Application of Derivatives 4 Question 45

47. If $S$ is a square of unit area. Consider any quadrilateral which has one vertex on each side of $S$. If $a, b, c$ and $d$ denote the length of the sides of the quadrilateral, then prove that $2 \leq a^{2}+b^{2}+d^{2} \leq 4$.

Answer:

Correct Answer: 47. $\sqrt{2} x-2 y+2=0, \sqrt{2} x+2 y-2=0$

Solution:

  1. Let the square $S$ is to be bounded by the lines $x= \pm 1 / 2$ and $y= \pm 1 / 2$.

We have, $\quad a^{2}=x _1-\frac{1}{2}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}-y _1^{2}$

$$ =x _1^{2}-y _1^{2}-x _1-y _1+\frac{1}{2} $$

Similarly, $\quad b^{2}=x _2^{2}-y _1^{2}-x _2+y _1+\frac{1}{2}$

$$ c^{2}=x _2^{2}-y _2^{2}+x _2+y _2+\frac{1}{2} $$

$$ d^{2}=x _1^{2}-y _2^{2}+x _1-y _2+\frac{1}{2} $$

$\therefore \quad a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}+d^{2}=2\left(x _1^{2}+y _1^{2}+x _2^{2}+y _2^{2}\right)+2$

Therefore, $0 \leq x _1^{2}, x _2^{2}, y _1^{2}, y _2^{2} \leq \frac{1}{4}$

$$ \begin{array}{lc} & 0 \leq x _1^{2}+x _2^{2}+y _1^{2}+y _2^{2} \leq 1 \\ \Rightarrow & 0 \leq 2\left(x _1^{2}+x _2^{2}+y _1^{2}+y _2^{2}\right) \leq 2 \\ \text { But } & 2 \leq 2\left(x _1^{2}+x _2^{2}+y _1^{2}+y _2^{2}\right)+2 \leq 4 \end{array} $$

Alternate Solution

$$ c^{2}=x _2^{2}+y _2^{2} $$

$$ \begin{aligned} b^{2} & =\left(1-x _2\right)^{2}+y _1^{2} \\ a^{2} & =\left(1-y _1\right)^{2}+\left(1-x _1\right)^{2} \\ d^{2} & =x _1^{2}+\left(1-y _2\right)^{2} \end{aligned} $$

On adding Eqs. (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), we get

$a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}+d^{2}={x _1^{2}+\left(1-x _1\right)^{2} }+{y _1^{2}+\left(1-y _1\right)^{2} }$

$$ +{x _2^{2}+\left(1-x _2\right)^{2} }+{y _2^{2}+\left(1-y _2\right)^{2} } $$

where $x _1, y _1, x _2, y _2$ all vary in the interval $[0,1]$.

Now, consider the function $y=x^{2}+(1-x)^{2}, 0 \leq x \leq 1$ differentiating $\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=2 x-2(1-x)$. For maximum or $\operatorname{minimum} \frac{d y}{d x}=0$.

$\Rightarrow \quad 2 x-2(1-x)=0 \Rightarrow 2 x-2+2 x=0$

$\Rightarrow \quad 4 x=2 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x=1 / 2$

Again

$$ \frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}=2+2=4 $$

Hence, $y$ is minimum at $x=\frac{1}{2}$ and its minimum value is $1 / 4$. Clearly, value is maximum when $x=1$.

$\therefore$ Minimum value of $a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}+d^{2}=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=2$ and maximum value is $1+1+1+1=4$
