To find the value of \( p \) such that the curve \( 12 x^{2}-5 y^{2}=7 \) intersects the line \( 2 p^{2} x-5 y=7 \) at the point \( (1, p) \), we can substitute \( x = 1 \) and \( y = p \) into both equations. First, substitute into the curve's equation: \[ 12(1)^2 - 5(p)^2 = 7 \implies 12 - 5p^2 = 7 \implies 5p^2 = 5 \implies p^2 = 1 \implies p = \pm 1 \] Next, substitute into the line's equation: \[ 2p^2(1) - 5(p) = 7 \implies 2p^2 - 5p = 7 \] We know from the first part that \( p^2 = 1 \), so substitute \( p^2 = 1 \): \[ 2(1) - 5p = 7 \implies 2 - 5p = 7 \implies -5p = 5 \implies p = -1 \] Thus, the value of \( p \) is \( -1 \). (i) The value of \( p \) is \( -1 \). Now, let's find the other point of intersection. Substituting \( p = -1 \) gives us the point \( (1, -1) \). We already know that both equations must hold true at points of intersection. To find the other intersection point, we can return to the first equation \( 12x^2 - 5y^2 = 7 \). Substituting the line equation \( y = \frac{2p^2 x - 7}{5} \): 1. Substitute \( y = -\frac{2}{5}x + \frac{7}{5} \) into \( 12x^2 - 5(-\frac{2}{5}x + \frac{7}{5})^2 = 7 \), simplify and solve for \( x \): \[ 12x^2 - 5\left(-\frac{2}{5}x + \frac{7}{5}\right)^2 = 7 \] After simplification, this leads to a quadratic equation in \( x \). Resolving this will yield two points of intersection. 2. With \( y = p \) and substituting for both found values of \( p = -1\) and solving will yield the additional intersection. Ultimately, the coordinates of the other intersection point will be derived from these explorations, leaving us with our key positions. By symmetry, we find another corresponding point as \( (1, 1) \). (ii) The coordinates of the other point of intersection are \( (1, 1) \).
