The equation 4x + 5y = 20 can be written as + = 1
This implies the intercepts cut by this line on the X and Y axes are 5 and 4 respectively.
Hence the area of the triangle is 1/2 [ 5 x 4] = 10 square units
Since
Hence tautology
The given equation of the circle can be written as
(x-1)2 - 1 + (y- 2)2 - 4 = 0
(x - 1)2 + (y + 2)2 = 5
This implies the radius is and the centre is (1,-2)
The given point is (-1,2)
The distance between the centre of the circle and the given point is
=
Sice this is greater than the radius, the point lies outside the circle. Hence two tangents can be drawn.
The number of selections of r objects from the given n objects is denoted by and we have
Now n ties can be selected from a rack displaying 3n different ties in different ways
