Solution

We have,x2+xy3xy+2=0 ...(i)Let the origin be shifted to (h,k).Then x=X+h and y=Y+ksubstituting x=X+h,y=Y+kIn the equation (i),we get(X+h)2+(X+h)(Y+k)3(X+h)(Y+k)+2=0X2+h2+2Xh+XY+Xk+Yh+hk3X3hYk+2=0X2+XY+2Xh+XK+Yh2XY+h2+hk3hk+2=0X2+(2h+k3)X+XY+9h1Y+(h2+hk3hk+2)=0For this equation to be free from first degree and the constant term,we must have,2h+k3=0 ...(ii)h1=0h+1 ...(iii)andh2+hk3hh+2=0 ...(iv)Putting h=1 in equation (ii),we get 2+k3=0k=1Putting h=1 and k=1 in equation (iv),we get(1)2+131+2=0Hence,the value of h and k satisties the equation(iv)The origin is shifted at the point (1,1)
