Question

Length of the chord intercepted by the parabola y = x2 + 3x  on the line x + y = 5 is

  1. 6square root of 2    
  2. square root of 2    
  3. 6square root of 3    
  4. None of these    

hintHint:

find the points of intersection of the chord with the parabola

The correct answer is: 6square root of 2


    6√2


    Point of intersection  :
    y = x2 + 3x and  x + y = 5
    x= 5-y
    y=  (5-y)2+3(5-y)
    x2+5x-x-5 = 0
    x(x+5)-1(x+5)
    x=1,-5
    y=4,10
    (1,4) and  (-5,10)
    Length of chord = distance between the points of intersection.
    = √(10-4)2+(-5-1)2 = 6√2

    the distance between any two points is given by
    √(x2-x1)2+(y2-y1)
    this formula is applied to the points of intersection which were calculated by solving the two equations .
