Circle
Let the circle $x^2 + y^2 = 4$ intersect x-axis at the points A$(a, 0)$, $a > 0$ and B$(b, 0)$. Let $P(2 \cos \alpha, 2 \sin \alpha)$, $0 < \alpha < \frac{\pi}{2}$ and $Q(2 \cos \beta, 2 \sin \beta)$ be two points such that $(\alpha - \beta) = \frac{\pi}{2}$. Then the point of intersection of AQ and BP lies on :
$x^2 + y^2 - 4x - 4 = 0$
$x^2 + y^2 - 4x - 4y = 0$
$x^2 + y^2 - 4x - 4y - 4 = 0$
$x^2 + y^2 - 4y - 4 = 0$
Let $y=x$ be the equation of a chord of the circle $\mathrm{C}_1$ (in the closed half-plane $x \geq 0$ ) of diameter 10 passing through the origin. Let $\mathrm{C}_2$ be another circle described on the given chord as its diameter. If the equation of the chord of the circle $\mathrm{C}_2$, which passes through the point $(2,3)$ and is farthest from the center of $\mathrm{C}_2$, is $x+a y+b=0$, then $a-b$ is equal to

Let a circle of radius 4 pass through the origin O , the points $\mathrm{A}(-\sqrt{3} a, 0)$ and $\mathrm{B}(0,-\sqrt{2} b)$, where $a$ and $b$ are real parameters and $a b \neq 0$. Then the locus of the centroid of $\triangle \mathrm{OAB}$ is a circle of radius
$\frac{7}{3}$
$\frac{11}{3}$
$\frac{5}{3}$

Let the set of all values of $r$, for which the circles $(x+1)^2+(y+4)^2=r^2$ and $x^2+y^2-4 x-2 y-4=0$ intersect at two distinct points be the interval $(\alpha, \beta)$. Then $\alpha \beta$ is equal to

Let PQ and MN be two straight lines touching the circle $x^2+y^2-4 x-6 y-3=0$ at the points $A$ and $B$ respectively. Let $O$ be the centre of the circle and $\angle A O B=\pi / 3$. Then the locus of the point of intersection of the lines PQ and MN is :
$x^2+y^2-18 x-12 y-25=0$
$x^2+y^2-12 x-18 y-25=0$
$3\left(x^2+y^2\right)-12 x-18 y-25=0$
$3\left(x^2+y^2\right)-18 x-12 y+25=0$
Explanation:
$P\left(x_1 y_1\right)$ and point $Q\left(x_2, y_2\right)$
Mid point of $\mathrm{PQ} M=\left(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)$
Substitute M into $x-y+1=0$
$ x_1+x_2-y_1-y_2+2=0 . .(i) $
Slope of PQ is Perpendicular to slope of bisector line So, slope of $P Q=-1$
$ y_2=x_1-x_2+y_1 \ldots . .(i i) $
$Q\left(x_2, y_2\right)$ lie on $5 x+y+2=0$
So, $5 x_2+y_2+2=0 \ldots \ldots$. (iii)
Substitute (iii) in (i)
$ x_2=\frac{-x_1-y_1-2}{4} \ldots .(i v) $
Substitute (iii) in (ii)
$ x_2=y_1-1 \ldots . .(v) $
From (iv) and (v)
$ x_1=2-5 y $
$\left(x_1, y_1\right)$ lie on circle
$ x_1^2+y_1^2=4 $
Pt $x_1=2-5 y_1$
$ y_1=0,-\frac{10}{13} $
So, $x_1=2, \frac{-24}{13}$
So, $2+\left(-\frac{24}{13}\right)=\frac{2}{13}$
So, $13 \times \frac{2}{13}=2$
Let $P$ be the point on the parabola $y = x^2$ such that the slope of the tangent to the parabola at the point $P$ is $4$. Let $Q$ be the point in the first quadrant lying on the circle $x^2 + y^2 = 2$ such that the slope of the tangent to the circle at the point $Q$ is $-1$. Let $R$ be the point in the first quadrant lying on the ellipse $x^2 + 4y^2 = 8$ such that the slope of the tangent to the ellipse at the point $R$ is $-\frac{1}{2}$. Then the radius of the circle passing through the points $P, Q$ and $R$ is
$\sqrt{10}$
$\sqrt{5}$
$\sqrt{\dfrac{5}{2}}$
$2\sqrt{5}$
Consider the circle C : $x^2+y^2-6 x-8 y-11=0$. Let a variable chord AB of the circle C subtend a right angle at the origin. If the locus of the foot of the perpendicular drawn from the origin on the chord AB is the circle $x^2+y^2-\alpha x-\beta y-\gamma=0$, then $\alpha+\beta+2 \gamma$ is equal to $\_\_\_\_$ .
