Detailed Solution

Consider the chord as y=mx+c intersects the curve 3x2y22x+4y=0 at A and B.

AOB=π2

Homogenize the curve with the chord to get pair of lines OA and OB

3x2y22x(1)+4y(1)=0

3x2y22x(ymxc)+4y(ymxc)=0x2(3+2mc)+y2(1+4c)+xy(2c4mc)=0AOB=π/2

coefficient of x2 + coefficient of y2=0

3+2mc+(1+4c)=02+2mc+4c=0c+m+2=0

y=mx+cmxy+c=0

The chords pass through P (1,-2)

A) x2+y22x+4y4=0

Q, R lies on circle
P is centre of circle
PQ + PR = r + r = 2r = 2 (3) = 6
B) Maximum area of Δle PQR=(12)(3)(3)sinθ=92sinθ92@θ=π2

C) x2+y2=5

Question Image

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

P(1,2) lies on the circle

PQ+PR(0,45)

D) Maximum area of Δle PQR = equilateral triangle PQR

=(34)(3r)2=(34)(3r2)=(3)(5)34=1534 sq. units
