Question:

Let the equation of two diameters of a circle x2 + y2 – 2x + 2fy + 1 = 0 be 2px – y = 1 and 2x + py = 4p. Then the slope m ∈ (0, ∞) of the tangent to the hyperbola 3x2 – y2 = 3 passing through the center of the circle is equal to _______.

Correct Answer: 2

Solution and Explanation

2p + f – 1 = 0 ........ (1)
2 – pf–4p = 0 ........ (2)
2 = p(f + 4)
p=\(\frac{2}{f+4}\)
2p = 1 – f
\(\frac{f}{f+4}\)=1−f
f2 + 3f = 0
f = 0 or –3
Hyperbola \(3x^2−y^2\)=3,\(\frac{x^2−y^2}{3}\)=1
y=mx±\(\sqrt{m^2-3}\)
It passes (1, 0) o=m±\(\sqrt{m^2-3}\) ,m tends ∞
It passes (1, 3)
3=m±\(\sqrt{m^2-3}\) (3−m)2=m2−3
m = 2

Coordinates of a Point in Space

Three-dimensional space is also named 3-space or tri-dimensional space.

It is a geometric setting that carries three values needed to set the position of an element. In Mathematics and Physics, a sequence of ‘n’ numbers can be acknowledged as a location in ‘n-dimensional space’. When n = 3 it is named a three-dimensional Euclidean space.

The Distance Formula Between the Two Points in Three Dimension is as follows;

The distance between two points P1 and P2 are (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) respectively in the XY-plane is expressed by the distance formula,
