question:Let mathcal{R} be the region consisting of the set of points in the coordinate plane that satisfy both |8 minus{} x| plus{} y le 10 and 3y minus{} x ge 15 . When mathcal{R} is revolved around the line whose equation is 3y minus{} x equal{} 15 , the volume of the resulting solid is frac {mpi}{nsqrt {p}} , where m , n , and p are positive integers, m and n are relatively prime, and p is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find m plus{} n plus{} p .

answer:Alright, so I have this problem where I need to find the volume of a solid formed by revolving a region around a line. The region is defined by two inequalities: |8 - x| + y ≤ 10 and 3y - x ≥ 15. The line around which we're revolving is 3y - x = 15. The volume is supposed to be in the form mπ/(n√p), and I need to find m + n + p where m and n are coprime and p is square-free.First, I need to understand the region R. It's defined by two inequalities. Let me break them down.The first inequality is |8 - x| + y ≤ 10. This is an absolute value inequality, so it can be split into two cases: when 8 - x is positive and when it's negative.Case 1: 8 - x ≥ 0, which means x ≤ 8. Then, the inequality becomes (8 - x) + y ≤ 10, which simplifies to y ≤ x + 2.Case 2: 8 - x < 0, which means x > 8. Then, the inequality becomes -(8 - x) + y ≤ 10, which simplifies to y ≤ -x + 18.So, the first inequality represents two lines: y = x + 2 for x ≤ 8 and y = -x + 18 for x > 8. These are two lines forming a V-shape.The second inequality is 3y - x ≥ 15. Let me rewrite that as y ≥ (x + 15)/3 or y ≥ (1/3)x + 5. So, this is a straight line with a slope of 1/3 and y-intercept at 5. The region we're interested in is above this line.Now, I need to find the region R that satisfies both inequalities. So, it's the intersection of the region below the V-shaped lines and above the line y = (1/3)x + 5.To find the exact shape of R, I should find the points of intersection between these lines.First, let's find where y = x + 2 intersects with y = (1/3)x + 5.Set x + 2 = (1/3)x + 5.Multiply both sides by 3 to eliminate the fraction: 3x + 6 = x + 15.Subtract x from both sides: 2x + 6 = 15.Subtract 6: 2x = 9.Divide by 2: x = 4.5 or 9/2.Then, y = x + 2 = 4.5 + 2 = 6.5 or 13/2.So, one point of intersection is (9/2, 13/2).Next, find where y = -x + 18 intersects with y = (1/3)x + 5.Set -x + 18 = (1/3)x + 5.Multiply both sides by 3: -3x + 54 = x + 15.Add 3x to both sides: 54 = 4x + 15.Subtract 15: 39 = 4x.Divide by 4: x = 39/4 = 9.75.Then, y = (1/3)(39/4) + 5 = 13/4 + 20/4 = 33/4.So, the second point of intersection is (39/4, 33/4).Also, the two lines y = x + 2 and y = -x + 18 intersect each other at x = 8, y = 10.So, the region R is a polygon with vertices at (9/2, 13/2), (8, 10), and (39/4, 33/4).Now, I need to revolve this region around the line 3y - x = 15. To find the volume, I can use the method of cylindrical shells or the washer method. But since the axis of revolution is a slant line, it might be more complicated. Maybe I should use the method of Pappus, which states that the volume of a solid of revolution generated by rotating a plane figure about an external axis is equal to the product of the area of the figure and the distance traveled by its centroid.So, Volume = Area × (distance traveled by centroid).First, I need to