Prove that the angle between the straight lines joining the origin to the intersection of the straight line y=3x+2 with the curve x2+2xy+3y2+4x+8y11=0 is tan1223

Solution

x2+2xy+3y2+4x+8y11=0y=3x+2

The equation of pair straight line joining the origin is find by method of homogenisation. We make the coefficient of constant term of straight line 1 and put it the equation of the curve so that degree of each term of the curve become 2

y3x2=1...(i)x2+2xy+3y2+4x(1)+8y(1)11(1)2=0x2+2xy+3y2+4x(y3x2)+8y(y3x2)11(y3x2)2=0x2+2xy+3y2+2xy6x2+4y212xy11y2499x24+33xy2=0119x2+17y2+34xy=07x2y22xy=0

is the desired equation of straight lines.

Angle between pair of straight lines that is tanθ=∣ ∣2h2aba+b∣ ∣

tanθ=21+771=223θ=tan1(223)

Hence proved.
