### Samacheer Kalvi 11th Business Maths Analytical Geometry Ex 3.1 Text Book Back Questions and Answers

Question 1.
Find the locus of a point which is equidistant from (1, 3) and x-axis.
Solution:

Let P(x1, y1) be any point on the locus.
Let A be the point (1, 3)
The distance from the x-axis on the moving pint P(x1, y1) is y1.
Given that AP = y1
AP2 = $$y_{1}^{2}$$

∴ The locus of the point (x1, y1) is x2 – 2x – 6y + 10 = 0

Question 2.
A point moves so that it is always at a distance of 4 units from the point (3, -2).
Solution:
Let P(x1, y1) be any point on the locus.
Let A be the point (3, -2)
Given that PA = 4
PA2 = 16

∴ The locus of the point (x1, y1) is x2 + y2 – 6x + 4y – 3 = 0

Question 3.
If the distance of a point from the points (2, 1) and (1, 2) are in the ratio 2 : 1, then find the locus of the point.
Solution:
Let P(x1, y1) be any point on the locus.
Let A(2, 1) and B(1, 2) be the given point.
Given that PA : PB = 2 : 1
i.e., $$\frac{P A}{P B}=\frac{2}{1}$$
PA = 2PB
PA2 = 4PB2

∴ The locus of the point (x1, y1) is 3x2 + 3y2 – 4x – 14y + 15 = 0

Question 4.
Find a point on the x-axis which is equidistant from the points (7, -6) and (3, 4).
Solution:
Let P(x1, 0) be any point on the x-axis.
Let A(7, -6) and B(3, 4) be the given points.
Given that PA = PB
PA2 = PB2

∴ The required point is $$\left(\frac{15}{2}, 0\right)$$

Question 5.
If A(-1, 1) and B(2, 3) are two fixed points, then find the locus of a point P so that the area of triangle APB = 8 sq.units.
Solution:
Let the point P(x1, y1).
Fixed points are A(-1, 1) and B(2, 3).
Given area (formed by these points) of the triangle APB = 8
⇒ $$\frac{1}{2}$$ [x1(y2 – y3) + x2(y3 – y1) + x3(y1 – y2)] = 8
⇒ $$\frac{1}{2}$$ [x1(1 – 3) + (-1) (3 – y1) + 2(y1 – 1)] = 8
⇒ $$\frac{1}{2}$$ [-2x1 – 3 + y1 + 2y1 – 2] = 8
⇒ $$\frac{1}{2}$$ [-2x1 + 3y1 – 5] = 8
⇒ -2x1 + 3y1 – 5 = 16
⇒ -2x1 + 3y1 – 21 = 0
⇒ 2x1 – 3y1 + 21 = 0
∴ The locus of the point P(x1, y1) is 2x – 3y + 21 = 0.