Explanation:
Assumptions :
$\boldsymbol{F}(h, \boldsymbol{k})$ is the foot of the ⟂ drop from origin on the variable chord $\boldsymbol{A} \boldsymbol{B}$
The end-points of the chord $\boldsymbol{A B}$ are
$ \begin{array}{|l|l|} \hline \boldsymbol{A} & \boldsymbol{B} \\ \hline\left(\boldsymbol{x}_1, \boldsymbol{y}_1\right) & \left(\boldsymbol{x}_2, \boldsymbol{y}_2\right) \\ \hline \end{array} $

$ \begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|} \hline \text { Circle } & \text { Equation } & \text { Transform } & \text { Centre } & \text { Radius } \\ \hline \boldsymbol{C} & \boldsymbol{x}^2+\boldsymbol{y}^2-6 \boldsymbol{x}-8 \boldsymbol{y}-11=0 & (\boldsymbol{x}-3)^2+(\boldsymbol{y}-4)^2=36 & (3,4) & 6 \\ \hline \end{array} $
We will now form the line equations of the ⟂ drop $\boldsymbol{O F}$ and the variable chord $\boldsymbol{A B}$ :
$ l_{O F}: y=\left(\frac{k}{h}\right) x \Rightarrow l_{A B}: y=-\left(\frac{h}{k}\right) x+c ....(i) $
The foot of the ⟂ on line $\boldsymbol{l}_{\boldsymbol{A} \boldsymbol{B}}$ defined in equation (i) is $\boldsymbol{F}(\boldsymbol{h}, \boldsymbol{k})$ :
$ k=-\left(\frac{\boldsymbol{h}}{\boldsymbol{k}}\right) \cdot(\boldsymbol{h})+c \Rightarrow c=\frac{\boldsymbol{h}^2+k^2}{k} \Rightarrow l_{A B}: \boldsymbol{h} \boldsymbol{x}+\boldsymbol{k} \boldsymbol{y}=h^2+k^2 \ldots \ldots (ii) $
Equation (ii) which gives the equation of the variable chord $\boldsymbol{A} \boldsymbol{B}$ cuts the circle at $\boldsymbol{A}\left(\boldsymbol{x}_1, \boldsymbol{y}_1\right)$ and $\boldsymbol{B}\left(\boldsymbol{x}_2, \boldsymbol{y}_2\right)$ is substituted in the equation of the circle $\boldsymbol{C}$ from chart 1 to form 2 quadratics in $\boldsymbol{x}$ and $\boldsymbol{y}$ respectively :
Quadratic in $x$ :
$\boldsymbol{x}^2+\boldsymbol{y}^2-6 \boldsymbol{x}-8 \boldsymbol{y}-11=0 \Rightarrow \boldsymbol{k}^2 x^2+\boldsymbol{k}^2 \boldsymbol{y}^2-6 \boldsymbol{k}^2 \boldsymbol{x}-8 \boldsymbol{k}^2 \boldsymbol{y}-11 \boldsymbol{k}^2=0$
$\boldsymbol{k}^2 \boldsymbol{x}^2+\left(\boldsymbol{h}^2+\boldsymbol{k}^2-\boldsymbol{h} \boldsymbol{x}\right)^2-6 \boldsymbol{k}^2 \boldsymbol{x}-8 \boldsymbol{k}\left(\boldsymbol{h}^2+\boldsymbol{k}^2-\boldsymbol{h} \boldsymbol{x}\right)-11 \boldsymbol{k}^2=0$
