Let the radius of the circle be a.

Hence area is maximum when rectangle ABCD is a square.

There, the required square root is (1 4i )
Now the corresponding 2nd equation for the expression 15 + 8i is
2xy = 8
Which implies x and y have the same sign.
The required square root is (1 + 4i )

Changing the given problem to a maximization problem, we have

z1 = z = x1 x2
2 x1 x2 4
x1 7 x2 7
x1 0, x2 0

Introducing non-negative variables to form equation, we have

2 x1 x2 + s1 = 4
x1 7 x2 + s2 = 7
x1 0, x2 0, s1 0, s2 0

The initial simplex table is

Dividing R2 by 7 and applying the operation R1 + R2 , R3 R2 we get the following table

a.

The equation of any plane passing through the point (1,1,1) is

a (x + 1) + b (y 1) + c (z 1) = 0
(i)
Since the point (1, 1,1) lies on the plane
2a 2b + 0.c = 0
(ii)
Again the plan (i) is perpendicular to the plane x + 2y + 2z 5 =0
a + 2b + 2c = 0

From (ii) and (iii) ,by cross multiplication method we get

Hence the required equation of the plane is

2x + 2y 2z + 3 = 0
30.

3x + 2y z 4 = 0
...(i)
4x + y 2z + 3 = 0
... (ii)
Let z = 0 be the z coordinate of a point on each of the planes given by (i)
and (ii)
The equation of the planes reduce to
3x + 2y = 4
4x + y = 3
which on solving gives x = 2, y = 5
The point common to two planes is ( 2, 5, 0)

Let l , m, n be the direction ratios of the line.
