Hyperbola in conic sections
Question

Each of the four inequalities given below defines a region in the xy plane. One of these four regions does not have 

the following property. For any two points x1,y1 and x2,y2 in the region, the point x1+x2/2,y1+y2/2 is 

 also in the region. The inequality defining this region is 

Moderate
Solution

x2+2y21 represents the interior region of a ellipse, where on taking any two points,

the midpoint of that segment will also lie inside that circle.

Max{|x|,|y|}1 or |x|1,|y|1 or 1x1 and 1y1

which represents the interior region of a square with its sides x=±1 and y =±1, in which for any two points, 

their midpoint also lies inside the region.

x2y21, represents the exterior region of a hyperbola in 

 which we take two points (4,3) and (4,3) . Then their mid-  point (4,0) does not lie in the same region (as shown in the figure)

y2x represents the interior region of a parabola in which for 

 any two points, their midpoint also lies inside the region.
