I.

Question 1.
Find the acute angle between the pair of lines represented by the following equations.
(i) x² – 7xy + 12y² = 0
(ii) y² – xy – 6x² = 0
(iii) (x cos α – y sin α)² = (x² + y²) sin² α
(iv) x² + 2xy cot α – y² = 0
Solution:
(i) x² – 7xy + 12y² = 0
a = 1, b = 12, h = –\(\frac{7}{2}\)

(ii) y² – xy – x² = 0
a = -6, b = 1, h = –\(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\cos \theta=\frac{|a+b|}{\sqrt{(a-b)^{2}+4 h^{2}}}\)

(iii) (x cos α – y sin α)² = (x² + y²) sin² α
x2 cos² α + y² sin² a – 2xy cos α sin α = x² sin² α + y² sin² α
∴ x² (cos² α – sin² α) – 2xy cos α sin α = 0
x².cos 2α – xy sin 2α = 0
a = cos 2α, b = 0, 2h = -sin 2α
\(\cos \theta=\frac{\|\cos 2 \alpha+0\|}{\sqrt{(\cos 2 \alpha-0)^{2}+\sin ^{2} 2 \alpha}}\)
= cos 2α
∴ θ = 2α

(iv) x² + 2xy cot a – y² = 0
a + b = 1 – 1 = 0
∴ θ = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)

9(x² – y²) = (4 – 1) xy 9(x² – y²) = 3xy
3(x² – y²) = xy ………….. (2)
(1), (2) are same.
∴ OA, OB and OP, OQ are inclined to each other.

(ii) Combined equation of OA, OB is
a²x² + 2h(a + b) xy + b²y² = 0
Equation of the pair of bisectors is
h (a + b) (x² – y²) = (a² – b²) xy
h (a + b) (x² – y²) = (a + b)(a – b) xy
i.e., h(x² – y²) = (a – b) xy ………… (1)
Combined equation of OP, OQ is
ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0
Equation of the pair of bisectors is
h (x² – y²) = (a – b) xy …………. (2)

Solution:
Combined equation of the lines is
6x² + 2hxy + y² = 0
Suppose individual equations of the given lines are y = m₁x and y = m₂x

Question 3.
If ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0 represents two straight lines such that the slope of one line is twice the slope of the other, prove that 8h² = 9ab.
Solution:
Combined equation of the lines is
ax² + 2hxy + by² =0
Suppose, y = m₁x and y = m₂x are the individual equations of the lines.
∴ m₁ + m₂ = –\(\frac{2h}{b}\), m₁m₂ = \(\frac{a}{b}\)
Given m₂ = 2m₁
∴ 3m₁ = –\(\frac{2h}{b}\) ; 2m₁² = \(\frac{a}{b}\)
m₁ = –\(\frac{2h}{3}\) ; m₁² = \(\frac{a}{2b}\)
∴ (-\(\frac{2h}{3b}\))² = \(\frac{a}{2b}\)
\(\frac{4 h^{2}}{9 b^{2}}=\frac{a}{2 b}\)
8h² = 9ab.

Question 4.
Show that the equation of the pair of straight lines passing through the origin and making an angle of 30° with the line 3x – y – 1 = 0 is 13x² + 12xy – 3y² = 0

Solution:
Equation of AB is 3x – y – 1 = 0
OA, OB make an angle of 30° with AB and pass through the origin.
Suppose slope of OA is m
∴ Equation of OA is
y – 0 = m (x – 0) = mx or mx – y = 0

∴ \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{|3 m+1|}{\sqrt{10} \sqrt{m^{2}+1}}\)
Squaring and cross multiplying
\(\frac{3\left(m^{2}+1\right)}{4}=\frac{(3 m+1)^{2}}{10}\)
15(m² + 1) = 2 (3m + 1)²
15m² + 15 = 2 (9m² + 6m + 1)
= 18m² + 12m + 2
3m² + 12m -13 = 0
Suppose m₁, m₂ are two roots of the equation
m₁ + m₂ = -4, m₁ m₂ = \(\frac{-13}{3}\)
Combined equation of OA and OB is
(m₁x – y) (m₂x – y) = 0
m₁m₂x² – (m₁ + m₂) xy + y² = 0
\(\frac{-13}{3}\)x² + 4xy + y² = 0
-13 x² + 12xy + 3y² = 0 or
13x² – 12xy – 3y² = 0

Question 5.