$\left(\boldsymbol{h}^2+\boldsymbol{k}^2\right) \boldsymbol{x}^2-2 \boldsymbol{x}\left\{\boldsymbol{h}\left(\boldsymbol{h}^2+\boldsymbol{k}^2\right)+3 \boldsymbol{k}^2-4 \boldsymbol{h} \boldsymbol{k}\right\}+\left(\boldsymbol{h}^2+\boldsymbol{k}^2\right)^2-8 \boldsymbol{k}\left(\boldsymbol{h}^2+\boldsymbol{k}^2\right)-11 \boldsymbol{k}^2=0 \leftarrow$ Quadratic in $\boldsymbol{x}$
$\boldsymbol{x}_1 \boldsymbol{x}_2=\frac{\left(\boldsymbol{h}^2+\boldsymbol{k}^2\right)^2-8 \boldsymbol{k}\left(\boldsymbol{h}^2+\boldsymbol{k}^2\right)-11 \boldsymbol{k}^2}{\left(\boldsymbol{h}^2+\boldsymbol{k}^2\right)} \ldots$. (iii) where $\boldsymbol{x}_1$ and $\boldsymbol{x}_2$ are the roots of the quadratic
Quadratic in $y$ :
$\boldsymbol{x}^2+\boldsymbol{y}^2-6 \boldsymbol{x}-8 \boldsymbol{y}-11=0 \Rightarrow \boldsymbol{h}^2 \boldsymbol{x}^2+\boldsymbol{h}^2 \boldsymbol{y}^2-6 \boldsymbol{h}^2 \boldsymbol{x}-8 \boldsymbol{h}^2 \boldsymbol{y}-11 \boldsymbol{h}^2=0$
$\left(\boldsymbol{h}^2+\boldsymbol{k}^2-\boldsymbol{k} \boldsymbol{y}\right)^2+\boldsymbol{h}^2 \boldsymbol{y}^2-6 \boldsymbol{h}\left(\boldsymbol{h}^2+\boldsymbol{k}^2-\boldsymbol{k} \boldsymbol{y}\right)-8 \boldsymbol{h}^2 \boldsymbol{y}-11 \boldsymbol{h}^2=0$
$\left(\boldsymbol{h}^2+\boldsymbol{k}^2\right) \boldsymbol{y}^2-2 \boldsymbol{y}\left\{\boldsymbol{k}\left(\boldsymbol{h}^2+\boldsymbol{k}^2\right)+4 \boldsymbol{h}^2-3 \boldsymbol{h} \boldsymbol{k}\right\}+\left(\boldsymbol{h}^2+k^2\right)^2-6 \boldsymbol{h}\left(\boldsymbol{h}^2+k^2\right)-11 \boldsymbol{h}^2=0$ Quadratic in $\boldsymbol{y}$
$\boldsymbol{y}_1 \boldsymbol{y}_2=\frac{\left(h^2+k^2\right)^2-6 h\left(h^2+k^2\right)-11 h^2}{h^2+k^2} \ldots .(\boldsymbol{i v})$ where $\boldsymbol{y}_1$ and $\boldsymbol{y}_2$ are the roots of the quadratic
The variable chord $\boldsymbol{A B}$ with end-points $\boldsymbol{A}\left(\boldsymbol{x}_1, \boldsymbol{y}_1\right)$ and $\boldsymbol{B}\left(\boldsymbol{x}_2, \boldsymbol{y}_2\right)$ subtend a right $\measuredangle$ at origin.