find the area of region R. Since R is a triangle with vertices at (9/2, 13/2), (8, 10), and (39/4, 33/4), I can use the shoelace formula to find its area.Let me list the coordinates:A: (9/2, 13/2) = (4.5, 6.5)B: (8, 10)C: (39/4, 33/4) = (9.75, 8.25)Using shoelace formula:Area = 1/2 |(x1(y2 - y3) + x2(y3 - y1) + x3(y1 - y2))|Plugging in:x1 = 4.5, y1 = 6.5x2 = 8, y2 = 10x3 = 9.75, y3 = 8.25Compute each term:4.5*(10 - 8.25) = 4.5*(1.75) = 7.8758*(8.25 - 6.5) = 8*(1.75) = 149.75*(6.5 - 10) = 9.75*(-3.5) = -34.125Sum these: 7.875 + 14 - 34.125 = (7.875 + 14) - 34.125 = 21.875 - 34.125 = -12.25Take absolute value and multiply by 1/2: 1/2 * 12.25 = 6.125So, the area is 6.125, which is 49/8.Wait, 6.125 is 49/8? Let me check:49 divided by 8 is 6.125, yes. So, area is 49/8.Next, I need to find the centroid of the region R. The centroid (x̄, ȳ) of a triangle with vertices (x1, y1), (x2, y2), (x3, y3) is given by:x̄ = (x1 + x2 + x3)/3ȳ = (y1 + y2 + y3)/3So, let's compute x̄ and ȳ.x̄ = (4.5 + 8 + 9.75)/3 = (22.25)/3 ≈ 7.4167ȳ = (6.5 + 10 + 8.25)/3 = (24.75)/3 = 8.25So, the centroid is at approximately (7.4167, 8.25). But let's keep it exact.Convert all to fractions:4.5 = 9/2, 8 = 8/1, 9.75 = 39/4So, x̄ = (9/2 + 8 + 39/4)/3Convert all to quarters:9/2 = 18/4, 8 = 32/4, 39/4 = 39/4Sum: 18/4 + 32/4 + 39/4 = (18 + 32 + 39)/4 = 89/4Divide by 3: 89/12Similarly, y coordinates:6.5 = 13/2, 10 = 10/1, 8.25 = 33/4ȳ = (13/2 + 10 + 33/4)/3Convert to quarters:13/2 = 26/4, 10 = 40/4, 33/4 = 33/4Sum: 26/4 + 40/4 + 33/4 = 99/4Divide by 3: 99/12 = 33/4So, centroid is (89/12, 33/4).Now, I need to find the distance from this centroid to the line 3y - x = 15. This distance will be the radius of the circular path the centroid takes when revolved around the line. The distance traveled by the centroid is 2π times this distance.The formula for the distance from a point (x0, y0) to the line ax + by + c = 0 is |ax0 + by0 + c| / sqrt(a² + b²).First, write the line 3y - x = 15 in standard form: -x + 3y - 15 = 0. So, a = -1, b = 3, c = -15.Compute the distance:| -1*(89/12) + 3*(33/4) - 15 | / sqrt((-1)^2 + 3^2)Compute numerator:-89/12 + 99/4 - 15Convert all to twelfths:-89/12 + (99/4)*(3/3) = 297/12 - (15)*(12/12) = 180/12So, numerator:-89/12 + 297/12 - 180/12 = (-89 + 297 - 180)/12 = (297 - 269)/12 = 28/12 = 7/3So, absolute value is 7/3.Denominator: sqrt(1 + 9) = sqrt(10)So, distance is (7/3)/sqrt(10) = 7/(3√10)Therefore, the distance traveled by the centroid is 2π*(7/(3√10)) = 14π/(3√10)Now, the volume is Area * distance = (49/8) * (14π/(3√10)) = (49 * 14)/(8 * 3) * π/√10Compute 49*14: 49*14 = 686Denominator: 8*3 = 24So, 686/24 simplifies. Let's see:Divide numerator and denominator by 2: 343/12So, volume is (343/12) * π/√10 = 343π/(12√10)But the problem states the volume is mπ/(n√p). So, m = 343, n = 12, p = 10.Check if m and n are coprime: 343 is 7³, 12 is 2²*3. No common factors, so yes.p = 10, which factors into 2*5, neither of which is squared, so it's square-free.Thus, m + n + p = 343 + 12 + 10 = 365.**Final Answer**boxed{365}

question:Archaeologists have discovered through Archaeopteryx fossil specimens that the linear regression equation between its femur length x (cm) and humerus length y (cm) is hat y=1.197x-3.660. Based on this, estimate the humerus length when the femur length is 50 cm.

