Circle
The radius of the circle C is ___________.
Explanation:
Let equation of circle be
(x $-$ h)2 + y2 = h2 .... (i)
Solving Eq. (i) with y2 = 4 $-$ x, we get
x2 $-$ 2hx + 4 $-$ x = 0
$\Rightarrow$ x2 $-$ x(2h + 1) + 4 = 0 .... (ii)
For touching/tangency, Discriminant (D) = 0
i.e. (2h + 1)2 = 16 $\Rightarrow$ 2h + 1 = $\pm$ 4
$\Rightarrow$ 2h = $\pm$ 4 $-$ 1
$\Rightarrow$ $h = {3 \over 2},h = {{ - 5} \over 2}$ (Rejected) because part of circle lies outside R. So, $h = {3 \over 2}$ = radius of circle (C).
The value of $\alpha$ is ___________.

$\Rightarrow$ $h = {3 \over 2},h = {{ - 5} \over 2}$ (Rejected) because part of circle lies outside R. So, $h = {3 \over 2}$ = radius of circle (c).
Putting h = 3/2 in Eq. (ii),
x2 $-$ 4x + 4 = 0 $\Rightarrow$ (x $-$ 2)2 = 0 $\Rightarrow$ x = 2
So, $\alpha$ = 2

x + y = 2 respectively, then the maximum value of $\alpha\beta $ is _____.
Explanation:
$Q( - 3\cos \theta ,\, - 3\sin \theta )$
$\alpha = \left| {{{3\cos \theta + 3\sin \theta - 2} \over {\sqrt 2 }}} \right|$
$\beta = \left| {{{ - 3\cos \theta - 3\sin \theta - 2} \over {\sqrt 2 }}} \right|$
$\alpha \beta = \left| {{{{{\left( {3\cos \theta + 3\sin \theta } \right)}^2} - 4} \over 2}} \right|$
$ = \left| {{{5 + 9\sin 2\theta } \over 2}} \right|$
$\alpha {\beta _{\max }}$$ = {{5 + 9} \over 2} = 7$ (when sin2$\theta $ = 1)
Explanation:
$ \because $ center lies on x + y = 2 and in 1st quadrant center = ($\alpha $, 2 $-$ $\alpha $)
where $\alpha $ > 0 and 2 $-$ $\alpha $ > 0 $ \Rightarrow $ 0 < $\alpha $ < 2
$ \because $ circle touches x = 3 and y = 2
$ \therefore $ ${{\left| {\alpha - 3} \right|} \over 1} = r$
and ${{\left| {2 - (2 - \alpha )} \right|} \over 1} = r$
$ \Rightarrow \,|\alpha |\, = r$
$ \therefore $ $|\alpha - 3|\, = \,|\alpha |$
$ \Rightarrow $ ${\alpha ^2} - 6\alpha + 9 = {\alpha ^2}$
$ \Rightarrow \alpha = {3 \over 2}$
$ \therefore $ $r = {3 \over 2}$
$ \Rightarrow $ 2r = 3 = diameter.
x2 + y2 – 2x – 4y + 4 = 0 at two distinct points is ______.
Explanation:
$ \Rightarrow $ (x – 1)2 + (y – 2)2 = 1
Centre: (1, 2), radius = 1
Line 3x + 4y – k = 0 intersects the circle at two distinct points.
$ \Rightarrow $ distance of centre from the line < radius
$ \Rightarrow $ $\left| {{{3 \times 1 + 4 \times 2 - k} \over {\sqrt {{3^2} + {4^2}} }}} \right| < 1$
$ \Rightarrow $ |11 - k| < 5
$ \Rightarrow $ 6 < k < 5
$ \Rightarrow $ k $ \in $ {7, 8, 9, ……15} since k $ \in $ I
$ \therefore $ Total 9 integral value of k.
x2 – 8y + y2 + 16 – k = 0, (k > 0) touch each other at a point, then the largest value of k is ______.
Explanation:
C1(3, 0) and r1 = 1
C2 : x2 + y2 – 8y + 16 – k = 0
C2(0, 4) and r2 = $\sqrt k $
Two circles touch each other
$ \therefore $ C1C2 = | r1 $ \pm $ r2 |
$ \Rightarrow $ 5 = | 1 $ \pm $ $\sqrt k $ |
$ \therefore $ 1 + $\sqrt k $ = 5 or $\sqrt k $ - 1 = 5
$ \Rightarrow $ k = 16 or k = 36
So largest value of k = 36.
Explanation:
(x2 + y2 $-$ r2) + $\lambda $(2x + 4y $-$ 5) = 0 ......(i)
Since, the circle (i) passes through the centre of circle
x2 + y2 = r2,
So, $-$ r2 $-$ 5$\lambda $ = 0
or 5$\lambda $ + r2 = 0 ....(ii)
and the centre of circle (i) lies on the line x + 2y = 4, so centre ($-$ $\lambda $, $-$ 2$\lambda $) satisfy the line x + 2y = 4.
Therefore, $-$$\lambda $ $-$4$\lambda $ = 4
$ \Rightarrow $ $-$5$\lambda $ = 4
$ \Rightarrow $ r2 = 4 {from Eq. (ii)}
$ \Rightarrow $ r = 2

$x^2+y^2+3 x-4 y=0$
$x^2+y^2+x+y=0$
$x^2+y^2+6 x+2 y=0$
