Circle 4 Question 19

19. A circle touches the line y=x at a point P such that OP=42, where O is the origin. The circle contains the point (10,2) in its interior and the length of its chord on the line x+y=0 is 62. Determine the equation of the circle.

Answer:

Correct Answer: 19. x2+y2+18x2y+32=0

Solution:

  1. The parametric form of OP is

x0cos45=y0sin45

Since, OP=42

So, the coordinates of P are given by

x0cos45=y0sin45=42

So, P(4,4)

Let C(h,k) be the centre of circle and r be its radius.

Now, CPOP

k+4h+4(1)=1k+4=h4h+k=8 Also, CP2=(h+4)2+(k+4)2(h+4)2+(k+4)2=r2

In ACM, we have

AC2=(32)2+h+k22r2=18+32r=52 Also, CP=rhk2=rhk=±10

From Eqs. (i) and (iv), we get

 or (h=1,k=9)

Thus, the equation of the circles are

 or (x1)2+(y+9)2=(52)2x2+y2+18x2y+32=0 or x2+y22x+18y+32=0

Clearly, (10,2) lies interior of

x2+y2+18x2y+32=0

Hence, the required equation of circle, is

x2+y2+18x2y+32=0
