The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the relationship between the real numbers \( a \) and \( b \) given that the triangle formed by the points \( A(a, 1) \), \( B(1, b) \), and \( C(0, 0) \) has a right angle at point \( C \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Points**: - The points of the triangle are \( A(a, 1) \), \( B(1, b) \), and \( C(0, 0) \). 2. **Find the Slopes**: - The slope of line segment \( AC \) is calculated as: \[ \text{slope of } AC = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{1 - 0}{a - 0} = \frac{1}{a} \] - The slope of line segment \( BC \) is calculated as: \[ \text{slope of } BC = \frac{b - 0}{1 - 0} = b \] 3. **Use the Right Angle Condition**: - Since \( \angle C \) is \( 90^\circ \), the product of the slopes of lines \( AC \) and \( BC \) must be equal to \(-1\): \[ \text{slope of } AC \cdot \text{slope of } BC = -1 \] Substituting the slopes we found: \[ \frac{1}{a} \cdot b = -1 \] 4. **Set Up the Equation**: - Rearranging the equation gives: \[ b = -a \] 5. **Consider the Constraints**: - Since \( a \) and \( b \) are both real numbers between 0 and 1, the equation \( b = -a \) implies that both \( a \) and \( b \) cannot simultaneously satisfy this equation within the given range. Therefore, we conclude that there is no valid solution for \( a \) and \( b \) under the constraints provided. ### Conclusion: The relationship derived from the right angle condition leads to an inconsistency with the constraints that \( a \) and \( b \) must be between 0 and 1. Thus, no valid values for \( a \) and \( b \) exist under the given conditions.
