Case study 4:- Read the following and answer the question:(Case study application of derivative 4 )

These days chinese and Indian troops are engaged in aggressive melee,face-off skirmishes at location near the disputed Pangong Lake in Ladakh.

One day a helicopterof enemy is flying along the curve represented by y = x² + 7. A soldier placed at (3, 7) wants to shoot down the helicopter when it is nearest to him.

(i) If $(x_1, y_1)$ represents the position of helicopter on the curve y = x² +7, when the distance D from soldier placed at S(3, 7) is minimum, then the relation between $x_1,y_1$ is

(a) $x_1 = y_1^2 + 7$ (b) $y_1 = x_1^2 + 7$

(ii) The distance ‘D’ expressed as a function of $x_1$ is

(a) $D=x_1^2-6x_1 + x_1^4$ (b) $D = x_1^2-6x_1+9+x_1^4$

(iii) The soldier at S wants to know when the enemy helicopter is nesrest to soldier, then the value $y_1$ should be

(a) 4 (b) 3

(iv) When the enemy helicopter is nearest to soldier, then the value of D should be

(a) 4 units (b) 5 units

(v) The narest position of helicopter from soldier is

(a) (1, √3) (b) (1, 8)

Solution:(i) Answer (a)

Since, $(x_1, y_1)$ lie on the curve y = x² + 7

⇒ $(x_1, y_1)$ satisfy the equation of curve

⇒ $y_1 = x_1^2 + 7$

(ii) Answer (c)

Here, since soldier is at (3, 7).

$D = \sqrt{(x_1-3)^2+(y_1-7)^2}$

$\Rightarrow D^2 = (x_1-3)^2+(y_1-7)^2$

Since, $(x_1, y_1)$ lie on the curve y =x² + 7

⇒ $y_1 = x_1^2+7$

$\therefore D^2 = (x_1-3)^2+(y_1+7-7)^2$

$D^2 = x_1^2-6x_1+9+x_1^4$

(iii) Answer (c)

We have ,

$D^2 = x_1^2-6x_1+9+x_1^4$

∴ $\frac{dD^2}{dx_1} = 2x_1-6+4x_1^3$

For minimum value of D i.e. D²

$\frac{dD^2}{dx_1} = 0 \Rightarrow 2x_1+4x_1^3-6=0$

$4x_1^2(x_1-1)+4x_1(x_1-1)+6(x_1-1)=0$

$\Rightarrow (x_1-1)(4x_1^2+4x_1+6)=0$

$\Rightarrow x_1-1=0$

[Since $4x_1^2+4x_1+6=0$ have no real roots i.e.real value of $x_1$ is not possible.]

$\Rightarrow x_1 = 1$

⇒ For minimum points,(distance) or nearest distance $x_1 = 1$

Also

$\frac{d^2D^2}{dx_1^2}= 2+12x_1^2$

$\Rightarrow \frac{d^2D^2}{dx_1^2} = +(ve)$

Since,(x_1, y_1) lie on the curve y = x² + 7

⇒ $y_1 = x_1^2 + 7$

$\Rightarrow y_1 = 1^2 + 7= 1+7 = 8$

(iv)Answer (c)

For nearest distance D i.e. minimum value of D, $x_1 = 1$

Since, $D^2 = x_1^2-6x_1+9+x_1^4$

$\Rightarrow = 1^2- 6(1)+9+(1)^4$

$\Rightarrow D^2 =1-6+9+1$

$\Rightarrow D^2 =5$

$\Rightarrow D = \sqrt{5}$

(v) Answer (b)

For minimum value of D

$x_1 = 1$ and $y_1 = 8$

∴ Nearest position of helicopter is (1, 8).
