Prove that 4p ^ 2 + q ^ 2 = a ^ 2 for the given equation x * \cos \alpha - y * \sin \alpha = a * \cos 2\alpha

The length p is the distance from the origin to the line, and q is the distance from the origin to the line. Using the given equation, we can derive the values of p and q, and then substitute them into the equation 4p ^ 2 + q ^ 2 = a ^ 2 to prove the relationship.

For the equation a * x ^ 2 + 2hxy + b * y ^ 2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 representing two parallel lines, prove that (i) h ^ 2 = ab (ii) a * f ^ 2 (iii) the distance between the parallel lines is 2\sqrt{\frac{g ^ 2 - ac},{a(a + b)}} or 2\sqrt{\frac{r ^ 2 - bc},{b(a + b)}}

(i) To prove h ^ 2 = ab, we can use the condition for the lines to be parallel and express h in terms of a, b, and h. (ii) To prove a * f ^ 2, we can use the equation and express f in terms of a, b, g, and c. (iii) The distance between the parallel lines can be found using the formula 2\sqrt{\frac{g ^ 2 - ac},{a(a + b)}} or 2\sqrt{\frac{r ^ 2 - bc},{b(a + b)}}.

Show that the lines joining the origin to the points of intersection of the curve x ^ 2 - xy + y ^ 2 + 3x + 3y - 2 = 0 and the straight line x - y - \sqrt{2} = 0 are mutually perpendicular.

We can find the points of intersection of the curve and the straight line, then calculate the slopes of the lines joining the origin to these points. If the product of the slopes is -1, we can conclude that the lines are mutually perpendicular.

Find the angle between two non-parallel lines whose direction cosines satisfy the equations 6mn - 2nl + 5 / m = 0.

By using the direction cosines, we can find the slopes of the lines and use the formula to find the angle between the lines: \cos \theta = \frac{6mn - 2nl + 5},{\sqrt{(36m^2 + 4n^2 + 25)(36n^2 + 4l^2 + 25)}}.

If y = \tan(4x-4x^2+1-6x^2+x), show that \rac{d},{dx} (y) = \rac{1},{1 + x ^ 2}

By taking the derivative of y with respect to x, we can use the chain rule and simplify to show that \rac{d},{dx} (y) = \rac{1},{1 + x ^ 2}.

Study Notes

Proofs and Derivations

  • The equation x * cos(α) - y * sin(α) = a * cos(2α) can be proved to be equal to 4p^2 + q^2 = a^2.

Properties of Parallel Lines

  • For the equation ax^2 + 2hxy + by^2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0, representing two parallel lines:
    • h^2 = ab
    • a*f^2
    • Distance between the parallel lines is 2√((g^2 - ac) / (a(a + b))) or 2√((r^2 - bc) / (b(a + b))).

Mutual Perpendicularity of Lines

  • The lines joining the origin to the points of intersection of the curve x^2 - xy + y^2 + 3x + 3y - 2 = 0 and the straight line x - y - √2 = 0 are mutually perpendicular.

Angle between Non-Parallel Lines

  • The angle between two non-parallel lines whose direction cosines satisfy the equations 6mn - 2nl + 5 / m = 0 can be found.

Trigonometric Derivatives

  • For y = tan(4x - 4x^2 + 1 - 6x^2 + x), the derivative dy/dx = 1 / (1 + x^2).
