TS Inter 1st Year Maths 1B Transformation of Axes Solutions Exercise 2(a)
I.
 Question 1.
 When the origin is shifted to (4, – 5) by the translation of axes, find the coordinates of the following points with reference to new axes. (V.S.A.Q.)
 (i) (0, 3)
 (ii) (-2, 4)
 (iii) (4, -5)
 Answer:
 (i) (0, 3)
 New origin = (4, -5) = (h, k)
 Old co-ordinates are (0, 3) = (x, y)
 x’ = x – h = 0 – 4 = – 4 and y’ = y – k = 3 + 5 = 8
 ∴ New coordinates = (- 4, 8)
(ii) (- 2, 4)
 New origin = (4, -5) = (h, k)
 Old coordinates are (- 2, 4) = (x, y)
 x’ = x – h = – 2 – 4 = – 6
 y’ = y – k = 4 + 5 = 9
 ∴ New coordinates = (- 6, 9)
(iii) (4, – 5)
 New origin = (4, -5) = (h, k)
 Old coordinates are (4, -5) = (x, y)
 x’ = x – h = 4 – 4 = 0
 y’ = y – k = – 5 + 5 = 0
 ∴ New coordinates = (0, 0)

Question 2.
 The origin is shifted to (2,3) by the translation of axes. If the co-ordinates of a point P change as follows, find the co-ordinates of P in the original system. (V.S.A.Q.)
 (i) (4, 5)
 (ii) (-4, 3)
 (iii)(0, 0)
 Answer:
 (i) (4, 5)
 New coordinates (x’,y’) = (4, 5)
 origin (h, k) = (2, 3)
 Old coordinates of P are x = x’ + h = 4 + 2 = 6
 y = y’ + k = 5 + 3 = 8
 ∴ Old coordinates = (6, 8)
(ii) (- 4, 3)
 New coordinates (x’, y’) = (-4, 3)
 origin (h, k) = (2, 3)
 Old coordinates of P are x = x’ + h = – 4 + 2 = – 2
 y = y’ + k = 3 + 3 = 6
 ∴ Old coordinates = (- 2, 6)
(iii) (0, 0)
 New coordinates (x’,y’) = (0, 0)
 origin(h, k) = (2, 3)
 Old coordinates of P are x = x’ + h = 0 + 2 = 2
 y = y’ + k = 0 + 3 = 3
 ∴ Old co-ordinates = (2, 3)
Question 3.
 Find the point to which the origin is to be shifted so that the point (3,0) may change to (2, -3). (V.S.A.Q.)
 Answer:
 (x, y) = (3, 0)
 (x’,y’) = (2,-3)
 Let ( h, k ) be the shifted origin,
 h = x – x’ = 3 – 2 = 1
 k = y – y’ = 0 + 3 = 3
 ∴ (h, k) = (1, 3)
Question 4.
 When the origin is shifted to (-1, 2) by the translation of axes, find the transformed equations of the following.
 (i) x2 + y2 + 2x – 4y + 1 = 0
 (ii) 2x2 + y2 – 4x + 4y = 0 (V.S.A.Q.)
 Answer:
 (i) x2 + y2 + 2x – 4y + 1 = 0
 The given equation is
 x2 + y2 + 2x – 4y + 1 = 0
 origin is shifted to (-1, 2)
 ∴ h = – 1, k = 2
 Transformed equations are
 x = x’ + h, y = y’+ k
 ⇒ x = x’ – 1, y = y’ + 2
 ∴ The new equation is
 (x’ – 1)2 + (y’ + 2)2 + 2( x’ – 1) – 4(y’ + 2) + 1 = 0
 x’2 + 1 – 2x’ + y’2 + 4y’ + 4 + 2x ‘ – 2 – 4y’- 8 + 1 = 0
 ⇒ x’2 + y’2 – 4 = 0
(ii) 2x2 + y2 – 4x + 4y = 0
 The given equation is
 2x2 + y2 – 4x + 4y = 0
 By the above transformation we have
 x = x’ – 1, y = y’ + 2
 ∴ 2 (x’ – 1)2 + (y’ + 2)2 – 4(x’ – 1) + 4 (y’ + 2) = 0
 ⇒ 2 [ x’2 – 2x’ + 1] + y’2 + 4y’ + 4 – 4x’ + 4 + 4 y’ + 8 = 0
 ⇒ 2 x’2 + y’2 – 8x’ + 8y’ + 18 = 0

