The range of values of `alpha` for which the line `2y=gx+alpha` is a normal to the circle `x^2=y^2+2gx+2gy-2=0` for all values of `g` is

A

`[1,oo)`

B

`[-1,oo)`

C

`(0,1)`

D

`(- oo,1]`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
2

The line `2y=g x +alpha` should pass through `(-g, -g)` . So, `-2g = -g^(2)+alpha` or `alpha= g^(2)-2g = (g-1)^(2) - ge -1`
