Q25 of 47 Page 1

Find x in terms of a, b and c:

We have,



(x – c) [ax + bx – 2ab] = 2c (x2 – bx – ax + ab)


ax2 + bx2 – 2bx – acx – bcx + 2abc = 2cx2 – 2bcx – 2cax + 2abc


ax2 + bx2 – 2cx2 – 2abx + bcx + cax = 0


x2 (a + b – 2c) + x (- 2ab + bc + ca) = 0


∴ x = 0


Or x (a + b – 2c) + (- 2ab + bc + ca) = 0


∴

A bird is sitting on the top of a 80 m high tree. From a point on the ground, the angle of elevation of the bird is 45 �. The bird flies away horizontally in such a way that it remained at a constant height from the ground. After 2 seconds, the angle of elevation of the bird from the same point is 30 �. Find the speed of flying of the bird.
