. For \( x = 0 \): - From the first line: \( y - \sqrt{3} \cdot 0 = 2 \) → \( y = 2 \) - From the second line: \( y - \sqrt{3} \cdot 0 = 2 \) → \( y = 2 \) Thus, the point of intersection is \( (0, 2) \). ### Step 3: Determine the distance from point P to the intersection point Let \( P(x_1, y_1) \) be a point on either line at a distance of 5 units from the intersection point \( (0, 2) \). Using the distance formula: \[ \sqrt{(x_1 - 0)^2 + (y_1 - 2)^2} = 5 \] Squaring both sides gives: \[ (x_1)^2 + (y_1 - 2)^2 = 25 \] ### Step 4: Substitute for \( y_1 \) Since \( P \) lies on either of the lines, we can express \( y_1 \) in terms of \( x_1 \): - For \( x_1 < 0 \): \( y_1 = 2 + \sqrt{3}|x_1| = 2 - \sqrt{3}x_1 \) - For \( x_1 \geq 0 \): \( y_1 = 2 + \sqrt{3}x_1 \) Substituting \( y_1 \) into the distance equation: 1. For \( x_1 < 0 \): \[ (x_1)^2 + (2 - \sqrt{3}x_1 - 2)^2 = 25 \] Simplifying gives: \[ (x_1)^2 + (\sqrt{3}x_1)^2 = 25 \implies (1 + 3)(x_1)^2 = 25 \implies 4(x_1)^2 = 25 \implies x_1^2 = \frac{25}{4} \implies x_1 = -\frac{5}{2} \] Then, substituting back to find \( y_1 \): \[ y_1 = 2 - \sqrt{3}\left(-\frac{5}{2}\right) = 2 + \frac{5\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{4}{2} + \frac{5\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{4 + 5\sqrt{3}}{2} \] 2. For \( x_1 \geq 0 \): \[ (x_1)^2 + (2 + \sqrt{3}x_1 - 2)^2 = 25 \] This leads to the same calculations, yielding: \[ x_1 = \frac{5}{2} \quad \text{and} \quad y_1 = 2 + \frac{5\sqrt{3}}{2} \] ### Step 5: Find the angle bisector The angle bisector of the two lines can be found by equating the two line equations: \[ y - \sqrt{3}x - 2 = y + \sqrt{3}x - 2 \] This simplifies to \( x = 0 \), confirming that the angle bisector is the y-axis. ### Step 6: Find the foot of the perpendicular from point P to the angle bisector Since the angle bisector is the y-axis (i.e., \( x = 0 \)), the foot of the perpendicular from point \( P(x_1, y_1) \) to the y-axis will simply have the x-coordinate of 0, and the y-coordinate will be the same as that of point \( P \). Thus, the coordinates of the foot of the perpendicular from point \( P \) to the angle bisector are: \[ (0, y_1) = \left(0, \frac{4 + 5\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) \] ### Final Answer The coordinates of the foot of the perpendicular from point \( P \) on the bisector of the angle between the lines are: \[ (0, 4 + \frac{5\sqrt{3}}{2}) \]