We now infer from equations (iii) and (iv) :
$\left(\frac{y_1}{x_1}\right) \cdot\left(\frac{y_2}{x_2}\right)=-1$
$\Rightarrow \frac{\left\{\frac{\left(\boldsymbol{h}^2+\boldsymbol{k}^2\right)^2-6 \boldsymbol{h}\left(\boldsymbol{h}^2+\boldsymbol{k}^2\right)-11 \boldsymbol{h}^2}{\boldsymbol{h}^2+\boldsymbol{k}^2}\right\}}{\left\{\frac{\left(\boldsymbol{h}^2+\boldsymbol{k}^2\right)^2-8 \boldsymbol{k}\left(\boldsymbol{h}^2+\boldsymbol{k}^2\right)-11 \boldsymbol{k}^2}{\left(\boldsymbol{h}^2+\boldsymbol{k}^2\right)}\right\}}=-1$
$\Rightarrow \frac{\left(\boldsymbol{h}^2+\boldsymbol{k}^2\right)^2-6 \boldsymbol{h}\left(\boldsymbol{h}^2+\boldsymbol{k}^2\right)-11 \boldsymbol{h}^2}{\left(\boldsymbol{h}^2+\boldsymbol{k}^2\right)^2-8 \boldsymbol{k}\left(\boldsymbol{h}^2+\boldsymbol{k}^2\right)-11 \boldsymbol{k}^2}=-1$
$\Rightarrow $ $ \left(\boldsymbol{h}^2+\boldsymbol{k}^2\right)^2-6 \boldsymbol{h}\left(\boldsymbol{h}^2+\boldsymbol{k}^2\right)-11 \boldsymbol{h}^2=-\left\{\left(\boldsymbol{h}^2+\boldsymbol{k}^2\right)^2-8 \boldsymbol{k}\left(\boldsymbol{h}^2+\boldsymbol{k}^2\right)-11 \boldsymbol{k}^2\right\} $
$\Rightarrow $ $2\left(\boldsymbol{h}^2+\boldsymbol{k}^2\right)^2-\left(\boldsymbol{h}^2+\boldsymbol{k}^2\right)(6 \boldsymbol{h}+8 \boldsymbol{k})-11\left(\boldsymbol{h}^2+\boldsymbol{k}^2\right)=0$
$\Rightarrow $ $2\left(h^2+k^2\right) \cdot\left(h^2+k^2-3 h-4 k-\frac{11}{2}\right)=0$
$\Rightarrow $ $\boldsymbol{h}^2+\boldsymbol{k}^2-3 \boldsymbol{h}-4 \boldsymbol{k}-\frac{11}{2}=0 \leftarrow \boldsymbol{h}^2+\boldsymbol{k}^2 \neq 0[\because \boldsymbol{F}(\boldsymbol{h}, \boldsymbol{k})$ is not the origin $]$
$\Rightarrow $ $x^2+y^2-3 x-4 y-\frac{11}{2}=0 \ldots . .(\boldsymbol{v}) \leftarrow$ Locus of $F(h, k)$
The circle $C: \boldsymbol{x}^2+\boldsymbol{y}^2-\boldsymbol{\alpha} \boldsymbol{x}-\boldsymbol{\beta} \boldsymbol{y}-\boldsymbol{\lambda}=0$ be the locus of $\boldsymbol{F}(\boldsymbol{h}, \boldsymbol{k})$ which must be equivalent to equation $(\boldsymbol{v})$ :
$\therefore $ $\boldsymbol{x}^2+\boldsymbol{y}^2-\boldsymbol{\alpha} \boldsymbol{x}-\boldsymbol{\beta} \boldsymbol{y}-\boldsymbol{\lambda} \equiv \boldsymbol{x}^2+\boldsymbol{y}^2-3 \boldsymbol{x}-4 \boldsymbol{y}-\frac{11}{2}$
$ \Rightarrow \begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|} \hline \boldsymbol{\alpha} & \boldsymbol{\beta} & \boldsymbol{\lambda} & 2 \boldsymbol{\lambda} & \boldsymbol{\alpha}+\boldsymbol{\beta}+2 \boldsymbol{\lambda} \\ \hline 3 & 4 & \frac{11}{2} & 11 & 18 \\ \hline \end{array} $
Let the line $x-y=4$ intersect the circle $\mathrm{C}:(x-4)^2+(y+3)^2=9$ at the points Q and R . If $\mathrm{P}(\alpha, \beta)$ is a point on C such that $\mathrm{PQ}=\mathrm{PR}$, then $(6 \alpha+8 \beta)^2$ is equal to $\_\_\_\_$ .
