Application +4 | -1
A point moves in such a way that the sum of square of its distance from the points A(2,0)A(2,0) and B(−2,0)B(-2,0) is always equal to the square of the distance between AA and BB. The locus of the point is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
x2+y2−4=0x^{2}+y^{2}-4=0
Option D (x2+y2−4=0x^{2}+y^{2}-4=0) is correct because the sum of the squares of the distances from (x,y)(x,y) to (2,0)(2,0) and (−2,0)(-2,0) being equal to the square of the distance between (2,0)(2,0) and (−2,0)(-2,0) leads to the equation (x−2)2+y2+(x+2)2+y2=16(x-2)^2 + y^2 + (x+2)^2 + y^2 = 16, which simplifies to x2+y2=4x^{2}+y^{2}=4 or x2+y2−4=0x^{2}+y^{2}-4=0.
