Q.35 Find the shortest distance from
(0, 0) to hyperbola
in XY plane. (8)
Ans:
We have to find the minimum value of x2 + y2 (the square of the distance from the origin to any point in the xy plane) subject to the constraint x2 + 8xy + 7y2 = 225.
Consider the function F(x, y) = x2 + y2 + l (x2 + 8xy + 7y2 – 225), where x, y are independent variables and l is a constant.
Thus dF = (2x + 2xl + 8yl) dx + (2y + 8xl + 14yl) dy
Therefore, (1+l) x + 4ly = 0 and, 4lx + (1 + 7l) y = 0.
Thus l = 1, -1/9. For, l = 1, x = -2y, and substitution in x2 + 8xy + 7y2 = 225, gives y2 = - 45, for which no real solution exists.
For l = -1/9, y = 2x, and substitution in x2 + 8xy + 7y2 = 225, gives x2 = 5, y2 = 20 and so x2 + y2 = 25.

and cannot vanish because (dx, dy) ¹ (0,0). Hence the function x2 + y2 has a minimum value 25.
