If the point `(x_1+t(x_2-x_1),y_1+t(y_2-y_1))` divides the join of `(x_1,y_1)` and `(x_2, y_2)` internally, then `t<0` (b) `01` (d) `t=1`

A

`t lt 0`

B

`0 lt t lt 1`

C

`t gt 1`

D

`t=1`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`(x_1+t(x_2-x_1),y_1+t(y_2-y_1)-=(x_1(1-t)+tx_2,y_1(1-t)+(ty_2)` is the point whihc divides the join of `(x_1,y_1)` and `(x_2,y_2)` in the ratio `t:(1-t)`, whihch is positive oif `0lttlt1`.

If the point (x_1+t(x_2-x_1),y_1+t(y_2-y_1)) divides the join of (x_1,y_1) and (x_2, y_2) internally, then t 1 (d) t=1

Each of the four inequalities given below defines a region in the xy plane. One of these four regions does not have the following property. For any two points (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) in the region the point ((x_1+x_2)/2*(y_1+y_2)/2) is also in the region. The inequality defining this region is (1) x^2 + 2y^2 ≤ 1 (2)Max {|x| , | y| ≤ 1 (3) x^2 – y^2 ≤ 1 (4) y^2 – x ≤ 0

If the tangents and normals at the extremities of a focal chord of a parabola intersect at (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2), respectively, then x_1=y^2 (b) x_1=y_1 y_1=y_2 (d) x_2=y_1

Tangent is drawn at any point (x_1, y_1) other than the vertex on the parabola y^2=4a x . If tangents are drawn from any point on this tangent to the circle x^2+y^2=a^2 such that all the chords of contact pass through a fixed point (x_2,y_2), then (a) x_1,a ,x_2 in GP (b) (y_1)/2,a ,y_2 are in GP (c) -4,(y_1)/(y_2), (x_1//x_2) are in GP (d) x_1x_2+y_1y_2=a^2

If the normals to the ellipse x^2/a^2+y^2/b^2= 1 at the points (X_1, y_1), (x_2, y_2) and (x_3, y_3) are concurrent, prove that |(x_1,y_1,x_1y_1),(x_2,y_2,x_2y_2),(x_3,y_3,x_3y_3)|=0 .

Statement 1:If the point (2a-5,a^2) is on the same side of the line x+y-3=0 as that of the origin, then a in (2,4) Statement 2: The points (x_1, y_1)a n d(x_2, y_2) lie on the same or opposite sides of the line a x+b y+c=0, as a x_1+b y_1+c and a x_2+b y_2+c have the same or opposite signs.

If the points (x_1, y_1),(x_2,y_2), and (x_3, y_3) are collinear show that (y_2-y_3)/(x_2x_3)+(y_3-y_1)/(x_3x_1)+(y_1-y_2)/(x_1x_2)=0

If the join of (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) makes on obtuse angle at (x_3,y_3), then prove than (x_3-x_1)(x_3-x_2)+(y_3-y_1)(y_3-y_2)<0

If the tangent at point P(h, k) on the hyperbola (x^(2))/(a^(2))-(y^(2))/(b^(2))=1 cuts the circle x^(2)+y^(2)=a^(2) at points Q(x_(1),y_(1)) and R(x_(2),y_(2)) , then the vlaue of (1)/(y_(1))+(1)/(y_(2)) is

If the chords of contact of tangents from two poinst (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2) to the ellipse (x^2)/(a^2)+(y^2)/(b^2)=1 are at right angles, then find the value of (x_1x_2)/(y_1y_2)dot
