Question:medium

If the angle between the pair of lines $x^2 - 2cxy - 7y^2 = 0$ is $\frac{\pi}{3}$, then the value of $c^2$ is:

Show Hint

Simplify the fraction inside the angle formula first before squaring to prevent arithmetic mistakes: $\sqrt{3} = \frac{\sqrt{c^2+7}}{3} \implies c^2+7 = 27 \implies c^2 = 20$.
