Question

A parallelogram is formed by the lines ax2+2hxy+by2=0 and the lines through (p,q) parallel to them and the equation of the diagonal of the parallelogram which doesn't pass through origin is (λxp)(ap+hq)+(μyq)(hp+bq)=0, then find the value of λ3+μ3.

Solution

The combined equation of AB and AD is
S1=ax2+2hxy+by2=0
Now equation of lines passing through (p,q) and parallel to S1 is
S2=a(xp)2+2h(xp)(yq)+b(yq)2=0
Hence, the equation of diagonal BD is S1S2=0
a(2xp+p2)+2h(pyqx+pq)+b(2qy+q2)=0
=ap(2xp)hq(2xp)hp(2yq)bq(2yq)=0(2hpq is written as hpq+hpq)
Hence, diagonal of BD is
(2xp)(ap+hq)+(2yq)(hp+bq)=0
So, λ=2,μ=2
Therefore, λ3+μ3=23+23=8+8=16
