Hi Deep,
 
Let ( g , f ) be center of circle.
 
Y axis is tangent to circle, therefore f = + - 4
 
X axis is intercepted by circle . So ,
 
                                   2(g^2 - c )^(1/2) = 6  ____________(i)
 
 and intercept on Y axis is 0 . So,
 
                                 2(f^2 - c)^ (1/2) = 0
 
                                  f^2 = c
 
                              16 = c                      
 
        From (i)
    
                  g = + - 5
 
                 radius is 5                                radius = ( g^2  + f^2 - c) ^ (1/2)  
 
( x + - 5 )2  +  (y + - 4 )2  =  25

hey deep whats wrong with my answer u can crosscheck
If u substitute (0 , - + 4) in equation it will satisfy.

even i got the same solution... n i cant understand why you put this as 'a good solution' and why this answer is wrong!!

HELLO DEEP 01...................
VINEET HAS DONE IN A VERY GOOD MANNER............
 
BUT THERE IS ONE MISTAKE..........
I WILL SOLVE IT.........
 
 
Let ( g , f ) be center of circle.
 
 f =  4
 
X axis is intercepted by circle . So ,
 
                                   2(g^2 - c )^(1/2) = 6  ____________(i)
 
 and intercept on Y axis is 0 . So,
 
                                 2(f^2 - c)^ (1/2) = 0
 
                                  f^2 = c
 
                              16 = c                      
 
        From (i)
    
                  g = + - 5
 
THEREFORE radius =  sqrt ( g+ f- c  )  = 3
 
now look....................... one more thing................
 
4 circles will be drawn...............okkkkkkkkkkkk...............
 
and............their centre will be..........
 
(5,4)
(-5,4)
(5,-4)
(-5,-4)
 
radius same =3.........
i m writing 4 only circle in same quadrant...........
 
(x-5)2 + ( y-4)2 = 9..............
 
it will be right .................
 
thanku.........

BELIEVE IN URSELF.....BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN U..............

well apply family of circles...
 
the equation is in terms of k-

(x)^2 + (y-4)^2 + k(x)=0

and x intercept =6
 hence 2(K/2^2-16)=6
hence k=+- 10

and hence eq is-

x^2+y^2+10x-8y+16=0
or
x^2+y^2-10x-8y+16=0

hey ankur, i think your initial equation shud hav (y+-4)^2 since da circle can also be in da third or fourth quadrant wich will add two more solutions 2 ur answer
x^2 + y^2 -10x + 8y + 16 = 0
&
x^2 + y^2 +10x + 8y +16 = 0
wich is same as da answer as given by vineet
n DON007, how did u get the square root of g^2 +f^2 - c = 3... it comes out to be 5 wich is again da same answer
deep01 please step up n say y is dis answer wrong

hey guys(and a gal) ,dont u think if the circle touches the y-axis at a distance 4 ,its radius = 4
i got the centre as (+ - 4, + - sqroot(7) )
there4 equation of circle is
x^2 + y^2 +-8x +-2sqroot(7)y + 7 = 0
is this correct ?

let the eqn be x^2 + y^2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0

The circle passes thru (0.4) ---
16 + 16f +c = 0                                  ---i
Circle has 0 intercept on y axis -----
f^2 = c ---------------------- ii
Circle has 6 intercept on x axis -----
g^2 - c = 9


we get --- f = -15 or -1
               c = 225
                g = 15.29

hey deep
since the circle touches yaxis at (0,4)
=> the centre is (x,4)
also perpendicular from centre to the pppposite chord(the intercept of 6 on x axis)=4
just see a rt triangle is formed with the hypotenuse being the radius
thus r^2=3^2+ 4^2
=>r=5
also distance from centre to y axis =r=5
thus centre (5,4)
eq. (x-5)^2+ (y-4)^2=25
is it ok!
i think it is!!

there is no right way 2 do something wrong !!!!!!!!
