Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\sqrt{1-2 a+2 a^2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, curve is \(2 x^2+y^2=2 x\) \(2 x^2-2 x+y^2=0\) \(\Rightarrow \quad 2\left(x-\frac{1}{2}\right)^2+y^2=\frac{1}{2}\) \(\Rightarrow \quad \frac{\left(x-\frac{1}{2}\right)^2}{\frac{1}{4}}+\frac{y^2}{\frac{1}{2}}=1\) which represents an ellipse. Here,…
