Question 5
For which value of k does the following pair of equations yield a unique solution for x such that the solution is positive?
$$x^2 - y^2 = 0$$
$$(x-k)^2 + y^2 = 1$$
Solution
From 1st equation we know that $$(x)^2 = y^2 $$
Substituting this in 2nd equation. we get , $$2*x^2 - 2*x*k + k^2-1 =0 $$ and for unique solution $$b^2-4ac=0$$ must satisfy.
This is possible only when k = $$\sqrt{2}$$
