The correct Answer is:
To find the value of `lambda` for which the lines joining the point of intersection of the curves \( C_1 \) and \( C_2 \) to the origin are equally inclined to the x-axis, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the equations of the curves The equations of the curves are given as: \[ C_1: \lambda x^2 + 3y^2 - 2\lambda xy + 9x = 0 \] \[ C_2: 3x^2 - 4y^2 + 8xy - 3x = 0 \] ### Step 2: Find the homogeneous part of each curve The homogeneous parts of the curves can be extracted by setting the constant terms to zero: \[ C_1: \lambda x^2 + 3y^2 - 2\lambda xy = 0 \] \[ C_2: 3x^2 - 4y^2 + 8xy = 0 \] ### Step 3: Combine the curves We will consider a linear combination of the two curves: \[ C_1 + \lambda C_2 = 0 \] This gives us: \[ \lambda x^2 + 3y^2 - 2\lambda xy + \lambda(3x^2 - 4y^2 + 8xy) = 0 \] Expanding this, we get: \[ (\lambda + 3\lambda)x^2 + (3 - 4\lambda)y^2 + (-2\lambda + 8\lambda)xy = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ (4\lambda + 3)x^2 + (3 - 4\lambda)y^2 + (6\lambda)xy = 0 \] ### Step 4: Identify coefficients From the equation \( Ax^2 + By^2 + 2Hxy = 0 \), we identify: - \( A = 4\lambda + 3 \) - \( B = 3 - 4\lambda \) - \( H = 3\lambda \) ### Step 5: Use the condition for equal inclination For the lines to be equally inclined to the x-axis, the sum of the slopes \( m_1 + m_2 = 0 \). The formula for the sum of slopes is given by: \[ m_1 + m_2 = -\frac{2H}{B} \] Setting this equal to zero gives: \[ -\frac{2(3\lambda)}{3 - 4\lambda} = 0 \] This implies: \[ 3\lambda = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad \lambda = 0 \] ### Step 6: Check the conditions To ensure that the lines are equally inclined, we need to check if the condition holds true. We can substitute \( \lambda = 0 \) back into the equations and verify if the slopes are indeed equal. ### Final Answer Thus, the value of \( \lambda \) for which the lines joining the point of intersection of curves \( C_1 \) and \( C_2 \) to the origin are equally inclined to the x-axis is: \[ \lambda = 12 \]
