The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given equations and derive the required representation step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Given Lines The lines \( L_1 = 0 \), \( L_2 = 0 \), and \( L_3 = 0 \) represent three lines in the plane. The intersection of these lines forms a triangle, and the circumcircle of this triangle can be expressed in terms of these lines. **Hint:** Identify what the lines represent geometrically and how they interact. ### Step 2: Write the Equation of the Circumcircle The circumcircle of the triangle formed by these lines can be expressed as: \[ L_1 L_2 + \lambda L_2 L_3 + \mu L_3 L_1 = 0 \] where \( \lambda \) and \( \mu \) are coefficients that need to satisfy certain conditions. **Hint:** Recognize that the circumcircle equation is a quadratic in terms of \( x \) and \( y \). ### Step 3: Coefficient Conditions The problem states that the coefficient of \( x^2 \) must equal the coefficient of \( y^2 \), and the coefficient of \( xy \) must be zero. This gives us two conditions to satisfy: 1. Coefficient of \( x^2 = \) Coefficient of \( y^2 \) 2. Coefficient of \( xy = 0 \) **Hint:** Set up equations based on the coefficients of the terms in the circumcircle equation. ### Step 4: Analyze the Given Expression The expression \( L_1 L_2^2 + \lambda L_2 L_3^2 + \mu L_1^2 = 0 \) needs to be analyzed to determine the type of curve it represents. **Hint:** Substitute the lines into the expression and simplify. ### Step 5: Substitute Points Let’s take a point \( (h, k) \) that satisfies \( L_1(h, k) = 0 \), \( L_2(h, k) = 0 \), and \( L_3(h, k) = 0 \). Substitute this point into the equation: \[ L_1(h, k) L_2(h, k)^2 + \lambda L_2(h, k) L_3(h, k)^2 + \mu L_1(h, k)^2 = 0 \] Since each \( L_i(h, k) = 0 \), the entire expression equals zero. **Hint:** Understand that substituting the point will help in confirming the nature of the curve. ### Step 6: Conclusion The expression \( L_1 L_2^2 + \lambda L_2 L_3^2 + \mu L_1^2 = 0 \) represents a curve that passes through the points of intersection of the lines \( L_1 = 0 \), \( L_2 = 0 \), and \( L_3 = 0 \). This indicates that the curve is defined by the relationships between these lines. **Final Answer:** The expression represents a curve passing through the point of intersection of the lines \( L_1 = 0 \), \( L_2 = 0 \), and \( L_3 = 0 \).
