If the vertices of a· triangle are A(0, 4, 1), B(2, 3, - 1) and C(4, 5, 0), then the orthocentre of ABC, is
(4, 5, 0)
(2, 3, - 1)
(- 2, 3, - 1)
(2, 0, 2)
The normals at three points· P,Q and R of the parabola y2 = 4ax meet at (h, k). The centroid of the PQR lies on
x = 0
y = 0
x = - a
y = a
The minimum area of the triangle formed by any tangent to the ellipse ( x2/a2 ) + ( y2/b2 ) = 1 with the coordinate axes is
a2 + b2
( a + b )2/2
ab
( a - b )2/2
C.
ab
Equation of tangent at (acosθ, bsinθ) to the ellipse is
(x/a)cosθ + (y/b)sinθ = 1
Coordinates of P and Q are
( a/cosθ , 0) and ( 0 , b/sinθ ) respectively.
Now, area of Δ OPQ
=
∴ Minimum area = ab
