Question

What are the points of intersection of the curve $$4{x^2} - 9{y^2} = 1$$   with its conjugate axis ?

A. $$\left( {\frac{1}{2},\,0} \right){\text{ and }}\left( { - \frac{1}{2},\,0} \right)$$
B. $$\left( {0,\,2} \right){\text{ and }}\left( {0,\, - 2} \right)$$
C. $$\left( {0,\,3} \right){\text{ and }}\left( {0,\, - 3} \right)$$
D. No such point exists  
Answer :   No such point exists
Solution :
The given equation of curve is
$$\eqalign{ & 4{x^2} - 9{y^2} = 1 \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{{{x^2}}}{{\frac{1}{4}}} - \frac{{{y^2}}}{{\frac{1}{9}}} = 1 \cr} $$
This is an equation of a hyperbola which does not intersect with conjugate axes.
Hence, no point of intersection exists.

Each of the four inequalities given below defines a region in the $$xy$$  plane. One of these four regions does not have the following property. For any two points $$\left( {{x_1},\,{y_1}} \right)$$  and $$\left( {{x_2},\,{y_2}} \right)$$  in the the region, the point $$\left( {\frac{{{x_1} + {x_2}}}{2},\,\frac{{{y_1} + {y_2}}}{2}} \right)$$    is also in the region. The inequality defining this region is :

A. $${x^2} + 2{y^2} \leqslant 1$$
B. $${\text{max }}\left\{ {\left| x \right|,\left| y \right|} \right\} \leqslant 1$$
C. $${x^2} - {y^2} \leqslant 1$$
D. $${y^2} - {x^2} \leqslant 0$$
