Q83 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2018 (23 Apr Shift 2) · Mathematics

The transformed equation of $3 x^2-6 x y+8 y^2=8$ when the axes are rotated about the origin through an angle $\frac{\pi}{4}$ in the positive direction, is

  • A
    $5 x^2+10 x y+17 y^2+16=0$
  • Correct answer
    B
    $5 x^2+10 x y+17 y^2-16=0$
  • C
    $5 x^2-10 x y+17 y^2-16=0$
  • D
    $5 x^2-10 x y+17 y^2+16=0$

Solution

Given transformed equation is $$ 3 x^2-6 x y+8 y^2=8 $$ Now, $x^{\prime}=x \cos \frac{\pi}{4}-y \sin \frac{\pi}{4}=\frac{x-y}{\sqrt{2}}$ and $y^{\prime}=x \sin \frac{\pi}{4}+y \cos \frac{\pi}{4}=\frac{x+y}{\sqrt{2}}$ Before transformation the equation is $$ \begin{aligned} & 3\left(\frac{x-y}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^2-6\left(\frac{x-y}{\sqrt{2}}\right)\left(\frac{x+y}{\sqrt{2}}\right)+8\left(\frac{x+y}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^2=8 \\ & \Rightarrow 3\left(x^2+y^2-2 x y\right)-6\left(x^2-y^2\right) \\ & \quad+8\left(x^2+y^2+2 x y\right)=16 \\ & \Rightarrow 5 x^2+17 y^2+10 x y-16=0 . \end{aligned} $$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
