Q.

Let the point (p,p+1) lie inside the region E={(x,y):3-xy9-x2, 0x3}. If the set of all values of p is the interval (a,b), then b2+b-a2 is equal to _____ .          [2023]


Ans.

(3)

Given, 3-xy9-x2

3-xyx+y-30  (i)

y9-x2x2+y29

Now, (p,p+1) lies inside the region E.       p+p+1-30

p1 and p2+(p+1)29

2p2+2p-80  p2+p-40

p(-(1+17)2,17-12)

  p(1,17-12)    (as p1)

a=1, b=17-12   b2+b-a2=3
