The equation of the cirele which passes through the point (1, 1) and touches the circle `x^2+y^2+4x-6y-3=0` at the point (2, 3) on it is |
|
Answer» Given circle is `x^(2)+y^(2)+4x-6y-3=0` (1) Required circle touches above circle at point P(2,3). So, it touches the tangent at point P to the given circle. Equation of tangent at point P(2,3) to the given circle is `2x+3y+2(x+2)-3(y+3)-3=0` or `x-2=0` Equatiion of family of circle touching line `x-2=0` at (2,3) is given by `[(x-2)^(2)+(y-3)^(2)]+lambda(x-2)=0,lambda in R` (2) It if passes through (1,1), then `1+4+lambda(-1)=0` or `lambda=5` Putting the value of `lambda` in equation (2), we get `(x-2)^(2)+(y-3)^(2)+5(x-3)=0` or `x^(2)+y^(2)+x-6y+3=0` This is the required circle. |
