Question: The straight line y = 2x + l does not meet the parabola y<sup>2</sup> = 2x, if...

The straight line y = 2x + l does not meet the parabola

y2 = 2x, if

A

l<14\frac{1}{4}

B

l>14\frac{1}{4}

C

l = 4

D

l = 1

Answer

l>14\frac{1}{4}

Explanation

Solution

line y = 2x + l …(i)

Parabola y2 = 2x …(ii)

From (i) & (ii) (2x+ l)2 = 2x

̃ 4x2 + 4xl + l2 = 2x

̃ 4x2 + 2x(2l – 1) + l2 = 0

Does not meet the parabola D < 0

̃ 4(2l – 1)2 – 4(4)(l2) < 0

̃ 4[4l2 + 1 – 4l – 4l2] < 0

̃ 1 – 4l < 0 ̃ l > ¼