answer:First, identify the given linear regression equation: (hat{y} = 1.197x - 3.660).Next, substitute the femur length (x = 50) cm into the equation.Calculate the estimated humerus length:[hat{y} = 1.197 times 50 - 3.660 = 59.85 - 3.660 = 56.19]Therefore, the estimated humerus length is 56.19 cm.

question:A person wants to give his money of 12,000 to his 5 children a, b, c, d, and e in the ratio 2 : 4 : 3 : 1 : 5. What is the combined share of children d and e?

answer:First, I need to determine the total number of parts in the given ratio. The ratio is 2:4:3:1:5, which adds up to 15 parts.Next, I'll calculate the value of one part by dividing the total amount of money, 12,000, by the total number of parts, 15. This gives me 800 per part.Now, I'll find the individual shares for children d and e. Child d receives 1 part, which is 800, and child e receives 5 parts, which is 4,000.Finally, I'll add the shares of children d and e together to find their combined share: 800 + 4,000 equals 4,800.

question:It takes Roque a certain amount of time to walk to work and one hour to ride his bike to work. Roque walks to and from work three times a week and rides his bike to and from work twice a week. He takes a total of 16 hours to get to and from work a week with walking and biking. How many hours does it take Roque to walk to work?

answer:First, I need to determine the time it takes Roque to walk to work, denoted as ( W ) hours. It is given that biking to work takes 1 hour.Roque walks to and from work 3 times a week. Each round trip by walking takes ( 2W ) hours, so the total walking time is ( 3 times 2W = 6W ) hours.He bikes to and from work 2 times a week. Each round trip by biking takes ( 2 times 1 = 2 ) hours, so the total biking time is ( 2 times 2 = 4 ) hours.The total commuting time for the week is 16 hours. Therefore, the equation is:[6W + 4 = 16]Solving for ( W ):[6W = 16 - 4][6W = 12][W = frac{12}{6} = 2]Thus, it takes Roque 2 hours to walk to work.

question:Let a,b,c be real numbers with a non-zero. It is known that the real numbers x_1,x_2,ldots,x_n satisfy the n equations:[ ax_1^2+bx_1+c = x_{2} ][ ax_2^2+bx_2 +c = x_3][ ldots quad ldots quad ldots quad ldots][ ax_n^2+bx_n+c = x_1 ] Prove that the system has **zero**, <u>one</u> or *more than one* real solutions if (b-1)^2-4ac is **negative**, equal to <u>zero</u> or *positive* respectively.