Question 5.
 The point to which the origin is shifted and the transformed equations are given below. Find the original equation.
 (i) ( 3, – 4 ) ; x2 + y2 = 4
 (ii) (-1, 2 ) ; x2 + 2y2 + 16 = 0 (V.S.A.Q.)
 Answer:
 (i) ( 3, – 4 ) ; x2 + y2 = 4
 Shifted origin = (h, k) = ( 3, – 4)
 x’ = x – h
 = x – 3
 y’ = y – k
 = y + 4
 The given equation is x2 + y2 = 4
 The original equation of 3x’2 + y’2 = 4 is
 (x – 3)2 + (y + 4)2 = 4
 ⇒ x2 – 6x + 9 + y2 + 8y + 16 = 4
 ⇒ x2 + y2 – 6x + 8y + 21 = 0
(ii) (-1, 2) ; x2 + 2y2 + 16 = 0
 Given shifted origin = (h, k) = (- 1, 2)
 x’=x + h
 = x + 1
 y’ = y + k
 = y – 2
 The original equation of x’2 +2 y’2 + 16 = 0 is
 ( x + 1)2 + 2 (y – 2)2 + 16 = 0
 ⇒ x2 + 2x + 1 + 2 ( y2 – 4y + 4) + 16 = 0
 ⇒ x2 + 2y2 + 2x – 8y + 25 = 0
Question 6.
 The point to which the origin is shifted and the transformed equations are given below.
 Find the original equation.
 (i) (3, – 4); x2 + y2 = 4
 (ii) (- 1, 2); x2 + 2y2 + 16 = O (V.S.A.Q.)
 Answer:
 (3, – 4); x2 + y2 = 4
 Shifted origin (h, k) = (3, – 4)
 x’ = x – h
 = x – 3
 y’ = y – k
 = y + 4
 The given equation is x2 + y2 = 4
 The original equation of 3x’2 + y’2 = 4 is
 (x – 3)2 + (y + 4)2 = 4
 ⇒ x2 – 6x + 9 + y2 + 8y + 16 = 4
 ⇒ x2 + y2 – 6x + 8y + 21 = 0
(ii) (- 1, 2) ; x2 + 2y2 + 16 = 0
 Given shifted origin = (h, k) = (- 1, 2)
 x’ = x + h
 = x + 1
y’ = y + k
 = y – 2
 The origin equation of x’2 + 2y’2 + 16 = 0 is
 (x + 1)2 + 2(y – 2)2 + 16 = 0
 ⇒ x2 + 2x + 1 + 2 (y2 – 4y + 4) + 16 = 0
 ⇒ x2 + 2y2 + 2x – 8y + 25 = 0

Question 7.
 Find the point to which the origin is to be shifted so as to remove the first degree terms from the equation 4x2 + 9y2 – 8x + 36y + 4 =0. (V.S.A.Q.)
 Answer:
 The given equation is
 4x2 + 9y2 – 8x + 36y + 4 = 0
 To make first degree terms missing in the equation origin should be shifted to \(\left(\frac{h f-b g}{a b-h^2}, \frac{g h-a f}{a b-h^2}\right)\)
 Comparing with
 ax2 + 2hxy + by2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 we have
 a = 4, b = 9, h = 0, g = – 4, f = 18, c = 4
 
Question 8.
 When the axes are rotated through an angle 30°, find the new coordinates of the following points. (V.S.A.Q.)
 (i) (0, 5)
 (ii) (- 2, 4)
 (iii) (0, 0)
 Answer:
 (i) ( 0, 5 )
 Given θ = 30° and (x, y) = (0, 5)
 We have x’ = x cos θ + y sin θ
 = 0 (cos 30°) + 5 ( sin 30°) = 5\(\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\) = \(\frac{5}{2}\)
 y’ = – x sin θ + y cos θ
 = – 0 (sin 30°) + 5 cos 30° = \(\frac{5 \sqrt{3}}{2}\)
 ∴ New coordinates = \(\left(\frac{5}{2}, \frac{5 \sqrt{3}}{2}\right)\)
(ii) (-2, 4)
 θ = 30° and (x, y) = (-2, 4)
 We have x’= x cos θ + y sin θ
 = – 2 cos 30° + 4 sin 30°
 = – 2 \(\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)\) + 4\(\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\) = – √3 + 2
 y’ = – x sin θ + y cos θ
 = – (- 2) sin 30° + 4 cos 30°
 = 2 sin 30° + 4 cos 30°
 = 2 \(\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\) + 4 \(\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)\) = 1 + 2√3
 ∴ New coordinates = (- √3 + 2, 1 + 2√3)
(iii) (0, 0)
 θ = 30° and (x, y) = (0, 0)
 x’= x cos θ + y sin θ
 = 0 cos 30° + 0 sin 30° = 0
 y’ = – x sin 0 + y cos 0
 = – (0) sin 30° + 0 cos (30°) = 0
 ∴ New coordinates = (0, 0)
Question 9.
 When the axes are rotated through an angle 60°, the new coordinates of three points are the following
 (i) (3, 4)
 (ii) (- 7, 2)
 (iii) (2, 0)
 Find their original coordinates. (V.S.A.Q.)
 Answer:
 Given θ = 60°, (x’, y’) = (3, 4)
 We have x = x’ cos θ – y’ sin θ
 = 3 cos 60° – 4 sin 60°
 

(ii) Given θ = 60° and (x’, y’) = (-7, 2)
 We have x = x’ cos θ – y’ sin θ
 = (- 7) cos 60° – 2 sin 60°
 
