The transformed equation of $x^2+6 x y+8 y^2=10$ when the axes are rotated through an angle $\frac{\pi}{4}$ is :
  1. $15 x^2-14 x y+3 y^2=20$
  2. $15 x^2+14 x y-3 y^2=20$
  3. $15 x^2+14 x y+3 y^2=20$
  4. $15 x^2-14 x y-3 y^2=20$

Solution

The given equation is $x^2+6 x y+8 y^2=10$ $\ldots$ (i) Since axes are rotated through an angle $\frac{\pi}{4}$. $\therefore \quad x=x_1 \cos \frac{\pi}{4}-y_1 \sin \frac{\pi}{4}=\frac{x_1-y_1}{\sqrt{2}}$ and $\quad y=x_1 \sin \frac{\pi}{4}+y_1 \sin \frac{\pi}{4}=\frac{x_1+y_1}{\sqrt{2}}$ On putting the value of $x$ and $y$ in Eq. (i) $\left(\frac{x_1-y_1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^2+6\left(\frac{x_1-y_1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)\left(\frac{x_1+y_1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)$ $+8\left(\frac{x_1+y_1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^2=10$ $\Rightarrow \quad \frac{x_1^2+y_1^2-2 x_1 y_1}{2}+\frac{6 x_1^2-6 y_1^2}{2}$ $+\frac{8\left(x_1^2+y_1^2+2 x_1 y_1\right)}{2}=10$ $\Rightarrow \quad x_1^2+y_1^2-2 x_1 y_1+6 x_1^2-6 y_1^2+8 x_1^2$ $+8 y_1^2+16 x_1 y_1=20$ $\Rightarrow \quad 15 x_1^2+3 y_1^2+14 x_1 y_1=20$ $\therefore$ Required equation is $15 x^2+14 x y+3 y^2=20$
