    Question

    If, 4x2 + y2 + 12x + 6y + 18 =

    0, then find the value of (2x + y)/(y + 6x).
    A 0.5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B -0.5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C -2.5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D -1.5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    4x2 + y2 + 12x + 6y + 18 = 0

    Or, 4x2 + 12x + 9 + y2 + 6y + 9 = 0

    Or, (2x) 2 + 2 X (2x) X (3) + 32 + y2 + 2 X y X 3 + 32 = 0

    Or, (2x + 3) 2 + (y + 3) 2 = 0 [because, (a + b) 2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab]

    The above equation is possible, when,

    2x + 3 = 0 and y + 3 = 0

    Or, x = - (3/2) = - 1.5 or, y = - 3

    So, (2x + y)/(y + 6x) = -6/-12 = 0.5
