Question

If the equation a x to the power of 2 end exponent minus 6 x y plus y to the power of 2 end exponent plus b x plus c x plus d equals 0 represents a pair of lines whose slopes are m and m squared, then value(s) of a is/are -

  1. a = –8    
  2. a = 8 or - 27    
  3. a = 27    
  4. a = –1    

hintHint:

Take y space equals space m x space a n d space y space equals space m squared x space a s space e q u a t i o n space o f space l i n e s space a n d space m u l t i p l y space t h e m space a n d space s i m p l i f y.

The correct answer is: a = 8 or - 27


    Given equation ; a x squared minus 6 x y plus y squared plus b x plus c x plus d equals 0
    L e t space y space equals space m x space

a n d space y space equals space m squared x space b e space t h e space l i n e

W e space c a n space w r i t e space i t space a s

left parenthesis y space minus space m x right parenthesis left parenthesis space y space minus space m squared x right parenthesis space equals space 0

O n space s i m p l i f y i n g

rightwards double arrow y squared space minus space m squared x y space minus space m x y space plus space m cubed x squared space equals space 0

rightwards double arrow m cubed x squared space minus left parenthesis m squared space plus space m right parenthesis x y space space plus space y squared space equals space 0

C o m p a r i n g space i t space w i t h space e q u a t i o n space a x squared minus 6 x y plus y squared plus b x plus c x plus d equals 0

a space equals space m cubed space comma space space m squared space plus space m space equals space space 6 space a n d space b comma c space comma d space equals space 0

F r o m space a b o v e

rightwards double arrow m squared space plus space m space equals space space 6 space
C u b i n g space b o t h space s i d e s

rightwards double arrow left parenthesis m squared space plus space m right parenthesis cubed space equals space space 6 to the power of 3 end exponent space

rightwards double arrow m to the power of 6 space plus space m cubed space plus space 3 m cubed left parenthesis m space plus space m squared right parenthesis space equals space 216

rightwards double arrow a squared space plus space a space plus space 3 a left parenthesis 6 right parenthesis space equals space 216 space......... space left parenthesis space sin c e space m space plus space m squared space equals space 6 space a n d space a space equals space m cubed right parenthesis

rightwards double arrow a squared space plus space 19 a space minus space 216 space space equals space 0

O n space F a c t o r i z i n g

rightwards double arrow a squared space plus space 27 a space minus space 8 a space minus space 216 space equals space 0

rightwards double arrow a space equals space 8 space o r space minus 27
