Maharashtra Board 11th Maths Chapter 7, Class 11 Maths Chapter 7 solutions
Ex 7.1

ii) Given equation of the parabola is y2 = -20x.
Comparing this equation with y2 = -4ax, we get
⇒ 4a = 20
⇒ a = 5
Co-ordinates of focus are S(-a, 0), i.e., S(-5, 0)
Equation of the directrix is x – a = 0
⇒ x – 5 = 0
Length of latus rectum = 4a = 4(5) = 20
Co-ordinates of end points of latus rectum are (-a, 2a) and (-a, -2a),
⇒ (-5, 10) and (-5, -10).


∴ The required equation of the parabola is x2 = -4(5)y, i.e., x2 = -20y.

Question 4.
Find the equation of the parabola whose vertex is O(0, 0) and focus at (-7, 0).
Solution:
Focus of the parabola is S(-7, 0) and vertex is O(0, 0).
Since focus lies on X-axis, it is the axis of the parabola.
Focus S(-7, 0) lies on the left-hand side of the origin.
It is a left-handed parabola.
Required parabola is y = -4ax.
Focus is S(-a, 0).
a = 7
∴ The required equation of the parabola is y2 =-4(7)x, i.e., y2 = -28x.
Question 5.
Find the equation of the parabola with vertex at the origin, the axis along X-axis, and passing through the point
(i) (1, -6)
(ii) (2, 3)
Solution:
(i) Vertex of the parabola is at origin (0, 0) and its axis is along X-axis.
Equation of the parabola can be either y2 = 4ax or y2 = -4ax.
Since the parabola passes through (1, -6), it lies in the 4th quadrant.
Required parabola is y2 = 4ax.
Substituting x = 1 and y = -6 in y2 = 4ax, we get
⇒ (-6)2 = 4a(1)
⇒ 36 = 4a
⇒ a = 9
∴ The required equation of the parabola is y2 = 4(9)x, i.e., y2 = 36x.
(ii) Vertex of the parabola is at origin (0, 0) and its axis is along X-axis.
Equation of the parabola can be either y2 = 4ax or y2 = -4ax.
Since the parabola passes through (2, 3), it lies in 1st quadrant.
∴ Required parabola is y2 = 4ax.
Substituting x = 2 and y = 3 in y2 = 4ax, we get
⇒ (3)2 = 4a(2)
⇒ 9 = 8a





⇒ a = 1
Focal distance of a point = x + a
Given, focal distance = 17
⇒ x + 1 = 17
⇒ x = 16
Substituting x = 16 in y2 = 4x, we get
⇒ y2 = 4(16)
⇒ y2 = 64
⇒ y = ±8
∴ The co-ordinates of the point on the parabola are (16, 8) or (16, -8).
Question 10.
Find the length of the latus rectum of the parabola y2 = 4ax passing through the point (2, -6).
Solution:
Given equation of the parabola is y2 = 4ax and it passes through point (2, -6).
Substituting x = 2 and y = -6 in y2 = 4ax, we get
⇒ (-6)2 = 4a(2)
⇒ 4a = 18
∴ Length of latus rectum = 4a = 18 units

Question 12.
If a parabolic reflector is 20 cm in diameter and 5 cm deep, find its focus.
Solution:

Let LOM be the parabolic reflector such that LM is the diameter and ON is its depth.
It is given that ON = 5 cm and LM = 20 cm.
LN = 10 cm
Taking O as the origin, ON along X-axis and a line through O ⊥ ON as Y-axis.
Let the equation of the reflector be y2 = 4ax ……(i)
The point L has the co-ordinates (5, 10) and lies on parabola given by (i).
Substituting x = 5 and y = 10 in (i), we get
⇒ 102 = 4a(5)
⇒ 100 = 20a
⇒ a = 5
Focus is at (a, 0), i.e., (5, 0)
Question 13.
Find co-ordinates of focus, vertex, and equation of directrix and the axis of the parabola y = x2 – 2x + 3.
Solution:
Given equation of the parabola is y = x2 – 2x + 3
⇒ y = x2 – 2x + 1 + 2
⇒ y – 2 = (x – 1)2
⇒ (x – 1)2 = y – 2
Comparing this equation with X2 = 4bY, we get
X = x – 1, Y = y – 2
⇒ 4b = 1










Ex 7.2



Length of minor axis = 2b = 2√3
Lengths of the principal axes are 4 and 2√3.

Since a > b,
X-axis is the major axis and Y-axis is the minor axis.







































Ex 7.3









⇒ b = 5 and a = 3
Length of transverse axis = 2b = 2(5) = 10
Length of conjugate axis = 2a = 2(3) = 6
Co-ordinates of vertices are B(0, b) and B’ (0, -b),
i.e., B(0, 5) and B’ (0, -5)
We know that








Solution:
Let e be the eccentricity of a hyperbola


Question 5.
Find the equation of the hyperbola referred to its principal axes:

About Maharashtra State Board (MSBSHSE)
The Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education or MSBSHSE (Marathi: महाराष्ट्र राज्य माध्यमिक आणि उच्च माध्यमिक शिक्षण मंडळ), is an autonomous and statutory body established in 1965. The board was amended in the year 1977 under the provisions of the Maharashtra Act No. 41 of 1965.
The Maharashtra State Board of Secondary & Higher Secondary Education (MSBSHSE), Pune is an independent body of the Maharashtra Government. There are more than 1.4 million students that appear in the examination every year. The Maha State Board conducts the board examination twice a year. This board conducts the examination for SSC and HSC.
The Maharashtra government established the Maharashtra State Bureau of Textbook Production and Curriculum Research, also commonly referred to as Ebalbharati, in 1967 to take up the responsibility of providing quality textbooks to students from all classes studying under the Maharashtra State Board. MSBHSE prepares and updates the curriculum to provide holistic development for students. It is designed to tackle the difficulty in understanding the concepts with simple language with simple illustrations. Every year around 10 lakh students are enrolled in schools that are affiliated with the Maharashtra State Board.