answer:Okay, so I have this problem where I need to analyze a system of equations involving quadratic terms. Let me try to understand what's going on here.We have real numbers ( a, b, c ) with ( a ) being non-zero. Then there are real numbers ( x_1, x_2, ldots, x_n ) that satisfy a set of equations:[ax_1^2 + bx_1 + c = x_2][ax_2^2 + bx_2 + c = x_3][vdots][ax_n^2 + bx_n + c = x_1]So, each ( x_{i+1} ) is defined in terms of ( x_i ) through this quadratic function. And the last equation wraps around to ( x_1 ). It seems like a cyclic system where each variable depends on the previous one through the same quadratic function.The problem asks me to prove that the system has zero, one, or more than one real solution depending on whether the discriminant ( (b-1)^2 - 4ac ) is negative, zero, or positive, respectively.Hmm, okay. So, this discriminant is similar to the one in the quadratic formula, but here it's ( (b-1)^2 - 4ac ) instead of ( b^2 - 4ac ). I wonder why it's ( (b-1) ) instead of just ( b ). Maybe because of the way the equations are set up?Let me think. If I consider each equation ( ax_i^2 + bx_i + c = x_{i+1} ), and then think about the system as a whole, maybe I can find a relationship that ties all the ( x_i ) together.Suppose all the ( x_i ) are equal. Let's say ( x_1 = x_2 = ldots = x_n = k ). Then each equation becomes:[ak^2 + bk + c = k]Which simplifies to:[ak^2 + (b - 1)k + c = 0]So, this is a quadratic equation in ( k ). The discriminant of this equation is ( (b - 1)^2 - 4ac ), which is exactly the discriminant mentioned in the problem. Interesting.So, if all ( x_i ) are equal, they must satisfy this quadratic equation. The number of real solutions to this equation depends on the discriminant. If the discriminant is negative, there are no real solutions; if it's zero, there's exactly one real solution; and if it's positive, there are two real solutions.But wait, the problem is about the entire system, not just the case where all ( x_i ) are equal. So, I need to consider whether there are solutions where the ( x_i ) are not all equal.Let me think about the system more carefully. Each ( x_{i+1} ) is determined by ( x_i ) through the quadratic function ( f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c ). So, starting from ( x_1 ), we can generate ( x_2, x_3, ldots, x_n ), and then ( x_1 ) is determined by ( x_n ). So, essentially, we're looking for a cycle of length ( n ) in the function ( f ).But since the system is cyclic, it's equivalent to finding a fixed point of the function ( f^n ), where ( f^n ) is the ( n )-th iterate of ( f ). That is, ( f^n(x) = x ).However, analyzing the iterates of a quadratic function can get complicated, especially for arbitrary ( n ). Maybe there's a simpler approach.Let me consider the case where all ( x_i ) are equal first, as I did before. If all ( x_i = k ), then ( k ) must satisfy ( ak^2 + (b - 1)k + c = 0 ). So, the number of real solutions in this case is directly tied to the discriminant.But what if the ( x_i ) are not all equal? Could there be solutions where the ( x_i ) cycle through different values?For example, suppose ( n = 2 ). Then we have:[ax_1^2 + bx_1 + c = x_2][ax_2^2 + bx_2 + c = x_1]Substituting the first equation into the second, we get:[a(ax_1^2 + bx_1 + c)^2 + b(ax_1^2 + bx_1 + c) + c = x_1]This would result in a quartic equation in ( x_1 ). The number of real solutions could be more than two, depending on the discriminant of the original quadratic.But in the problem statement, it's not specifying ( n ); it's general for any ( n ). So, maybe the key is to realize that regardless of ( n ), the number of solutions is determined by the fixed points of the function ( f ), which is governed by the discriminant.Wait, but if ( n ) is arbitrary, the system could have more solutions depending on ( n ). However, the problem is stating that the number of real solutions is zero, one, or more than one based on the discriminant. So, perhaps the discriminant of the quadratic equation ( ak^2 + (b - 1)k + c = 0 ) determines the number of fixed points, and hence the number of solutions to the entire system.But I need to make sure that if there are fixed points, they are the only solutions. Or, if there are cycles of longer periods, they could also be solutions.However, the problem is not asking about the number of fixed points, but the number of real solutions to the entire system. So, if the discriminant is negative, there are no real fixed points, and hence no real solutions to the system. If the discriminant is zero, there's exactly one real fixed point, so the system has one real solution. If the discriminant is positive, there are two real fixed points, so the system has more than one real solution.But wait, could there be solutions where the ( x_i ) are not fixed points? For example, in the case ( n = 2 ), could there be solutions where ( x_1 neq x_2 ), but they cycle between each other?In that case, even if the discriminant is positive, giving two