Quadratics

If the eqn 2x2 +4xy + 7y2 - 12x - 2y + t = 0 where 't' is a parameter has exactly one real solution of the form (x,y) . Then the sum of (x+y) is equal to

(A) 3

(B) 5

(C) - 5

(D) -3

Ya right ans

just partially differentiate with respect to x
and den with respect to y
u will get two equation solve dem simultaneously to get the value of x and y

Or alternatively

\\2x^2+4xy+7y^2-12x-2y+t=0 \\2x^2+4x(y-3)+7y^2-2y+t=0 \\\text{this is a quadratic in x with only one real soln. Hence D=0} \\(4(y-3))^2=4.2.(7y^2-2y+t) \\2(y^2-6y+9)=7y^2-2y+t \\2y^2-12y+18=7y^2-2y+t \\5y^2+10y+t-18=0 \\\text{for on root, D=0 again} \\10^2=4.5.(t-18) \\t=23

if t=23, then y=-1

and if y = -1, the original quadratic gets reduced to

\\2x^2-16x+32=0

hence x=4

so x+y=3
