If R is any point on the x-axis and Q is any point on the y-axis and P is a variable point on RQ with RP = b, PQ = a. then find the equation of locus of P
उत्तर
P = (x, 0)
Q = (0, y)
R (h, k) be a point on RQ such that PR : RQ = b : a
∴ P = `(("a"x)/("a" + "b"), ("b"y)/("a" + "b"))`
⇒ `(("a"x)/("a" + "b"), ("b"y)/("a" + "b"))` = (h, k)
⇒ ax = (a + b)h
⇒ x = `("a" + "b")/"a" "h"`
by = (a + b)k
⇒ y = `("a" + "b")/"b" "k"`
From the right angled triangle OQR, OR2 + OQ2 = QR2 
(i.e) X2 + Y2 = (a + b)2
⇒ `[("a" + "b")/"a" "h"]^2 + [("a" + "b")/"b" "k"]^2` = (a + b)2
⇒ `("a" + "b")^2/"a"^2 "h"^2 + ("a" + "b")^2/"b"^2 "k"^2` = (a + b)2
÷ by (a + b)2, `"h"^2/"a"^2 + "k"2/"b"^2` = 1
Locus is `x^2/"a"^2 + y^2/"b"^2` = 1
