If the radius of the circle x2 + y2 + 4x – 2y- k = 0 is 4 units find k.

Answer»

Given x2 + y2 + 4x – 2y – k = 0 & r = 4 units, K = ? 

Here g = 2, f = -1 and C = – k 

∴ Centre = (-2, 1) & r = \(\sqrt{g^2 + f^2 - c}\)

4 = \(\sqrt{(2)^2 + (-1)^2 - (-k)}\) ⇒ 4 = \(\sqrt{4 + 1 + k}\) S.B.S

16 = 5 + k 

⇒ k = 16 – 5 = 11
