Let each of the circles S_(1)-=x^(2)+y^(2)+4y-1=0 S_(1)-= x^(2)+y^(2)+6x+y+8=0 S_(3)-=x^(2)+y^(2)-4x-4y-37=0 touch the other two. Also, let P_(1),P_(2) and P_(3) be the points of contact of S_(1) and S_(2) , S_(2) and S_(3), and S_(3) , respectively, C_(1),C_(2) and C_(3) are the centres of S_(1),S_(2) and S_(3) respectively. P_(2) and P_(3) are images of each other with respect to the line |

Answer» `y=x` `S_(2) -= x^(2)+y^(2)+6x+y+8=0` `S_(3)-=x^(2)+y^(2)-4x-4y-37=0` `C_(1) -=(0,-2),r_(1)=sqrt(5)` `C_(2) -= (-3,(-1)/(2)),r_(2)=(sqrt(5))/(2)` `C_(3)-= (2,2), r_(3)= 3 sqrt(5)` Also,`C_(1)C_(2)=sqrt(9+(9)/(4))=(3sqrt(5))/(2)=r_(1)+r_(2)` So, `S_(1)` and `S_(2)` touch each other externally, `C_(2)C_(3)=sqrt(25+(25)/(4))=(5sqrt(5))/(2)=r_(3)-r_(2)` So, `S_(2)` and `S_(3)` touch each other internally. The point of contact `P_(1)` divides `C_(1)C_(2)` internally in the ratio `r_(1) : r_(2) = 2:1` `IMPLIES P_(1) -= (-2 ,-1)` The point of contact `P_(2)` divides `C_(2)C_(3)` externallyin the ratio `r_(2) : r_(3) = 1:6` `implies P_(2) -= (-4, -1)`. The point of contact `P_(3)` divides`C_(3)C_(1)` externally in the ratio `r_(3) : r_(1) = 3:1` `implies P_(3) -= ( -1,-4)` Area of `Delta P_(1)P_(2)P_(3)= (1)/(2) | {:(-2,-1,1),(-4,-1,1),(-1,-4,1):}| = 3` And area`Delta C_(1)C_(2)C_(3)= (1)/(2) |{:(0,-2,1),(-3,(-1)/(2),1),(2,2,1):}|=(15)/(2)` `:. ("area "(Delta P_(1)P_(2)P_(3)))/("area"(DeltaC_(1)C_(2)C_(3)))=(3)/(15)=2:5` Clearly, `P_(2)(-4,-1)` and `P_(3)(-1,-4)` are images of each other with RESPECT to the line `y=x` |