Explanation:
Since $PQ = PR$, the point $P$ must lie on the perpendicular bisector of the chord $QR$.
Now, the points $Q$ and $R$ are the intersection points of the line
$ x-y=4 $
with the circle
$ (x-4)^2+(y+3)^2=9. $
So, $QR$ is a chord of the circle lying on the line $x-y=4$.
For a circle, the perpendicular bisector of any chord passes through the centre.
The centre of the circle is
$ (4,-3). $
The slope of the line $x-y=4$ is $1$, so the slope of the perpendicular bisector is $-1$.
Hence the perpendicular bisector of chord $QR$ passing through $(4,-3)$ is
$ y+3=-1(x-4) $
$ y+3=-x+4 $
$ x+y=1. $
Therefore, point $P(\alpha,\beta)$ lies on both:
- the circle:
$ (\alpha-4)^2+(\beta+3)^2=9 $
- the line:
$ \alpha+\beta=1. $
Now we need $(6\alpha+8\beta)^2$.
Using $\alpha+\beta=1$, let
$ \beta=1-\alpha. $
Substitute into the circle:
$ (\alpha-4)^2+((1-\alpha)+3)^2=9 $
$ (\alpha-4)^2+(4-\alpha)^2=9 $
Since $(4-\alpha)^2=(\alpha-4)^2$,
$ 2(\alpha-4)^2=9 $
$ (\alpha-4)^2=\frac{9}{2}. $
Now,
$ 6\alpha+8\beta=6\alpha+8(1-\alpha)=8-2\alpha. $
So,
$ (6\alpha+8\beta)^2=(8-2\alpha)^2=4(\alpha-4)^2. $
Using $(\alpha-4)^2=\frac{9}{2}$,
$ (6\alpha+8\beta)^2=4\cdot \frac{9}{2}=18. $
Hence, the required value is
$ \boxed{18}. $
Let the centre of the circle $x^2+y^2+2 \mathrm{~g} x+2 f y+25=0$ be in the first quadrant and lie on the line $2 x-y=4$. Let the area of an equilateral triangle inscribed in the circle be $27 \sqrt{3}$. Then the square of the length of the chord of the circle on the line $x=1$ is $\_\_\_\_$ .
Explanation:
For the circle
$ x^2+y^2+2gx+2fy+25=0, $
the centre is
$ (-g,-f) $
and radius is
$ r=\sqrt{g^2+f^2-25}. $
We are given that the centre lies in the first quadrant, so
$ (-g,-f) $
is in the first quadrant.
Also, the centre lies on the line
$ 2x-y=4. $
So if the centre is $(-g,-f)$, then
$ 2(-g)-(-f)=4 $
that is,
$ -2g+f=4. $
Now use the information about the equilateral triangle inscribed in the circle.
For an equilateral triangle of side $a$,
$ \text{Area}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a^2. $
Given area is
$ 27\sqrt{3}. $
So,
$ \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a^2=27\sqrt{3} $
which gives
$ a^2=108 \quad \Rightarrow \quad a=6\sqrt{3}. $
For an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle, the circumradius is
$ R=\frac{a}{\sqrt{3}}. $
Hence,
$ r=\frac{6\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}=6. $
Therefore,
$ r^2=36. $
So,
$ g^2+f^2-25=36 $
which gives
$ g^2+f^2=61. $
Now solve the system
$ -2g+f=4 $
and
$ g^2+f^2=61. $
From the first equation,
$ f=4+2g. $
Substitute into the second:
$ g^2+(4+2g)^2=61 $
$ g^2+16+16g+4g^2=61 $
$ 5g^2+16g-45=0. $
Solve:
$ 5g^2+16g-45=0. $
Discriminant:
$ \Delta=16^2-4\cdot 5\cdot(-45)=256+900=1156=34^2. $
Thus,
$ g=\frac{-16\pm 34}{10}. $
So,
$ g=\frac{18}{10}=\frac95 \quad \text{or} \quad g=\frac{-50}{10}=-5. $
Now centre is $(-g,-f)$ and must be in the first quadrant.
