Q.

Let the maximum and minimum values of (8xx2124)2+(x-7)2, xR be M and m, respectively. Then M2m2 is equal to __________.          [2024]


Ans.

(1600)

Let y = 8xx212

 y2=8xx212

           =(x28x+16)+4=(x4)2+4

(x4)2+y2=4          ... (i)

which is a circle with centre (4, 0) and radius 2.

Now, (y4)2+(x7)2 represent distance of (x, y) from (7, 4)

M = Maxium distance = (27)2+(04)2=25+16=41

m = Minimum distance = Distance between P and (7, 4)

where P is the intersection of circle with line joining (4, 0) and (7, 4).

Now, equation of line joining (4, 0) and (7, 4) is given by

(y0)=4074(x4)

i.e.y = 43(x4)

On substituting the value of y is in (i), we get

(x4)2+169(x4)2=4

 (x4)2[259]=4  (x4)2=3625  x4=±65

 x=65+4=265, y=85         (Neglect negative sign)

So, m=(2657)2+(854)2=8125+14425=22525=9

  M2m2=41292=1600.
