Q.

The sum of squares of all possible values of k, for which area of the region bounded by the parabolas 2y2=kx and ky2=2(y-x) is maximum, is equal to _______ .         [2024]


Ans.

(8)

ky2=2(y-x) and 2y2=kx

Point of intersection

y(ky-2(1-2yk))=0

⇒ ky2-2(y-2y2k)=0

⇒y=0 and ky=2(1-2yk)⇒ky+4yk=2

y=2k+4k=2kk2+4        ∴A=∫02kk2+4((y-ky22)-(2y2k))·dy

=[y22-(k2+2k)·y33]02kk2+4

=(2kk2+4)2[12-k2+42k×13×2kk2+4]=16×4×(1k+4k)2

A.M.≥G.M.⇒(k+4k2)≥2⇒k+4k≥4

So, area is maximum when k=4k⇒k=2,-2

∴Sum of squares of all possible values of k

=22+(-2)2=8
