The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the combined equation of the three lines given by \( y^3 - 4x^2y = 0 \) and determine the type of triangle they form. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Factor the Combined Equation**: The first step is to factor the given equation \( y^3 - 4x^2y = 0 \). \[ y(y^2 - 4x^2) = 0 \] This gives us two parts: \( y = 0 \) and \( y^2 - 4x^2 = 0 \). 2. **Solve for the Lines**: From the factored form, we can derive the lines: - From \( y = 0 \), we have the first line: \( L_1: y = 0 \). - From \( y^2 - 4x^2 = 0 \), we can rewrite it as \( (y - 2x)(y + 2x) = 0 \), leading to: - Second line: \( L_2: y = 2x \) - Third line: \( L_3: y = -2x \) 3. **Identify the Lines**: We have identified the three lines: - \( L_1: y = 0 \) (the x-axis) - \( L_2: y = 2x \) (a line with a positive slope) - \( L_3: y = -2x \) (a line with a negative slope) 4. **Graph the Lines**: All three lines intersect at the origin (0,0). The lines \( y = 2x \) and \( y = -2x \) are symmetric about the x-axis and will form angles with the x-axis. 5. **Determine the Type of Triangle**: Since all three lines pass through the origin and do not enclose any area, they do not form a triangle. Instead, they intersect at a single point (the origin) and extend infinitely in both directions. 6. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the three lines do not form any triangle structure. The answer is that they do not form any type of triangle.