fixed points, there could be additional solutions where ( x_1 ) and ( x_2 ) are different but satisfy the system.But the problem is stating that the number of real solutions depends on the discriminant, not necessarily the number of fixed points. So, perhaps the discriminant being positive allows for more solutions beyond just the fixed points.Alternatively, maybe the system can only have solutions where all ( x_i ) are equal, in which case the number of solutions is determined by the discriminant.But I need to verify this.Suppose ( n = 1 ). Then the system reduces to ( ax_1^2 + bx_1 + c = x_1 ), which is ( ax_1^2 + (b - 1)x_1 + c = 0 ). So, the number of solutions is directly given by the discriminant.For ( n = 2 ), as I mentioned before, substituting gives a quartic equation. The number of real solutions could be up to four, but depending on the discriminant, it might have two real solutions (the fixed points) and possibly more.But the problem is general for any ( n ). So, maybe the key is that regardless of ( n ), the system can only have solutions where all ( x_i ) are equal, hence the number of solutions is tied to the discriminant.Alternatively, if ( n ) is greater than 1, there could be more solutions where the ( x_i ) cycle through different values, but the problem is only concerned with the existence of solutions, not their number beyond zero, one, or more than one.Wait, the problem says "the system has zero, one, or more than one real solutions if ( (b-1)^2 - 4ac ) is negative, equal to zero, or positive respectively."So, it's not saying that the number of solutions is exactly zero, one, or two, but rather that it's zero, one, or more than one. So, if the discriminant is positive, there are at least two solutions, possibly more.But how does that relate to the system?Let me think differently. Suppose I consider the function ( f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c ). Then the system can be written as:[x_2 = f(x_1)][x_3 = f(x_2)][vdots][x_1 = f(x_n)]So, composing ( f ) ( n ) times, we get ( x_1 = f^n(x_1) ). Therefore, the solutions to the system correspond to the fixed points of ( f^n ).Now, the fixed points of ( f^n ) include the fixed points of ( f ), but also periodic points of period dividing ( n ). So, for example, if ( n = 2 ), ( f^2 ) could have fixed points that are either fixed points of ( f ) or points of period 2.However, the problem is not asking about the number of fixed points of ( f^n ), but rather the number of real solutions to the system, which are the fixed points of ( f^n ).But the discriminant ( (b - 1)^2 - 4ac ) is related to the fixed points of ( f ), not necessarily ( f^n ). So, perhaps the number of fixed points of ( f ) affects the number of solutions to the system.If ( f ) has no fixed points (discriminant negative), then ( f^n ) also has no fixed points, so the system has no solutions.If ( f ) has exactly one fixed point (discriminant zero), then ( f^n ) has at least that fixed point, but could have more. However, since ( f ) is quadratic, ( f^n ) is a polynomial of degree ( 2^n ), which could have up to ( 2^n ) fixed points. But the problem is saying that if the discriminant is zero, the system has exactly one solution. That seems contradictory unless all solutions are forced to be the fixed point.Wait, maybe not. If ( f ) has a single fixed point, then ( f^n ) could have that fixed point as a solution, but could also have other solutions where the ( x_i ) cycle through different values but still satisfy ( x_1 = f^n(x_1) ).But the problem is stating that if the discriminant is zero, the system has exactly one solution. So, perhaps in this case, the only solution is the fixed point, and there are no other solutions.Similarly, if the discriminant is positive, there are two fixed points, and possibly more solutions where the ( x_i ) cycle through different values.But the problem is saying that if the discriminant is positive, the system has more than one solution. So, it's not specifying exactly two, but more than one.Wait, but if the discriminant is positive, there are two fixed points, so the system has at least two solutions. Depending on ( n ), there could be more, but the problem is only categorizing it as more than one.So, putting it all together:- If ( (b - 1)^2 - 4ac < 0 ), there are no real fixed points, so the system has no real solutions.- If ( (b - 1)^2 - 4ac = 0 ), there is exactly one real fixed point, so the system has exactly one real solution.- If ( (b - 1)^2 - 4ac > 0 ), there are two real fixed points, so the system has at least two real solutions, hence more than one.Therefore, the number of real solutions to the system is determined by the discriminant of the quadratic equation ( ax^2 + (b - 1)x + c = 0 ).I think that's the reasoning. The key is recognizing that the system's solutions correspond to fixed points of the function ( f ), and the discriminant of the quadratic equation governing these fixed points determines the number of solutions.

