The equations of the sides AB, BC and CA of a triangle ABC are 2x + y = 0, x + py = 15a and x – y = 3 respectively. If its orthocenter is (2, a), $-\frac{1}{2}<a<2,$ then p is equal to…………

Let A, A’ be (, 2) AB and A’B subtends $\frac{\pi }{4}$ angle at (0, 0) slope of OA = $\frac{2}{\alpha }$

slope of OB = $\frac{3}{2}$

$tan\frac{\pi }{4}=\left|\frac{\frac{2}{\alpha }-\frac{3}{2}}{1+\frac{2}{\alpha }\cdot \frac{3}{2}}\right|$

$\Rightarrow 1+\frac{3}{\alpha }=\pm \left(\frac{4-3\alpha }{2\alpha }\right)$

$\Rightarrow \frac{\alpha +3}{\alpha }=\pm \left(\frac{4-3\alpha }{2\alpha }\right)\Rightarrow \alpha =10,-\frac{2}{5}$

now distance between A’A, (10, 2) & $\left(\frac{-2}{5},2\right)is\frac{52}{5}$

Let point P : (h, k)

Therefore according to question,  ${\left(h-1\right)}^2+{\left(k-2\right)}^2+{\left(h+2\right)}^2+{\left(k-1\right)}^2=14$

$\therefore$ locus of P (h, k) is $x^2+y^2+x-3y-2=0$

Now intersection with x – axis are $x^2+x-2=0\Rightarrow x=-2,1$

Now intersection with y – axis are $y^2-3y-2=0\Rightarrow y=\frac{3\pm \sqrt[]{17}}{2}$

Therefore are of the quadrilateral ABCD is = $\frac{1}{2}\left(\left|x_1\right|+\left|x_2\right|\right)\left(\left|y_1\right|+\left|y_2\right|\right)=\frac{1}{2}\times 3\times \sqrt[]{17}=\frac{3\sqrt[]{17}}{2}$

Let equation of normal to x² = y at Q (t, t²) is x + 2ty = t + 2t³

It passes through the point (1, -1) so, 2t³ + 3t – 1 = 0

Let f(t) = 2t³ + 3t – 1 f   $\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)f\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)<0\Rightarrow t\in \left(\frac{1}{4},\frac{1}{3}\right)$

Let P(1 – sin q, -1 + cos q) $\therefore$  slope of normal = slope of CP $-\frac{1}{2t}=\frac{cos\theta }{-sin\theta }\Rightarrow 2t$ Þ = tan q according to question $x=1-sin\theta =1-\frac{2t}{\sqrt[]{1+4t^2}}=g\left(t\right)\therefore g\left(t\right)=1-\frac{2t}{\sqrt[]{1+4t^2}}$ ,  

Þ g’(t) < 0 Þ g(t) is decreasing function in  $t\in \left(\frac{1}{4},\frac{1}{3}\right)\Rightarrow g\left(t\right)\in \left(0.440,0.485\right)\in \left(\frac{1}{4},\frac{1}{2}\right)$

$\left(\frac{\mathrm{K}-2}{\mathrm{h}-1}\right)\left(\frac{1-2}{3-1}\right)=-1\Rightarrow \mathrm{K}=2\mathrm{h}$

$?[?\mathrm{A}\mathrm{B}\mathrm{C}]=5\sqrt[]{5}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}\left(\sqrt[]{5}\right)\sqrt[]{(\mathrm{h}-1{)}^2+(\mathrm{K}-2{)}^2}=5\sqrt[]{5}$

$\mathrm{t}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{n}?\theta =\frac{10}{\mathrm{x}}=\frac{\mathrm{h}}{{\mathrm{x}}_2}\Rightarrow {\mathrm{x}}_2=\frac{\mathrm{h}\mathrm{x}}{10}$

$\mathrm{t}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{n}??=\frac{15}{\mathrm{x}}=\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\mathrm{x}}\Rightarrow {\mathrm{x}}_1=\frac{\mathrm{h}\mathrm{x}}{15}$

Now,  $x_1+x_2=x=\frac{hx}{15}+\frac{hx}{10}$

$\Rightarrow 1=\frac{\mathrm{h}}{10}+\frac{\mathrm{h}}{15}\Rightarrow \mathrm{h}=6$
