Basics & Logarithms — JEE Maths practice question

JEE Maths question with a full step-by-step solution.

Question
If (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) and (x2,y2)(x_2, y_2) are all possible solutions of the system x2+y2+6x+2y=0x^2 + y^2 + 6x + 2y = 0 and x+y+8=0x + y + 8 = 0, then x12+x22+y12+y22x_1^2 + x_2^2 + y_1^2 + y_2^2 is equal to:
A6868
B3232
C3838
D7272correct
Solution
Step 1: Substitute the linear relation From x+y+8=0x+y+8 = 0, y=8xy = -8-x. Substituting into the first equation:
x2+(8x)2+6x+2(8x)=0x^2 + (-8-x)^2 + 6x + 2(-8-x) = 0
Step 2: Simplify to a quadratic in xx
2x2+20x+48=0    x2+10x+24=0    (x+4)(x+6)=02x^2 + 20x + 48 = 0 \implies x^2 + 10x + 24 = 0 \implies (x+4)(x+6) = 0
x=4    y=4,x=6    y=2x = -4 \implies y = -4, \qquad x = -6 \implies y = -2
Step 3: Evaluate the required sum
x12+x22+y12+y22=(4)2+(6)2+(4)2+(2)2=16+36+16+4=72x_1^2 + x_2^2 + y_1^2 + y_2^2 = (-4)^2 + (-6)^2 + (-4)^2 + (-2)^2 = 16+36+16+4 = 72
