Question

 If the vertex of the conic represented by 25x2+y2=(3x4y+12)2 is (a,b) then the value of (b+a) is 

Moderate
Solution

25x2+y2=(3x4y+12)2x2+y2=3x4y+125

which is equation of the parabola having focus at A(0, 0) and directrix

L3x4y+12=0-----(i)

 Now equation of axis of the parabola is y=43x

 or 4x+3y=0----(ii)

 Solving (i) and (ii), we get point B(36/25,48/25)

 Now vertex is the mid point of AB , which is (18/25,24/25) .