If $g=\frac95$, then
$ f=4+2\cdot \frac95=\frac{38}{5}, $
so centre is
$ \left(-\frac95,-\frac{38}{5}\right), $
not in first quadrant.
Hence reject.
If $g=-5$, then
$ f=4+2(-5)=-6. $
So centre is
$ (5,6), $
which is in the first quadrant.
Thus the circle is
$ x^2+y^2-10x-12y+25=0, $
with centre $(5,6)$ and radius $6$.
Now we need the chord cut by the line
$ x=1. $
Distance of the line $x=1$ from the centre $(5,6)$ is
$ |5-1|=4. $
If a chord is at distance $d$ from the centre in a circle of radius $r$, then chord length is
$ 2\sqrt{r^2-d^2}. $
So here chord length is
$ 2\sqrt{6^2-4^2}=2\sqrt{36-16}=2\sqrt{20}=4\sqrt{5}. $
Therefore, the square of the chord length is
$ (4\sqrt{5})^2=80. $
Hence, the required answer is
$ \boxed{80}. $
Let a circle C have its centre in the first quadrant, intersect the coordinate axes at exactly three points and cut off equal intercepts from the coordinate axes. If the length of the chord of C on the line $x + y = 1$ is $\sqrt{14}$, then the square of the radius of C is ________.
Explanation:
$\begin{aligned} & r^2=\left(\frac{\sqrt{14}}{2}\right)^2+\left(r-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^2 \\ & r^2=\frac{7}{2}+r^2-\sqrt{2} r+\frac{1}{2} \\ & \sqrt{2} r=4 \\ & r=2 \sqrt{2} \\ & r^2=8\end{aligned}$

If $B(\alpha, \beta)$, with $\beta<4$, lies on $C$ such that the length of the arc $A B$ is $(1 / 6)^{\text {th }}$ of the perimeter of $C$, then $\beta-\sqrt{3} \alpha$ is equal to

Let r be the radius of a circle that has centre at the point $(2,5)$ and intersects the circle $C$ at exactly two points.

Let $C$ be the circle $x^2+(y-1)^2=2, E_1$ and $E_2$ be two ellipses whose centres lie at the origin and major axes lie on x -axis and y -axis respectively. Let the straight line $x+y=3$ touch the curves $C, E_1$ and $E_2$ at $P\left(x_1, y_1\right), Q\left(x_2, y_2\right)$ and $R\left(x_3, y_3\right)$ respectively. Given that $P$ is the mid point of the line segment $Q R$ and $P Q=\frac{2 \sqrt{2}}{3}$, the value of $9\left(x_1 y_1+x_2 y_2+x_3 y_3\right)$ is equal to _______.
Explanation:
Solving the line $x+y=3$, and the circle $x^2+$ $(y-1)^2=2$
Substitute $y=3-x$ :
$\begin{aligned} & x^2+(3-x-1)^2=2 \\ & \Rightarrow x^2-2 x+1=0 \\ & \Rightarrow x=1 \Rightarrow y=2 \end{aligned}$
So, $P=\left(x_1, y_1\right)=(1,2) \Rightarrow x_1 y_1=1 \cdot 2=2$
Use midpoint condition
Let $Q=\left(x_2, y_2\right), R=\left(x_3, y_3\right)$.
