Question

If x=4λ1+λ2 and y=22λ21+λ2, where λ is a real parameter such that x2xy+y2 lies in the interval [a,b], then the minimum value of p for which 3cosϕ=p2(a+b)p+19 holds true is .

Solution

Let λ=tanθ
So, x=4tanθ1+tan2θ=2sin2θ
Similarly y=2(1tan2θ1+tan2θ)=2cos2θ

Now, we can write
x2xy+y2
=4sin22θ4sin2θcos2θ+4cos22θ
=42(2cos2θsin2θ)
=42sin4θ

We know
1sin4θ1242sin4θ6
Thus, comparing with [a,b], we get
a=2 and b=6
a+b=8
Now, we have the other equation as:
3cosϕ=p2(a+b)p+19
3cosϕ=p28p+19
3cosϕ=(p4)2+3
We know that
3cosϕ3
So, (p4)2=0
p=4
