Let A\left(1, 4\right)$ andB\left(1, - 5\right)betwopoints.Letbe two points. LetPbeapointonthecirclebe a point on the circle{\left(\left(x - 1\right)\right)}^{2} + {\left(y - 1\right)}^{2} = 1,suchthat, such that{\left(PA\right)}^{2} + {\left(PB\right)}^{2}havemaximumvalue,thenthepoints,have maximum value, then the points,P, AandandB$ lie on

Options

  1. Aa hyperbola
  2. Ba straight line
  3. Can ellipse
  4. Da parabola

Correct answer

B. a straight line

Step-by-step solution

PP be a point on (x−1)2+(y−1)2=1{\left(x - 1\right)}^{2} + {\left(y - 1\right)}^{2} = 1, so P(1+cosθ,1+sinθ)P\left(1 + cos\theta, 1 + sin\theta\right).

Given A(1,4) and B(1,−5)A\left(1, 4\right) \text{ and } B\left(1, - 5\right)

(PA)2+(PB)2{\left(PA\right)}^{2} + {\left(PB\right)}^{2}

=(cosθ)2+(sinθ−3)2+(cosθ)2+(sinθ+6)2= {\left(cos\theta\right)}^{2} + {\left(sin\theta - 3\right)}^{2} + {\left(cos\theta\right)}^{2} + {\left(sin\theta + 6\right)}^{2}

=47+6sinθ= 47 + 6sin\theta is maximum if sinθ=1sin\theta = 1

⇒sinθ=1,cosθ=0⇒ sin\theta = 1, cos\theta = 0

P(1,2),A(1,4),B(1,−5)P\left(1, 2\right), A\left(1, 4\right), B\left(1, - 5\right)

The points P,AP, A and BB lie on the line x=1x = 1.
