A Correct answer
Explanation

The expression sqrt(-x)^2 is defined for x <= 0 and equals -x. The inequality is x^2 - 2(-x) - 3 < 0 => x^2 + 2x - 3 < 0 => (x+3)(x-1) < 0. Since x <= 0, the interval is [-3, 0]. The midpoint is (-3+0)/2 = -3/2.

A tangent to the circle $x^{2}+y^{2}=a^{2}$ meets the axes at points A and B. The locus of the mid point of AB is 

  1. $\frac{1}{x^{2}}+\frac{1}{y^{2}}=\frac{1}{a^{2}}$
  2. $\frac{1}{x^{2}}+\frac{1}{y^{2}}=\frac{4}{a^{2}}$
  3. $\frac{1}{x^{2}}+\frac{1}{y^{2}}=4a^{2}$
  4. $\frac{1}{x^{2}}+\frac{1}{y^{2}}=\frac{a^{2}}{4}$
