Question

If P is a point on the curve 5x2 + 3xy + y2 = 2 and O is the origin, then OP has

Options

A.minimum value
B.minimum value
C.maximum value
D.maximum value 2

Solution

x = r cos θ, y = r sin θ
⇒  = 5 (1 + cos 2θ) + 3 sin 2θ + 1 - cos 2θ
= 6 + 4 cos 2θ + 3 sin 2θ, which has maximum 11 and minimum 1
∴  OP has minimum and maximum 2.
