Question Number 124001 by Don08q last updated on 30/Nov/20
A variable point P(x, y) moves on the curve xy = 6 and R is the point which divides the straight line that joins the points A(−2, 0) and B(0, −1) in the ratio 3:1, internally. Find the locus of PR.

P(x, (6/x)) ⇒AR : RB = 3 : 1 ⇒r^→ = ((a^→ +3b^→ )/(1+3)) = (((−(1/2))),(( 0)) ) + ((( 0)),((−(3/4))) ) = (((−(1/2))),((−(3/4))) ) R(−(1/2),−(3/4)). Let PR = λ ⇒(√((x+(1/2))^2 +(y+(3/4))^2 )) = λ ; ⇒ (x+(1/2))^2 +(y+(3/4))^2 = λ^2 ; put → { ((x=1)),((y=6)) :} substitute ⇒(1+(1/2))^2 +(6+(3/4))^2 = λ^2 ⇒(9/4)+((729)/(16)) = ((36+729)/(16))=((765)/(16))=λ^2 Thus the locus of PR is (x+(1/2))^2 +(y+(3/4))^2 = ((765)/(16)).
$${P}\left({x},\:\frac{\mathrm{6}}{{x}}\right)\:\Rightarrow{AR}\::\:{RB}\:=\:\mathrm{3}\::\:\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\overset{\rightarrow} {{r}}\:=\:\frac{\overset{\rightarrow} {{a}}+\mathrm{3}\overset{\rightarrow} {{b}}}{\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{3}}\:=\:\begin{pmatrix}{−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}}\\{\:\:\:\:\:\:\mathrm{0}}\end{pmatrix}\:+\:\begin{pmatrix}{\:\:\:\:\mathrm{0}}\\{−\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}}\end{pmatrix}\:=\:\begin{pmatrix}{−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}}\\{−\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}}\end{pmatrix} \\ $$$${R}\left(−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}},−\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}\right).\:{Let}\:{PR}\:=\:\lambda\: \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\sqrt{\left({x}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} +\left({y}+\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} }\:=\:\lambda\:;\: \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\left({x}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} +\left({y}+\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} =\:\lambda^{\mathrm{2}} \:;\:{put}\:\rightarrow\begin{cases}{{x}=\mathrm{1}}\\{{y}=\mathrm{6}}\end{cases} \\ $$$${substitute}\:\Rightarrow\left(\mathrm{1}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} +\left(\mathrm{6}+\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} =\:\lambda^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\frac{\mathrm{9}}{\mathrm{4}}+\frac{\mathrm{729}}{\mathrm{16}}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{36}+\mathrm{729}}{\mathrm{16}}=\frac{\mathrm{765}}{\mathrm{16}}=\lambda^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$${Thus}\:{the}\:{locus}\:{of}\:{PR}\:{is}\: \\ $$$$\:\:\:\left({x}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} +\left({y}+\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} =\:\frac{\mathrm{765}}{\mathrm{16}}.\: \\ $$
