![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Illustration -2- Find the equation a circle which touches the .y axis at (0, 4) and cuts an intercept of length .6 units on x axis . Solution- The equation of circle toching x = 0 at (0,4) can be taken as (x - 0)2 + (y - 42 ) + kx = 0 x2 + y2 + kx - 8y + 16 = 0 the circle cuts x -axis point (x1, 0) .8 (x2, 0 )given by, x2 + kx + 16 = 0 Xintercept difference of root of this quadratic equation 6 = | x2 - x1| 36 = (x2 + x1)2 - 4x1 .x2 36 = k2- 4 (16) k = 10Hence the required circle is , x2 + y2 10 x - 8y + 16
= 0Some natations in a circle- 1) s = x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c 2) s1= x x12 + y12 + 2yx1 + 2fy1 + c 3) T = xx1 + yy1 + g(x + x1) + f (y + y1) + c Standrad form- 1)s = x2 + y2 - a 2 2)s =1x12 + y1 2 - a2 3) T = xx1 + yy1 - a * If s1> 0 point lies out side
the circle * If s1< 0 point lies in side
the circle * If s1 0 point lies upon the
circle Why :- Let equation of circle be X2 + y2 + 2yx + 2fy + c = 0 having centre C ( -y, -f) and radius ![]() Let P (x1, y1) be any point then :- P lies outside the circle if :- PC > r => x1 2 + y12 +2 yx 1 + 2fy1 + c > 0 P lies on the circle if :- PC = r => x1 2 + y12 +2gx1 +2fy 1 + c = 0 P lies inside the circle if :- PC < r => x12 + y12 +2gx1 2fy1 + c < 0 Dumb question :- How does PC > r leads to - x12+ y12 + 2gx1 + 2fy1 + c > 0 Ans- ![]() and r = ![]() Now PC > r => PC2 > r2 => (x1 +y)2+(y1 +f)2 > y2 + f 2- c => x12 + y12 2gx, + 2fy1 + c > 0 (1) A line L and a circle intersed in two point A and B . => d < r ![]() => Perpendi cular distance of line L from the centre of circle is less than the radius, and the length of te chors AB is :- ![]() (2) A line L and +a circle touch each other at a point P. => d = r => Perpendicular distance of L from the centre of circle = radius. (3) A line L and a circle may not intersect at all => .d > r => Perpendicular distance of line from the centre of circle is greater than the radius . (4) A line y = mx + c touches circle x2 + y2 = a2 If :- perpendicular distance of line from centre of the circle = radius of the circle ![]() Illustration- For what value of m, will line y = mx does not intersect the circle x2+y2 + 20 X +20y + 20 = 0 Solution- IF the line y = mx does not intersect the circle ; the perpendicular distance of the line from the centre of the circle must be greater than its radius . Centre of circle (-10, -10) ; radius ![]() distance of line mx - y = 0 from (-10, -10) => |m(-10)-(-10)| ![]() =>(2m + 1) (m + 2) < 0 => -2 < m < - 1/2 Intersection of line with circle- Let the line be y = mx + d and circle is x2+ y2 +2gx + 2fy + c thes x. Coordinate of their point of intersection are given by, (1 + m2)x Why :- When the two curves intersect, both the curves will be simultaneously satisfied. So y = mx + d can be replaced in x2y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c =0 => x2 + (mx + d )2 + 2gx + 2f (mx + d) + c =0 => (1 + m)2 + (2g + 2fm + 2dm) x + d2 + 2fd + c = 0 if. (i) B2 - 4AC = 0 then line touches the circle. (ii) B2 - 4AC = > 0 then the line intersect circle at 2 different point. (iii) B2 - 4AC = < 0 then no real intersecti takes place. Illustration 4- Find the point on the circle x2 + y2 = 4 whose distance from the line 4x + 3y = 12 is 4/5 . Soluction- Let A,B be the point on x2/u> + y2 = 4 luing ar a distance 4/5 from 4x + 3y = 12 => AB will be parallel to 4x + 3y = 12 distance between the two line is ![]() => C = 16, 8 => the equation of AB is :- 4x + 3y = 8 4x + 3y = 16 the point A,B can be formed by sliving for point of intersection of x2 y2 = 4 with AB. AB (4x + 3y - 8 = 0)=> ![]() => 25 x2 - 64x + 28 = 0 => x = 2, 14/25 y = 0, 48/25 AB (4x + 3y - 16 = 0)=> => 25 x2 - 128 x + 220 = 0
=> D < 0 => no real roots Hence these are two pointr on circle at distance 4/5 from liine A (2,0) . & B