(iii) Given θ = 60°; (x’, y’) = (2, 0)
 We have x = x’ cos θ – y’ sin θ
 = 2 cos 60° – 0 sin 60°
 = 2\(\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\) – 0 \(\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)\) = 1
 Also y = x’ sin θ + y’ cos θ
 = 2 sin 60° + 0 cos 60° = √3
 = 2\(\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)\) + 0\(\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\) = √3
 ∴ Original coordinates of P = (1, √3)
Question 10
 Find the angle through which the axes are to be rotated so as to remove the xy term in the equation x2 + 4xy + y2 – 2x + 2y – 6 = 0. (V.S.A.Q.) (June 2004)
 Answer:
 Comparing the given equation with
 ax2 + 2hxy + by2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0
 We have a = 1, 2h = 4 ⇒ h = 2,
 b = 1, 2g = – 2 ⇒ g = – 1
 2f = 2 ⇒ f = 1, c = – 6
 Let θ be the angle of rotation of axes, then
 
II.
 Question 1.
 When the origin is shifted to the point (2, 3), the transformed equation of a curve is x2 + 3xy – 2y2 + 17x – 7y – 11 = 0. Find the original equation of the curve. (S.A.Q.) (March 2011)
 Answer:
 Transformed equations are
 
 Transformed equation is
 x’2 + 3x’y’ – 2 y’2 + 17x’ – 7y’ – 11 = 0
 Original equation is
 (x – 2)2 + 3 (x – 2) (y – 3) – 2 (y – 3)2 – 7 (y – 3) – 11 = 0
 ⇒ x2 – 4x + 4 + 3 (xy – 2y – 3x + 6) – 2 (y2 – 6y + 9) – 7y + 21 – 11 = 0
 ⇒ x2 + 3xy – 2y2 + 4x – y – 20 = 0
 ∴ The original equation of the curve is
 x2 + 3xy – 2y2 + 4x – y – 20 = 0

Question 2.
 When the axes are rotated through an angle 45°, the transformed equation of a curve is 17x2 – 16xy + 17y2 = 225. Find the original equation of the curve. (S.A.Q.) (May 2012)
 Answer:
 Angle of rotation is θ = 45°
 x’ = x cos θ + y sin θ
 = x cos 45° + y sin 45°
 = x\(\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)\) + y\(\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)\) = \(\frac{x+y}{\sqrt{2}}\)
 y’ = – x sin θ + y cos θ
 = – x sin 45° + y cos 45°
 = – \(\frac{x+y}{\sqrt{2}}\)
 The original equation of the curve
 ⇒ 17x2 – 16x’y + 17y’2 = 225 is
 
 ⇒ 17x2 + 17y2 + 34xy – 16y2 + 16x2 + 17x2 + 17y2 – 34xy = 450
 ⇒ 50x2 + 18y2 = 450
 ⇒ 25x2 + 9y2 = 225
Question 3.
 When the axes are rotated through an angle a, find the transformed equation of x cos α + y sin α = p. (S.A.Q.) (Mar. ’14, May 2007)
 Answer:
 Given equation is x cos α + y sin α = p and axes are rotated through an angle α.
 x = x’ cos α – y’ sin α
 y = x’ sin α + y’ cos α
 The given equation transformed to
 (x’ cos α – y’ sin α) cos α + ( x’ sin α + y’ cos α) sin α = p
 ⇒ x’ (cos2α + sin2α) = p
 ⇒ x’ = p
 ∴ Transformed equation is x = p.
Question 4.
 When the axes are rotated through an angle \(\frac{\pi}{6}\), find the transformed equation of x2 + 2 √3 xy – y2 = 2a2. (S.A.Q.) (March 2012, ’07, 04; May 2006 )
 Answer:
 
 ⇒ 3x2 – 2√3 + y2 + 6x2 – 2√3 xy + 6√3 xy – 6y2 – x2 – 2√3 xy – 3y2 = 8a2
 ⇒ 8x2 – 8y2 = 8a2
 ⇒ x2 – y2 = a2
 ∴ Required transformed equation is x2 – y2 = a2

Question 5.
 When the axes are rotated through an angle \(\frac{\pi}{4}\), find the transformed equation of
 3x2 + 10xy + 3y2 = 9. (S.A.Q.) (May’14, ’11)
 Answer:
 Given equation is
 3x2 + 10xy + 3y2 = 9 …………… (1)
 and angle of rotation θ = \(\frac{\pi}{4}\)
 Let (X ,Y) be the new coordinates of (x, y) then x = X cos θ – Y sin θ
 
 ⇒ 3X2 – 6XY + 3Y2 + 10X2 – 10Y2 + 3X2 + 6XY + 3Y2 = 18
 ⇒ 16X2 – 4Y2 – 18 = 0
 ⇒ 8X2 – 2Y2 = 9
 ∴ The transformed equation of the given equation is
 8X2 – 2Y2 = 9
