One possible condition for the three points (a, b), (b, a) and (a2, - b2) to be collinear is
a - b = 2
a + b = 2
a = 1 + b
a = 1 - b
C.
a = 1 + b
Since, points (a, b), (b, a) and (a2, - b2) are collinear.
Either a - b = 0 or (a + b) = 0
or (b + 1 - a) = 0
Hence, option (c) is correct.
If the mth term and the nth term of an AP are respectively and , then the mnth term of the AP is

The function f(x) = satisfies the equation
f(x + 2) - 2f(x + 1) + f(x) = 0
f(x) + f(x + 1) = f{x(x + 1)}
f(x) + f(y) =
f(x + y) = f(x)f(y)

The equation of the circle which passes through the points of intersection of the circles x2 + y2 - 6x = 0 and x2 + y2 - 6y = 0 and has its centre at , is
x2 + y2 + 3x + 3y + 9 = 0
x2 + y2 + 3x + 3y = 0
x2 + y2 - 3x - 3y = 0
x2 + y2 - 3x - 3y + 9 = 0
