There are at least three values of k for which, the point (k,1) lies on conic

ax^2 + 2hxy + by^2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0

State true or false and Justify

 

Substituting for the point (k,1) into the conic, we get
ak^2 + 2hk  + b + 2gk + 2f + c = 0
ak^2 + (2h + 2g)k + (b + 2f + c) = 0


The above equation is a quadratic in k, and as such can have at most only two real solutions.


Therefore, the statement is false.
