a- the common tangent to the circle x2+y2=6xand x2+y2+2x=0 forms an........... triangle
b-if 2 distinct chords of circle x2+y2=ax+by r drawn from pt a,b are divided by the x axis in 2;1 find relation b/w a and b
c- find eqn of locus of feet of perpendicular drawn from origin upon a variable chord of a circle which subtend right angle at origin
1)
x2+ y2 = 6x (1) and x2 + y2+ 2x = 0 (2)
So the centre of the circle (1) is (x-3)2 +(y-0)2 = 9 is (3 ,0) and radius = 3
And centre of the circle (2) is (x +1)2 + (y-0)2 = 1 is ( -1 ,0) and radius = 1
C1B + BC2 = 4 ,
1 + 3 = 4
Hence the circle touches each other externally.
We can find the coordinate of A by using the external division
So A (x1 ,y1) can be found as :
And B(x2 ,y2) by internal division .
So AB = 3
And AP = AQ =
And PB =
So PQ = 2(31/2 )
So all three sides are equal , hence the triangle formed is equilateral.
