JEE Mains · Maths · STD 11 - 10.2 parabola,ellipse,hyperbola

Let \(L_1\) be the length of the common chord of the curves \(x^2 + y^2\, = 9\) and \(y^2\, = 8x\), and \(L_2\) be the length of the latus rectum of \(y^2\, = 8x\), then

  1. A \(L_1 > L_2\)
  2. B \(L_1\, = L_2\)
  3. C \(L_1 < L_2\)
  4. D \(\frac{{{L_1}}}{{{L_2}}} = \sqrt 2 \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(L_1 < L_2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have \({x^2} + \left( {8x} \right) = 9\) \({x^2} + 9x + x + 9 = 0\) \(x\left( {x + 9} \right) - 1\left( {x + 9} \right) = 0\) \(\left( {x + 9} \right)\left( {x - 1} \right) = 0\) \(x = - 9,1\) for \(x = 1,y = \pm 2\sqrt {2x} = \pm 2\sqrt 2 \) \({L_1} = \) Length of \(AB\)…
