Question:

Step 1: Formulate the reflection conditions Let $(x, y)$ be a point on the graph $xy=1$. Let $(x', y')$ be its reflection across the line $y=2x$. For reflection, two conditions must be satisfied: 1. The midpoint of the segment joining $(x,y)$ and $(x',y')$ must lie on the line $y=2x$. The midpoint is $\left(\frac{x+x'}{2}, \frac{y+y'}{2}\right)$. Substituting these coordinates into the line equation $y=2x$: $$ \frac{y+y'}{2} = 2\left(\frac{x+x'}{2}\right) $$ $$ y+y' = 2(x+x') \quad \text{(Equation 1)} $$ 2. The line segment joining $(x,y)$ and $(x',y')$ must be perpendicular to the line $y=2x$. The slope of the line $y=2x$ is $m_1 = 2$. The slope of the segment joining $(x,y)$ and $(x',y')$ is $m_2 = \frac{y'-y}{x'-x}$. For perpendicular lines, the product of their slopes is $-1$: $$ 2 \left(\frac{y'-y}{x'-x}\right) = -1 $$ $$ 2(y'-y) = -(x'-x) $$ $$ 2y' - 2y = -x' + x \quad \text{(Equation 2)} $$ Step 2: Express original coordinates in terms of reflected coordinates We need to solve Equation 1 and Equation 2 for $x$ and $y$ in terms of $x'$ and $y'$. From Equation 1, we can write $y$ in terms of $x, x', y'$: $$ y = 2x + 2x' - y' $$ Substitute this expression for $y$ into Equation 2: $$ 2y' - 2(2x + 2x' - y') = -x' + x $$ $$ 2y' - 4x - 4x' + 2y' = -x' + x $$ Combine like terms and rearrange to solve for $x$: $$ 4y' - 4x' + x' = x + 4x $$ $$ 4y' - 3x' = 5x $$ $$ x = \frac{4y' - 3x'}{5} $$ Now, substitute this expression for $x$ back into Equation 1 to find $y$: $$ y+y' = 2\left(\frac{4y' - 3x'}{5}\right) + 2x' $$ $$ y+y' = \frac{8y' - 6x'}{5} + \frac{10x'}{5} $$ $$ y+y' = \frac{4x' + 8y'}{5} $$ $$ y = \frac{4x' + 8y'}{5} - y' $$ $$ y = \frac{4x' + 8y' - 5y'}{5} $$ $$ y = \frac{4x' + 3y'}{5} $$ So, the original coordinates $(x,y)$ in terms of the reflected coordinates $(x',y')$ are: $$ x = \frac{4y' - 3x'}{5} \quad \text{and} \quad y = \frac{4x' + 3y'}{5} $$ Step 3: Substitute into the original equation The original graph is given by the equation $xy=1$. Substitute the expressions for $x$ and $y$ derived in Step 2: $$ \left(\frac{4y' - 3x'}{5}\right) \left(\frac{4x' + 3y'}{5}\right) = 1 $$ Multiply both sides by $5 \times 5 = 25$: $$ (4y' - 3x')(4x' + 3y') = 25 $$ Expand the product on the left side: $$ (4y')(4x') + (4y')(3y') - (3x')(4x') - (3x')(3y') = 25 $$ $$ 16x'y' + 12y'^2 - 12x'^2 - 9x'y' = 25 $$ Combine like terms: $$ -12x'^2 + (16-9)x'y' + 12y'^2 = 25 $$ $$ -12x'^2 + 7x'y' + 12y'^2 = 25 $$ Rearrange the terms to match the standard form $Ax^2+Bxy+Cy^2+D=0$ and move the constant to the left side. It's conventional for the $x^2$ coefficient to be positive, so we multiply by $-1$: $$ 12x'^2 - 7x'y' - 12y'^2 + 25 = 0 $$ Replacing $(x', y')$ with $(x, y)$ for the new graph's equation: $$ 12x^2 - 7xy - 12y^2 + 25 = 0 $$ Step 4: Identify coefficients and verify the option The reflected graph is given in the form $12x^2 + rxy + sy^2 + t = 0$. Comparing our derived equation $12x^2 - 7xy - 12y^2 + 25 = 0$ with the given form, we can identify the coefficients: $$ r = -7 $$ $$ s = -12 $$ $$ t = 25 $$ Now, let's check the given options: Option 1: $r = 1, s = 12, t = 25$ (Incorrect) Option 2: $r = -1, s = 12, t = 1$ (Incorrect) Option 3: $r = -7, s = -12, t = 25$ (Correct, matches all values) Option 4: $r + s = -19$ Using our derived values $r=-7$ and $s=-12$: $r+s = -7 + (-12) = -19$. (Correct) Since both Option 3 and Option 4 are correct based on our derived coefficients, and the provided correct answer is D, we choose Option D as it represents a specific relation derived from the coefficients. The final answer is $\boxed{\text{D}}$.