Slope of AB = – λ
Suppose OA and OB are the required lines
Suppose equation of OA is
y = mx ⇒ mx – y = 0

2(m² + 1) cos² α = (m – 1)²
2(m² + 1) = \(\frac{(m-1)^{2}}{\cos ^{2} \alpha}\) = (m – 1)² sec² α.
2m² + 2 = m² sec² α – 2m sec² α + sec² α.
m² (sec² α – 2) – 2m sec² α + (sec² α – 2) = 0
m₁ + m₂ = \(\frac{2 \sec ^{2} \alpha}{\sec ^{2} \alpha-2}\), m₁m₂ = 1
Combined equation of OA and OB is
(y – m₁x) (y – m₂x) = 0
y² (m₁ + m₂) xy + m₁m₂ x² = 0

Combined equation of OA and OB is
x² + 2xy sec 2a + y² = 0

Question 6.
Show that the straight lines represented by (x + 2a)² – 3y² = 0 and x = a form an equilateral triangle.
Solution:
Combined equation of OA, OB is
(x + 2a)² – 3y² = 0
(x + 2a)² – (√3y)² =0
(x + 2a + √3 y) (x + 2a – √3 y) = 0

Equation of OA is
x + √3y + 2a = 0 ………….. (1)
Equation of OB is
x – √3y + 2a = 0 ………. (2)
Equation of AB is x – a = 0

∴ ∠OBA =60°
∴ ∠AOB = 180°- (∠OAB + ∠OBA)
= 180° – (60° + 60°)
= 180° – 120°
= 60°
∴ ∆OAB is an equilateral triangle.

Question 7.
Show that the pair of bisectors of the angles between the straight lines (ax + by)² = c (bx – ay)², c > 0 are parallel and perpen-dicular to the line ax+ by + k= 0.
Solution:
Combined equation of the given lines is (ax + by)² = c (bx – ay)²
a²x² + b²y² + 2ab xy = c (b²x² + a²y² – 2abxy)
= cb²x² +ca²y² – 2cabxy
(a² – cb²)x² + 2ab (1 + c²) xy + (b² – ca²)y² = 0
Equation of the pair of bisectors is
h (x – y²) = (a – h) xy ^
ab (1 + c) (x² – y²)
= (a² – cb² – b² + ca²) (x² – y²) = 0
= (a² – b²)(1 + c) xy.
i.e., ab (x² – y²) – (a² – b²) xy = 0
(ax + by) (bx – ay) = abx² – a2xy +b²xy – aby²
= ab(x² – y²) – (a² – b²)xy
∴ The equation of the pair of bisectors are (ax + by) (bx – ay) = 0
The bisectors are ax + by = 0 and bx – ay = 0
ax + by = 0 is parallel to ax + by + k = 0
bx – ay = 0 is perpendicular to ax + by +k=0.

Solution:
Let ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0 represent the lines
l₁x + m₁y = 0 ………… (1)
l₂x + m₂y = 0 ………… (2)
∴ (l₁x + m₁y) (l₂x + m₂y) = ax² + 2hxy + by²

The straight line lx + my + n = 0 bisects an angle between the pair of lines of which one is px + qy + r = 0. Show that the other line is (px + qy + r) (l² + m²) – 2(lp + mq) (lx + my + n) = 0.
Solution:
lx + my + n – 0 is a bisector and let (a, P) be any point on it so that
lα + mβ + n = 0 …………….. (1)
The other line will pass through the intersection of given lines and given bisector and hence by p +λq = 0
Its equation is
(px + qy + r) + λ(lx + my + n) = 0 …………….. (2)
Also px + qy + r = 0
If (α, β) be a point on the bisector then its perpendicular distance from the lines (2) and (3) is same.

Putting lα + mβ + n = 0 by (1) in the above and cancelling pα + qβ + r and then squaring both sides, we get
(p + lλ)² + (q + mλ)² = p² + q² or
2λ(pl + qm)+ λ²(l² + m²) = 0
∴ λ = -2\(\frac{p l+Q m}{l^{2}+m^{2}}\)
Substitute X value in (2),
(px + qy + r) + \(\left(\frac{-2(p /+Q m)}{l^{2}+m^{2}}\right)\) lx + my + n = 0
⇒ (px + qy + r)(l² + m²) -2(pl + qm) (lx + my + n ) = 0