question:Given the hyperbola C:frac{x^2}{a^2}-frac{y^2}{b^2}=1(a>0,b>0) with left and right foci F_{1} and F_{2} (where |F_{1}F_{2}|=2c), left vertex A, and origin O. Let the circle with diameter F_{1}F_{2} intersecting the asymptotes of C in the first quadrant at point M. If the inradius of triangle AOM is frac{ab}{3c}, then the eccentricity of C is ( ).A: frac{2+sqrt{10}}{3}B: frac{1+sqrt{10}}{3}C: frac{2+sqrt{5}}{3}D: frac{3+sqrt{3}}{3}

answer:Alright, so I've got this hyperbola problem here, and I need to find its eccentricity. Let me try to break it down step by step.First, the hyperbola is given by the equation ( frac{x^2}{a^2} - frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1 ), where ( a > 0 ) and ( b > 0 ). The foci of this hyperbola are ( F_1 ) and ( F_2 ), with the distance between them being ( 2c ). I remember that for hyperbolas, ( c^2 = a^2 + b^2 ), so ( c ) is related to both ( a ) and ( b ). The eccentricity ( e ) is defined as ( e = frac{c}{a} ), which is what we're trying to find.The problem mentions the left vertex ( A ), which should be at ( (-a, 0) ), and the origin ( O ) at ( (0, 0) ). There's also a circle with diameter ( F_1F_2 ). Since the foci are located at ( (-c, 0) ) and ( (c, 0) ), the circle with diameter ( F_1F_2 ) should have its center at the origin and a radius of ( c ). So, the equation of this circle is ( x^2 + y^2 = c^2 ).Next, the circle intersects the asymptotes of the hyperbola in the first quadrant at point ( M ). The asymptotes of the hyperbola ( frac{x^2}{a^2} - frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1 ) are given by ( y = pm frac{b}{a}x ). Since we're looking for the intersection in the first quadrant, we'll consider the positive slope asymptote ( y = frac{b}{a}x ).To find the coordinates of point ( M ), I need to solve the system of equations:1. ( y = frac{b}{a}x )2. ( x^2 + y^2 = c^2 )Substituting equation 1 into equation 2:( x^2 + left( frac{b}{a}x right)^2 = c^2 )Simplify:( x^2 + frac{b^2}{a^2}x^2 = c^2 )Factor out ( x^2 ):( x^2 left( 1 + frac{b^2}{a^2} right) = c^2 )Combine the terms:( x^2 left( frac{a^2 + b^2}{a^2} right) = c^2 )But since ( c^2 = a^2 + b^2 ), substitute that in:( x^2 left( frac{c^2}{a^2} right) = c^2 )Multiply both sides by ( frac{a^2}{c^2} ):( x^2 = a^2 )So, ( x = a ) (since we're in the first quadrant, we take the positive root). Then, ( y = frac{b}{a} times a = b ). Therefore, point ( M ) is at ( (a, b) ).Now, we have triangle ( AOM ) with vertices at ( A(-a, 0) ), ( O(0, 0) ), and ( M(a, b) ). The problem states that the inradius of this triangle is ( frac{ab}{3c} ). I need to use this information to find the eccentricity ( e ).First, let's recall that the inradius ( r ) of a triangle is related to its area ( Delta ) and semi-perimeter ( s ) by the formula:( r = frac{Delta}{s} )So, I need to find the area of triangle ( AOM ) and its