JEE Mains · Maths · STD 12 - 10. vector algebra

An are \(P Q\) of a circle subtends a right angle at its centre \(O\). The mid point of the arc \(P Q\) is \(R\). If \(\overline{O P}=\vec{u}, \overline{O R}=\vec{v}\) and \(\overrightarrow{O Q}=\alpha \vec{u}+\beta \vec{v}\), then \(\alpha, \beta^2\) are the roots of the equation

  1. A \(x ^2- x -2=0\)
  2. B \(3 x^2+2 x-1=0\)
  3. C \(x^2+x-2=0\)
  4. D \(3 x ^2-2 x -1=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(x ^2- x -2=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(|\vec{u}|=|\vec{v}|=|\alpha \vec{u}+\beta \vec{v}|\) \((\vec{u}) \cdot(\alpha \vec{u}+\beta \vec{v})=0\) \(\vec{u} \cdot \vec{v}=|u||v| \cos 45^{\circ}\) \(\alpha=-\frac{\beta}{\sqrt{2}}\) \(=|\alpha \vec{u}+\beta \vec{v}|=r\) \(\alpha^2+\beta^2+\sqrt{2} \alpha \beta=1\)…
