If A and B be the points `(3,4,5) and (-1,3,-7)` respectively, find the locus of P such that `PA ^(2) + PB ^(2) = k ^(2).`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
N/a
Let the coordinates of moving point P be (x,y,z).
Given, `A-=(3,4,5),B(-1,3,-7)`
According to the problem, `PA^(2)+PB^(2)=k^(2)`
`implies (x-3)^(2)+(y-4)^(2)+(z-5)^(2)+(x+1)^(2)+(y-3)^(2)+(z+7)^(2)=k^(2)`
`implies x^(2)-5x+9+y^(2)+8y+16+z^(2)-10z+25+x^(2)+2x+1+y^(2)-6y+9+z^(2)+14z+49=k^(2)`
`implies 2x^(2)+2y^(2)+2z^(2)-4x-14y+4z=k^(2)-109`
`implies x^(2)+y^(2)+^(2)-2x-7y+2z=(k^(2)-109)/(2)`
Which is the required equation.
