Δ ≠ 0
| 1 -λ -1 |
| λ -1 -1 | ≠ 0
| 1 -1 |
1 (1+λ) + λ (-λ+1) - 1 (λ+1) ≠ 0
1 + λ - λ² + λ - λ - 1 ≠ 0
-λ² + λ ≠ 0
λ² = 1 ⇒ λ = 1, -1
a² + b² = 2

Let five terms in G.P. be a/r², a/r, a, ar, ar²
Then, a (r? ² + r? ¹ + 1 + r + r²) / (1/a) (r? ² + r? ¹ + 1 + r? ¹ + r? ²) = 49
⇒ a² = 49 ⇒ a = ±7
Also, a/r² + a = 35
Therefore, a = -7 is not possible
Now, fifth term = ar² = a (7/28) = p ⇒ 4p = 7

The equation of the circle is x²+y²+ax+2ay+c=0, with a<0.
x-intercept = 2√ (g² - c) = 2√ (a/2)² - c) = 2√2. So, a²/4 - c = 2 => a² = 8 + 4c - (i)
y-intercept = 2√ (f² - c) = 2√ (a² - c) = 2√5. So, a² - c = 5 => a² = 5 + c - (ii)
Equating (i) and (ii): 8 + 4c = 5 + c => 3c = -3 => c = -1.
Substituting c in (ii): a² = 5 - 1 = 4. Since a < 0, a = -2.
The equation of the circle is x² + y² - 2x - 4y - 1 = 0.
Completing the square: (x-1)² + (y-2)² = 1+4+1 = 6.
The center is (1,2) and radius is √6.
The tangent is perpendicular to the line x + 2y = 0 (slope -1/2).
So, the slope of the tangent is 2.
Equation of the tangent: (y-2) = 2 (x-1)

A relation R is defined as ARB if PAP? ¹ = B for a non-singular matrix P.
· Reflexive: ARA requires PAP? ¹ = A. This holds if P is the identity matrix I, as IAI? ¹ = A. Assuming P can be I, the relation is reflexive.
· Symmetric: We need to show that if ARB, then BRA.
ARB ⇒ PAP? ¹ = B.
To get the reverse, we need to express A in terms of B.
From PAP? ¹ = B, pre-multiply by P? ¹ and post-multiply by P:
P? ¹ (PAP? ¹)P = P? ¹BP ⇒ A = P? ¹BP. This shows BRA where the matrix is P? ¹. Thus, the relation is symmetric.
