Straight Line and Pair of Straight Lines 1 Question 70

70. For a point P in the plane, let d1(P) and d2(P) be the distances of the point P from the lines xy=0 and x+y=0, respectively. The area of the region R consisting of all points P lying in the first quadrant of the plane and satisfying 2d1(P)+d2(P)4, is

Solution:

  1. PLAN Distance of a point (x1,y1) from ax+by+c=0 is given by

|ax1+by1+ca2+b2|

Let P(x,y) is the point in first quadrant.

Now, 2|xy2|+|x+y2|4

22|xy|+|x+y|42

Case I xy

22(xy)+(x+y)42x[2,22]

Case II x<y

22yx+(x+y)42

y[2,22]

A=(22)2(2)2=6 sq units