semi-perimeter.Let's compute the lengths of the sides of triangle ( AOM ):1. ( |AO| ): Distance from ( A(-a, 0) ) to ( O(0, 0) ) is ( a ).2. ( |OM| ): Distance from ( O(0, 0) ) to ( M(a, b) ) is ( sqrt{a^2 + b^2} = c ).3. ( |AM| ): Distance from ( A(-a, 0) ) to ( M(a, b) ). Using the distance formula:( |AM| = sqrt{(a - (-a))^2 + (b - 0)^2} = sqrt{(2a)^2 + b^2} = sqrt{4a^2 + b^2} )So, the sides of triangle ( AOM ) are ( a ), ( c ), and ( sqrt{4a^2 + b^2} ).Next, let's compute the semi-perimeter ( s ):( s = frac{a + c + sqrt{4a^2 + b^2}}{2} )Now, the area ( Delta ) of triangle ( AOM ). Since the coordinates of the vertices are known, I can use the shoelace formula or calculate the area using base and height. Alternatively, since it's a triangle with coordinates, I can use the determinant method.Using the determinant method:( Delta = frac{1}{2} |x_A(y_O - y_M) + x_O(y_M - y_A) + x_M(y_A - y_O)| )Plugging in the coordinates:( Delta = frac{1}{2} |(-a)(0 - b) + 0(b - 0) + a(0 - 0)| )Simplify:( Delta = frac{1}{2} |ab + 0 + 0| = frac{1}{2} ab )So, the area of triangle ( AOM ) is ( frac{1}{2} ab ).Given that the inradius ( r = frac{ab}{3c} ), we can set up the equation:( frac{ab}{3c} = frac{Delta}{s} = frac{frac{1}{2} ab}{frac{a + c + sqrt{4a^2 + b^2}}{2}} )Simplify the right side:( frac{frac{1}{2} ab}{frac{a + c + sqrt{4a^2 + b^2}}{2}} = frac{ab}{a + c + sqrt{4a^2 + b^2}} )So, we have:( frac{ab}{3c} = frac{ab}{a + c + sqrt{4a^2 + b^2}} )Since ( ab ) is non-zero, we can divide both sides by ( ab ):( frac{1}{3c} = frac{1}{a + c + sqrt{4a^2 + b^2}} )Taking reciprocals:( 3c = a + c + sqrt{4a^2 + b^2} )Subtract ( a + c ) from both sides:( 2c - a = sqrt{4a^2 + b^2} )Now, square both sides to eliminate the square root:( (2c - a)^2 = 4a^2 + b^2 )Expand the left side:( 4c^2 - 4ac + a^2 = 4a^2 + b^2 )Bring all terms to one side:( 4c^2 - 4ac + a^2 - 4a^2 - b^2 = 0 )Simplify:( 4c^2 - 4ac - 3a^2 - b^2 = 0 )But we know from the hyperbola relationship that ( c^2 = a^2 + b^2 ). Let's substitute ( b^2 = c^2 - a^2 ) into the equation:( 4c^2 - 4ac - 3a^2 - (c^2 - a^2) = 0 )Simplify:( 4c^2 - 4ac - 3a^2 - c^2 + a^2 = 0 )Combine like terms:( 3c^2 - 4ac - 2a^2 = 0 )This is a quadratic equation in terms of ( c ). Let's divide both sides by ( a^2 ) to make it in terms of ( e = frac{c}{a} ):( 3left( frac{c}{a} right)^2 - 4left( frac{c}{a} right) - 2 = 0 )Let ( e = frac{c}{a} ), so:( 3e^2 - 4e - 2 = 0 )Now, solve for ( e ) using the quadratic formula:( e = frac{4 pm sqrt{(-4)^2 - 4 times 3 times (-2)}}{2 times 3} )Simplify under the square root:( sqrt{16 + 24} = sqrt{40} = 2sqrt{10} )So,( e = frac{4 pm 2sqrt{10}}{6} = frac{2 pm sqrt{10}}{3} )Since eccentricity ( e ) must be greater than 1 for a hyperbola, we discard the negative root:( e = frac{2 + sqrt{10}}{3} )So, the eccentricity of the hyperbola is ( frac{2 + sqrt{10}}{3} ), which corresponds to option A.**Final Answer**boxed{A}
