Question

The equation of the tangents drawn at the ends of the major axis of the ellipse 9x2 + 5y2 – 30y = 0 is

  1. y = ± 3    
  2. x = ± square root of 5    
  3. y = 0, y = 6    
  4. none of these    

hintHint:

Convert the given equation in standard form i.e.
x squared over a squared space plus space y squared over b squared space equals space 1

The correct answer is: y = 0, y = 6


     Given : 9 x squared space plus space 5 y squared space – space 30 y space equals space 0 space
    Adding and subtracting the above by 45
    9 x squared space plus space 5 y squared space – space 30 y space plus space 45 space minus 45 space equals space 0 space
9 x squared space plus space 5 left parenthesis y squared space – space 6 y space plus space 9 right parenthesis space equals space 45
9 x squared space plus space 5 left parenthesis y space – space 3 right parenthesis squared space equals space 45 D i v i d i n g space b y space 45 space o n space b o t h space s i d e s comma space w e space g e t
x squared over 5 space plus space open parentheses y minus 3 close parentheses squared over 9 space equals space 1
    Center coordinates = (0,3)
    At x = 0
    open parentheses y minus 3 close parentheses squared space equals space 9
    On solving we get :
    rightwards double arrow space y space equals space 0 comma 6
    T h e r e f o r e comma space tan g e n t s space a t space v e r t e x space a r e space y equals 0 comma y equals 6.

    The sum of all possible numbers greater than 10,000 formed by using {1,3,5,7,9} is

    Here, some students randomly select the numbers and try to add them which is very lengthy as there are 120 numbers and can lead to mistakes. Also, some students do not consider the place value but in questions such as addition, subtraction, etc. of numbers, place value method is most promising.

    In this question, one might think that the total number of permutations for the word BANANA is 6!
    This is wrong because in the word BANANA we have the letter A repeated thrice and the letter N repeated twice.

    The number of ways in which 17 billiard balls be arranged in a row if 7 of them are black, 6 are red, 4 are white is

    We cannot arrange the billiards balls as follows:
    There are 17 balls, so the total number of arrangements = 17!
    This is incorrect because this method is applicable only when the balls are distinct, not identical. But, in our case, all the balls of the same color are identical.

    Thus we can say that the permutation concerns both the selection and the arrangement of the selected things in all possible ways.