Since $P$ is the midpoint of QR:
$x_2+x_3=2 x_1=2, y_2+y_3=2 y_1=4
$So, we can write: $x_3=2-x_2, y_3=4-y_2$

Given,
$P Q=\frac{2 \sqrt{2}}{3} \Rightarrow P Q^2=\left(x_2-1\right)^2+\left(y_2-2\right)^2=\frac{8}{9}$
Let's denote: $x_2=a, y_2=b, x_3=2-a, y_3=4-b$
$\begin{aligned} & (a-1)^2+(b-2)^2=\frac{8}{9} \\ & \Rightarrow a^2-2 a+1+b^2-4 b+4=\frac{8}{9} \\ & \Rightarrow a^2+b^2-2 a-4 b+5=\frac{8}{9} \\ & \Rightarrow 9 a^2+9 b^2-18 a-36 b+37=0 \end{aligned}$
Hence, $a=\frac{5}{3}, b=\frac{4}{3}$
$\begin{aligned} & x_1 y_1+x_2 y_2+x_3 y_3=2+a b+(2-a)(4-b) \\ & 9\left(x_1 y_1+x_2 y_2+x_3 y_3\right)=9(10+2 a b-2 b-4 a) \\ & =90+18 a b-18 b-36 a=46 \end{aligned}$
The absolute difference between the squares of the radii of the two circles passing through the point $(-9,4)$ and touching the lines $x+y=3$ and $x-y=3$, is equal to ________ .
Explanation:

$\because x+y=3$ and $x-y=3$ are tangents
$\therefore \quad$ Both circle centre will lie on $x$-axis
$\therefore(x-a)^2+y^2=r^2$
Hence centre is $C(\alpha, 0)$

Let the circle $C$ touch the line $x-y+1=0$, have the centre on the positive $x$-axis, and cut off a chord of length $\frac{4}{\sqrt{13}}$ along the line $-3 x+2 y=1$. Let H be the hyperbola $\frac{x^2}{\alpha^2}-\frac{y^2}{\beta^2}=1$, whose one of the foci is the centre of $C$ and the length of the transverse axis is the diameter of $C$. Then $2 \alpha^2+3 \beta^2$ is equal to ________.

$\begin{aligned} &x-y+1=0\\ &\mathrm{p}=\mathrm{r}\\ &\left|\frac{\alpha-0+1}{\sqrt{2}}\right|=r \Rightarrow(\alpha+1)^2=2 r^2\quad\text{.... (1)} \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} & \text { now }\left(\frac{-3 \alpha+0-1}{\sqrt{9+4}}\right)^2+\left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{13}}\right)^2=\mathrm{r}^2 \\ & \Rightarrow(3 \alpha+1)^2+4=13 \mathrm{r}^2 \ldots \ldots .(2) \\ & \text { (1) & }(2) \Rightarrow(3 \alpha+1)^2+4=13 \frac{(\alpha+1)^2}{2} \\ & \quad \Rightarrow 18 \alpha^2+12 \alpha+2+8=13 \alpha^2+26 \alpha+13 \\ & \Rightarrow 5 \alpha^2-14 \alpha-3=0 \\ & \Rightarrow 5 \alpha^2-15 \alpha+\alpha-3=0 \\ & \Rightarrow 5 \alpha^2-15 \alpha+\alpha-3=0 \\ & \Rightarrow \alpha=\frac{-1}{5}, 3 \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} &\therefore \quad r=2 \sqrt{2}\\ &\text { How } \alpha \mathrm{e}=3 \text { and } 2 \alpha=4 \sqrt{2}\\ &\begin{aligned} & \alpha^2 \mathrm{e}^2=9 \Rightarrow \alpha=2 \sqrt{2} \Rightarrow \alpha^2=8 \\ & \alpha^2\left(1+\frac{\beta^2}{\alpha^2}\right)=9 \\ & \alpha^2+\beta^2=9 \\ & \therefore \beta^2=1 \\ & \therefore 2 \alpha^2+3 \beta^2=2(8)+3(1)=19 \end{aligned} \end{aligned}$
