If the equation of the median through BB is 2x+y−3=02x + y - 3 = 0 and the equation of angle bisector of CC is 7x−4y−1=07x - 4y - 1 = 0, then tanθtan\theta is equal to:Let ABC be a triangle with A ( - 3, 1 ) and ∠ ACB = θ, 0 < θ < (π)/(2) . If the equation of the median through B is 2x

Options

  1. A34\dfrac{3}{4}
  2. B43\dfrac{4}{3}
  3. C22
  4. D12\dfrac{1}{2}

Correct answer

B. 43\dfrac{4}{3}

Step-by-step solution

Let ABC be a triangle with A ( - 3, 1 ) and ∠ ACB = θ, 0 < θ < (π)/(2) . If the equation of the median through B is 2x

Let, x−x -coordinate of the point CC is α\alpha, So coordinate of the point C(α,7α−14)C\left(\alpha, \dfrac{7\alpha - 1}{4}\right)∵ ( C\text{lies on}7x - 4y - 1 = 0 )</p><p>Hence,midpointof</p><p> Hence, mid point ofACisism\left(\dfrac{\alpha - 3}{2}, \dfrac{7\alpha + 3}{8}\right)</p><p>As,point</p><p>As, pointmliesonthelinelies on the line2x + y - 3 = 0,Substituting,weget, Substituting, we get\alpha = 3.</p><p>So..</p><p>So.C ( 3, 5 )</p><p>Hence,slopeofACis</p><p>Hence, slope of AC is\dfrac{2}{3}andslopeofand slope of7x - 4y - 1 = 0isis\dfrac{7}{4}</p><p></p><p>∴ tan\dfrac{\theta}{2} = \dfrac{\dfrac{7}{4} - \dfrac{2}{3}}{1 + \dfrac{7}{4} \times \dfrac{2}{3}} = \dfrac{1}{2}</p><p></p><p>⇒ tan\theta = \dfrac{2 \cdot \dfrac{1}{2}}{1 - \dfrac{1}{4}} = \dfrac{4}{3} ⇒ tan\theta = \dfrac{4}{3}
