Assuming convergence issues has been taken care of:
\sum_{k=0}^\infty \dfrac{x^k}{k+1}=\dfrac{1}{x}\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\dfrac{x^{k+1}}{k+1}=-\dfrac{\ln(1-x)}{x}

find the area of triangle whose sides (lines are given by )
1) ax2+2hxy+by2=0
2) lx+my=1
The given pair of lines
ax^2+2hxy+by^2=0 ---- (1)
and the given line
lx+my=1 ----- (2)
Since the lines in (1) meet at the origin O, it is one of the vertices. Let P(x1,y1) and Q(x2, y2) be the other two vertices determined by intersections of (2) with lines given by (1).
Since P and Q lie on (2), hence
y_1=\dfrac{1-l x_1}{m} and y_2=\dfrac{1-l x_2}{m}
Hence y_1-y_2=\dfrac{l}{m}(x_2-x_1)
Hence,
PQ=\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}=\dfrac{\sqrt{l^2+m^2}}{m}\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2}
i.e.
PQ=\dfrac{\sqrt{l^2+m^2}}{m}\sqrt{(x_1+x_2)^2-4x_1x_2}
Now, x1,2 are the roots of the equation obtained by eliminating y in (1) and (2) i.e. the equation
(am^2-2hlm+bl^2)x^2+2(hm-bl)x+b=0
Hence,
x_1+x_2=-\dfrac{2(hm-bl)}{am^2-2hlm+bl^2}
and
x_1x_2=\dfrac{b}{am^2-2hlm+bl^2}
So
(x_1+x_2)^2-4x_1x_2=\dfrac{4(hm-bl)^2-4b(am^2-2hlm+bl^2)}{(am^2-2hlm+bl^2)^2}
\Rightarrow\ (x_1+x_2)^2-4x_1x_2=\dfrac{4m^2(h^2-ab)}{(am^2-2hlm+bl^2)^2}
So PQ becomes
PQ=\dfrac{2\sqrt{(l^2+m^2)(h^2-ab)}}{am^2-2hlm+bl^2}
On the other hand the perpendicular dropped from O to PQ is
d = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{l^2+m^2}}
Hence the required area is
\dfrac{1}{2}PQ\times d = \dfrac{\sqrt{h^2-ab}}{am^2-2hlm+bl^2}
Same here Sir i was also thinking on the same procedure..but i dint proceed further coz it got too long due to so many calculations...It's so nice of u to post the entire solution..
