The transformed equation $3 x^2+3 y^2+2 x y=2$, when the coordinate axes are rotated through an angle $45^{\circ}$ is
  1. $x^2+2 y^2=1$
  2. $2 x^2+y^2=1$
  3. $x^2+y^2=1$
  4. $x^2+3 y^2=1$

Solution

Given, equation is $3 x^2+3 y^2+2 x y=2 \ldots$ (i) When coordinate axis are rotated through an angle $\theta$, then $ x=X \cos \theta-Y \sin \theta \text { and } y=X \sin \theta+Y \cos \theta $ where, $(X, Y)$ is new coordinate after transformation. Given, $\theta=45^{\circ}$, then $x=\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}}-\frac{y}{\sqrt{2}}$ and $y=\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{y}{\sqrt{2}}$ Putting value of $x$ and $y$ in Eq. (i), we get $ \begin{aligned} & 3\left(\frac{X}{\sqrt{2}}-\frac{Y}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^2+3\left(\frac{X}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{Y}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^2 \\ & +2\left(\frac{X}{\sqrt{2}}-\frac{Y}{\sqrt{2}}\right)\left(\frac{X}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{Y}{\sqrt{2}}\right)=2 \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{3}{2}(X-Y)^2+\frac{3}{2}(X+Y)^2+\left(X^2-Y^2\right)=2 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad \frac{3}{2}\left[2 X^2+2 Y^2\right]+X^2-Y^2=2 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad 3 X^2+3 Y^2+X^2-Y^2=2 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad 4 X^2+2 Y^2=2 \\ & \text { or } \\ & 2 X^2+Y^2=1 \\ & \end{aligned} $ $\therefore$ Transformed equation is $2 x^2+y^2=1$
