Question 1 Find the values of šœƒ and p, if the equation is the normal form of the line √3x + y + 2 = 0 . √3x + y + 2 = 0 2 = – √3x – y ā€“āˆš3x – y = 2 Dividing by √((āˆ’āˆš3)2 + (āˆ’1)2) = √(3+1) = √4 = 2 both sides (āˆ’āˆš3 š‘„)/2 āˆ’ š‘¦/2 = 2/2 (āˆ’āˆš3 š‘„)/2 āˆ’ š‘¦/2 = 1 Normal form is x cos šœ” + y sin šœ” = p Where p is the perpendicular distance from origin & šœ” is the angle between perpendicular & the positive x-axis ((āˆ’āˆš3)/2)š‘„ + ((āˆ’1)/2)y = 1 Normal form of any line is x cos šœ” + y sin šœ” = p Comparing (1) & (2)a p = 1 & cos ω = (āˆ’āˆš3)/2 & sin ω = (āˆ’1)/2 Now, finding ω ∓ ω = 180° + 30° = 210° Rough Ignoring signs cos Īø = √3/2 & sin Īø = 1/2 So, Īø = 30° As sin & cos both are negative, ∓ ω will lie in 3rd quadrant, So, ω = 180° + 30° So, the normal form of line is x cos 210° + y sin 210° = 1 Hence, Angle = 210° = 210 Ɨ šœ‹/(180° ) = šŸ•š…/šŸ” & Perpendicular Distance = p = 1
