Consider the triangles with vertices A 2 , 1 , B 0 , 0 and C t , 4 , t = 0 , 4 . If the maximum and the minimum perimeters of such triangles are obtained at t = α and t = β respectively, then 6 α + 21 β is equal to ___________.
Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
Given, The triangles with vertices A 2 ,   1 ,   B 0 ,   0 and C t ,   4 ,   t = 0 ,   4 , And the maximum and the minimum perimeters of such triangles are obtained at t = α and t = β respectively, Now to minimise C A + C B , in below diagram take image of B in y = 4 , We get, B ' = 0 ,   8 Now finding, equation of A B ' we get, y - 8 = - 7 2 x - 0 Now, putting y = 4 in above equation we get, - 4 = - 7 2 x ⇒ x = 8 7 ⇒ β = 8 7 Now, maximum perimet
