The line (x=m^2 ) meets an ellipse (9 x^2+y^2=9 ) in the real and distinct points if and only if
Options
- A(|m|>1 )
- B(|m| < 1 )
- C(|m|>2 )
- D(|m| < 2 )
Correct answer
B. (|m| < 1 )
Step-by-step solution
Since, the line (x=m^2 ) meets the ellipse (9 x^2+y^2=9 ) in the real and distinct points, so on solving line and ellipse, we get ( aligned & 9 m^4+y^2=9 & y^2=9 (1-m^4 ) > 0 & m^4 < 1 & |m| < 1 aligned ) Hence, option (b) is correct.
