If the maximum and the minimum

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

Given,

The triangles with vertices AA\left(2, 1\right), B(0,0)B\left(0, 0\right) and C(t,4),t=[0,4]C\left(t, 4\right), t = \left[0, 4\right],

And the maximum and the minimum perimeters of such triangles are obtained at t=αt = \alpha and t=βt = \beta respectively,

Now to minimise CA+CBCA + CB, in below diagram take image of BB in y=4y = 4,

We get, B′=(0,8){B}^{'} = \left(0, 8\right)

Consider the triangles with vertices A (2, 1), B(0, 0) and C(t, 4), t = [0, 4] . If the maximum and the minimum

Now finding, equation of AB′A{B}^{'} we get,

y−8=−72(x−0)y - 8 = \dfrac{- 7}{2}\left(x - 0\right)

Now, putting y=4y = 4 in above equation we get,

−4=−72(x)- 4 = \dfrac{- 7}{2}\left(x\right)

⇒x=87⇒β=87⇒ x = \dfrac{8}{7} ⇒ \beta = \dfrac{8}{7}

Now, maximum perimeter will be possible if α=0\alpha = 0 or 44

Now taking α=0\alpha = 0 we get,

AB=5,BC=4 and AC=13AB = \sqrt{5}, BC = 4 \text{ and } AC = \sqrt{13}

Now when α=4\alpha = 4 we get,

AB=5,BC=42 and AC=13AB = \sqrt{5}, BC = 4\sqrt{2} \text{ and } AC = \sqrt{13}

Now on comparing the perimeter we get, maximum perimeter at α=4\alpha = 4

Hence, 6α+21β=486\alpha + 21\beta = 48
