- ax/(x-2a)-(a-y).x/(x-2a+2y)=2y
ax/(x-2a)-2y=(a-y).x/(x-2a+2y)
(ax-2yx+4ay)/(x-2a)=(ax-yx)/(x-2a+2y)
(ax-2yx+4ay).(x-2a+2y)-(x-2a)(ax-yx)=0
(x-2a)(ax-2yx+4ay-ax+yx)+2y(ax-2yx+4ay)=0
(x-2a)(4ay-yx)+2y(ax-2yx+4ay)=0
(x-2a).y.(4a-x)+2y.(ax-2yx+4ay)=0
(4ax-x^2-8a^2+2ax).y+y.(2ax-4yx+8ay)=0
y(8ax-x^2-8a^2+8ay)=0
y(8a(x-a+y)-x^2)=0
8ay(x+y-a)=yx^2
a(x+y-a)=yx^2/8y
a(x+y-a)=x^2/8
a^2-ax-ay+x^2/8=0
a^2-a(x+y)+x^2/8=0
solving for a for 2nd degree equations.
a1=((x+y)+sqrt((x+y)^2-4.x^2/8))/2 or
a2=((x+y)-sqrt((x+y)^2-4.x^2/8))/2 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
