\(\sqrt{\frac{5}{2}}\)

d

\(2\sqrt{5}\)

✓ Correct answer: c)

\(\sqrt{\frac{5}{2}}\)

Explanation

For \(y=x^2\), slope \(=2x\).

\(2x=4\Rightarrow x=2\), so \(P=(2,4)\).

For \(x^2+y^2=2\), slope \(=-\dfrac{x}{y}\).

\(-\dfrac{x}{y}=-1\Rightarrow x=y\).

Since \(x^2+y^2=2\), we get \(2x^2=2\Rightarrow x=1\), so \(Q=(1,1)\).

For \(x^2+4y^2=8\), slope \(=-\dfrac{x}{4y}\).

\(-\dfrac{x}{4y}=-\dfrac12\Rightarrow x=2y\).

\((2y)^2+4y^2=8\Rightarrow 8y^2=8\Rightarrow y=1\), so \(R=(2,1)\).

Let centre of circle be \(C(h,k)\).

Since \(P=(2,4)\) and \(R=(2,1)\), perpendicular bisector of \(PR\) is \(y=\dfrac52\).

So centre is \(C(h,\dfrac52)\).

Using \(CQ=CR\):

\((h-1)^2+\left(\dfrac52-1\right)^2=(h-2)^2+\left(\dfrac52-1\right)^2\)

\((h-1)^2=(h-2)^2\Rightarrow h=\dfrac32\)

Radius \(=CR=\sqrt{\left(\dfrac32-2\right)^2+\left(\dfrac52-1\right)^2}\)

\(r=\sqrt{\dfrac14+\dfrac94}=\sqrt{\dfrac{10}{4}}=\sqrt{\dfrac52}\)

Explanation

\(\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1\)

It passes through \((6, 4\sqrt{3})\).

\(\Rightarrow \frac{36}{a^2}-\frac{48}{b^2}=1\)\(\ldots(1)\)

Also, \(15 \mathrm{e}^2-34 \mathrm{e}+15=0\)

\(\Rightarrow 15 \mathrm{e}^2-25 \mathrm{e}-9 \mathrm{e}+15=0\)

\(\mathrm{e}=\frac{5}{3}\) or \(\frac{3}{5} \Rightarrow \mathrm{e}=\frac{5}{3}\)

\(\Rightarrow \mathrm{e}^{2}=\frac{25}{9}\)

\(1+\frac{b^2}{a^2}=\frac{25}{9} \Rightarrow \frac{b^2}{a^2}=\frac{16}{9}\) \(\ldots(2)\)

Using (1) and (2):

\(\Rightarrow \frac{36}{a^2}-\frac{48}{16 a^2} \times 9=1 \Rightarrow a=3, b=4\)

Now, the length of the latus rectum of the hyperbola \(\frac{x^2}{b^2}-\frac{y^2}{2\left(a^2+1\right)}=1\) is:

Explanation

Parametric point \(P\) on \(x^2=4 y\) is \(P\left(2 t, t^2\right)\)

∴ mirror image of \(P\) in \(x-y=1\) is

\(Q\equiv \left(2t−\frac{2⋅1⋅\left(2t−{t}^{2}−1\right)}{2},{t}^{2}+\frac{2⋅1⋅\left(2t−{t}^{2}−1\right)}{2}\right)\)

\(Q\equiv \left({t}^{2}+1,2t−1\right)\equiv (h,k)\)

So, \(h=t^2+1, k=2t-1\)

\(\Rightarrow t=\frac{k+1}{2}\)

\(\Rightarrow h= \frac{(k+1)^2}{4} +1\)

∴ locus of \(Q\) is \(x=\frac{{(y+1)}^{2}}{4}+1\) which is the required parabola.
