If the circle x^(2) + y^(2) + 2x + 3y + 1 = 0 cuts another circle x^(2) + y^(2) + 4x + 3y + 2 = 0 in A and B, then the equation of the circle with AB as a diamter is

Answer»

`x^(2) + y^(2) + x + 3y + 3 = 0`
`2X^(2) + 2y^(2) + 2x + 6Y + 1 = 0`
`x^(2) + y^(2) + x + 6y + 1 = 0`
`2x^(2) + 2y^(2) + x + 3y + 1 = 0`

Solution :Given circle are,
`S = x^(2) + y^(2) + 2x + 3y + 1 = 0` and
`S^(1) -= x^(2) + y^(2) + 4x + 3y + 2 = 0`
`implies` EQUATION of radical axis is `S - S^(1) = 0`
-2x - 1 = 0
2x + 1 = 0
Equation of required circle is
`implies (x^(2) + y^(2) + 2x + 3y + 1) + lambda (2x + 1) = 0` Centre, `C = (-1 - lambda, (-3)/(2))` LIES on equation (1) then
`implies - 2 - 2 lambda + 1 = 0`
`implies 2 lambda = - 1`
`implies lambda = (-1)/(2)`
Equation (2) `implies x^(2) + y^(2) + 2x + 3y + 1 - (1)/(2) (2x + 1) = 0`
`implies 2x^(2) + 2y^(2) + 4x + 6y + 2 - 2x - 1 = 0`
`:. 2x^(2) + 2y^(2) + 2x + 6y + 1 = `, is required circle

Solution :`Let g(X) =x^(3)-9x^(2)+24x=x(x^(2)-9x+24)`
`therefore g(X)=3(x-2)(x-4)`
Singn scheme of g(X)

for three real roots of f(X)=`x^(3)-9x^(2)+24+c=0`
in the INTERVAL (-20,-16)
`f(x)=clt0`
`f(1)=1-9+24+c=c+16lt0 for forall c in (-20,-1)`
`f(2)=8-36+48+c=c+20gt0`
`alphain (1,2) or [alpha]=1`
`thereforebeta in (3,4)if c in (-18,-16)`
now `f(4)=64-144+96+c=16+clt0 if CIN (-18,-16)`
or `betan in (3,4) if c in (-18,-16)`
Now `f(4)=64-144+96+c=16+clt0 forall c in (-20,16)`
or ` gamma(4,5) or [gamma]=4`
Thus `[alpha]+[beta]+[gamma]={{:(1+2+4-20ltclt-18),(1+3+4,-18l,tclt-16):}`
Now if `c in (-20,-18)`
`alphain (1,2) beta (2,3)gamma in (4,5)`
or `[alpha]+[beta]+[gamma]=7`
If `c in (-18,-16),alpha in (1,2) , beta (3,4) gamma in (4,5) then [alpha+[beta]+[gamma]=8`

Solve the inequation log_(x^(2)+2x-3)((|x+4|-|x|)/(x-1)|gt0

Answer»


SOLUTION :We have `log_(x^(2)+2X3-)((|x+4|-|x|)/(x-1))gt0`
The given inequation is valid for
`(|x+4|-|x|)/((x-1))gt0`
and `x^(2)+2x-3gt0,!=1`…….i
Now consider the following cases:
CASE I If `0ltx^(2)+2x-3lt1`
`implies4lt(x+1)^(2)lt5`
`implies-sqrt(5)lt(x+1)lt-2` or `2ltx+1ltsqrt(5)`
`implies-sqrt(5)-1ltxle-3` or `1ltxltsqrt(5)-1`
`:.x epsilon (-sqrt(5)-1,-3)uu(1,sqrt(5)-1)`...ii
Ten `(|x+4|-|x|)/((x-1))lt1`
Now `xlt-4`, ten `(-(x+4)+x)/((x-1))lt1`
`implies 1+4/(x-1)gt0`
`implies((x+3))/((x-1))gt0`
`:.x epsilon (-oo,-3)uu(1,oo)`
`impliesx epsilon (-oo,-4)[:' x lt -4]`.iii
`-4lexlt0`, then `(x+4+x)/((x-1))-1lt0`
`implies((x+5))/((x-1))LT0`
`:.x epsilon (-5,1)`
`impliesx epsilon [-4,0)[:'-4lexlt0]` ..iv
and `xge0` then `((x+4-x)/((x-1))lt1`
`implies1=4/(x-1)gt0`
`implies((x-5))/((x-1))gt0`
`:.x epsilon (-oo,1)uu(5,oo)`
`impliesx epsilon [0,1)uu(5,oo)[ :' x ge0]`.......v
From eqs (iii), (iv) and (v) we get
`x epsilon (-oo,1)uu(5,oo)` .vi
Now common valuesin Eq. (ii) and (iv) is
`x epsilon (-sqrt(5)-1,-3)`..vii
Case II If `x^(2)+2x-3gt1`
`impliesx^(2)+2x+1gt5implies(x+1)^(2)gt5`
`impliesx+1lt-sqrt(5)`
or `x+1gtsqrt(5)`
`:.x epsilon(-oo,-1-sqrt(5))uu(sqrt(5)-1,oo)`........viii
Then `(|x+4|-|x|)/((x-1))gt1`
Now `xlt-4`, then `(-4)/(x-1)gt1`
`implies1+4/(x-1)lt0`
`implies (x+3)/(x-1)lt0`
`:. x epsilon (-3,1)`
Which is false `[:' x lt-4]`
`-4lexlt0` then `(2x+4)/((x-1))-1gt0` ltbRgt `implies((x+5))/((x-1))gt0`
`:.x epsilonn (-oo,-5)uu(1,oo)`
Which is false `[:'-4lexlt0]`
and `xge0` then `4/(x-1)gt1`
`implies1-4/(x-1)lt0`
`implies(x-5)/(x-1)lt0`
`:.x epsilon (1,5)`....ix
which is false `[:'xge0]`
Now comon values in Eq (viii) and (ix) is
`:. x epsilon (sqrt(5)-1,5)` .......x
Combinin Eqs (viii) and (x) we get
`x epsilon (-sqrt(5)-1,-3)uu(sqrt(5)-1,5)`
