between them is.........

  1. A \(\frac{7}{\sqrt{5}}\)
  2. B \(\frac{7}{2 \sqrt{5}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{7}{\sqrt{3}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{7}{2 \sqrt{5}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given equation is \(8 x^2+8 x y+2 y^2+26 x+13 y+15=0\) ...(i) On writing Eq. (i) as quadratic equation in \(x\), we get \(8 x^2+2 x(4 y+13)+2 y^2+13 y+15=0\) \(x=\frac{-2(4 y+13) \pm \sqrt{4(4 y+13)^2-32\left(2 y^2+13 y+15\right.}}{16}\)…
