Solution

(i) Let the origin be shifted to (h, k).Then, x = X + h and y = Y + kSubstituting x = X + h, y = Y + k in the equation, y2+x24x8y+3=0,we get (Y+k)2+(X+h)24(X+h)8(Y+k)+3=0 Y2+k2+2Yk+X2+h2+2Xh4X4h8Y8k+3=0 Y2+X2+2Yk8Y+2Xh4X+k2+h24h8k+3=0 Y2+X2+(2k8)Y+(2h4)X+(k2+h24h8k+3)=0For this equation to be free from the term of first degree, we must have 2k - 8 = 0 and 2h - 4 = 0 k=4 and h=2Hence, the origin is shifted at the point (2, 4.)(ii) x2+y25x+2y5=0Let the origin be shifted to (h, k). Then, x = X + h and y = Y + kSubstituting x = X + h, y = Y + k in the equation,x2+y25x+2y5=0,we get (X+h)2+(Y+k)25(X+h)+2(Y+k)5=0 X2+h2+2Xh+Y2+k2+2Yk5X5h+2Y+2k5=0 X2+Y2+2Yk+2Y+2Xh5X+h2+k25h+2k5=0 X2+Y2+(2k+2)Y+(2h5)X+h2+k25h+2k5=0For this equation to be free from the term of first degree, we must have 2k + 2 = 0 and 2h - 5 = 0 k=1 and h=52Hence, the origin is shifted at the point (52,1).(iii) x212x+4=0Let the origin be shifted to (h, k). Then, x = X + h and y = Y + kSubstituting x = X + h, y = Y + kin the equation, x2+12x+4=0, we get(X+h)212(X+h)+4=0 X2+h2+2Xh12X12h+4=0 X2+(2h12)X+h212h+4=0For this equation to be free from the term of first degree, we must have 2h - 12 = 0 h=122 h=6Hence, the origin is shifted at the point (6, k)KR.
