Q.4: A circle is given with centre (2, 2) and radius 5$\sqrt{5}$. Obtain the equation of the given circle.

Sol:

The General equation of a circle with centre (h, k) and radius r is:

(a – h)2 + (b – k)2 = r2

Given:

Centre of a circle = (h, k) = (2, 2) and radius (r) = 5$\sqrt{5}$

The equation of a circle is:

(a – 2)2 + (b – 2)2 = 52$\sqrt{5}^{2}$

(a – 2)2 + (b – 2)2 = 52$\sqrt{5}^{2}$

a2 – 4a + 4 + b2 – 4b + 4 = 5

a2 – 4a + b2 – 4b + 8 = 5

a2 – 4a + b2 – 4b + 8 – 5 = 0

a2 – 4a + b2 – 4b + 3 = 0

a2 + b2 – 4a – 4b + 3 = 0

Q.5: A circle is given with centre (- x, – y) and radius x2y2$\sqrt{x^{2} – y^{2}}$. Find the equation of the circle.

Sol:

The General equation of a circle with centre (h, k) and radius r is:

(a – h)2 + (b – k)2 = r2

Given:

Centre of a circle = (h, k) = (- x, – y) and radius ‘r’ = x2y2$\sqrt{x^{2} – y^{2}}$

The equation of a circle is:

(a – (- x)2 + (b – (- y)2 = x2y22$\sqrt{x^{2} – y^{2}}^{2}$

(a + x)2 + (b + y)2 = x2y22$\sqrt{x^{2} – y^{2}}^{2}$

(a + x)2 + (b + y)2 = x2 – y2

a2 + 2ax + x2 + b2 + 2by + y2 = x2 – y2

a2 + 2ax + b2 + 2by + y2 = 0

Q.6: The equation of a given circle is given as (a + 5)2 + (b – 3)2 = 36. Find the centre and radius of the circle.

Sol:

Given:

The equation of a given circle (a + 5)2 + (b – 3)2 = 36

(a + 5)2 + (b – 3)2 = 36

{a – (- 5)}2 + (b  – 3) = 62

Which is of the form (a – h) 2 + (b – k) 2 = r2, where h = – 5, k = 3 and r = 6.

Hence, the centre of the circle is (-5, 3), and the radius of circle is 6.

Q.7: The equation of a given circle is given as a2 + b2 – 4a – 4b + 3 = 0

Find the radius and centre of the circle.

Sol:

Given:

The equation of a given circle a2 + b2 – 4a – 4b + 3 = 0

a2 + b2 – 4a – 4b + 3 = 0

a2 – 4a + b2 – 4b + 3 = 0

{a2 – 2.a.2 + 22} + {b2 – 2.b.2 + 22}  – 22 – 22 + 3 = 0

{a2 – 2.a.2 + 22} + {b2 – 2.b.2 + 22}  – 8 + 3 = 0

{a2 – 2.a.2 + 22} + {b2 – 2.b.2 + 22}  = 5

(a – 2)2 + (b – 2)2 = 52$\sqrt{5}^{2}$

Which is of the form (a – h) 2 + (b – k) 2 = r2, where h = 2, k = 2 and r = 5$\sqrt{5}$.

Thus, the centre of the circle is (2, 2), and the radius of circle is 5$\sqrt{5}$.

Q.8: The equation of a given circle is given as a2 + b2 – 6a + 8b – 14 = 0

Find the centre and radius of the circle.

Sol:

Given:

The equation of a given circle a2 + b2 – 6a + 8b – 14 = 0

a2 – 6a + b2 + 8b – 14 = 0

{a2 – 2.a.3 + 32} + {b2 + 2.b.4 + 42}  – 32 – 42 – 14 = 0

(a – 3) 2 + (b + 4) 2 – 9 – 16 – 14 = 0

(a – 3) 2 + (b + 4) 2 – 39 = 0

(a – 3) 2 + (b + 4) 2 = 39

(a – 3) 2 + (b – (- 4)) 2 = 39

Which is of the form (a – h) 2 + (b – k) 2 = r2, where h = 3, k = 4 and r = 39$\sqrt{39}$.

Thus, the centre of the circle is (3, 4), and the radius of circle is 39$\sqrt{39}$.

Q.9: The equation of a given circle is given as 2a2 + 2b2 – 8a = 0

Find the centre and radius of the circle.

Sol:

Given:

The equation of a given circle 2a2 + 2b2 – 8a = 0

2a2 + 2b2 – 8a = 0

2a2 – 8a + 2b2 = 0

2[a2 – 4a + b2] = 0

{a2 – 2.a.2 + 22} – 22 + (b – 0)2 = 0

[a2 – 2.a.2 + 22] + [b – 0]2 – 22 = 0

(a – 2)2 + (b – 0)2 = 22 = 4

Which is of the form (a – h) 2 + (b – k) 2 = r2, where h = 2, k = 0 and r = 4$\sqrt{4}$ = 2.

Thus, the centre of the circle is (3, 4), and the radius of circle is 2.

Q.10: The circle passing through the points (6, 2) and (4, 3) and whose centre lies on the line 2a + y = 8. Find the equation of the circle.

Sol:

The equation of a required circle with centre (h, k) and radius r is given as

(a – h)2 + (b – k)2 = r2

As the circle passes through (6, 2) and (4, 3)

(6 – h)2 + (2 – k)2 = r2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (1)

(4 – h)2 + (3 – k)2 = r2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (2)

The centre (h, k) of the circle lies on the line 2a + y = 8,

2h + k = 8 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (3)

Now, On Comparing equations 1 and 2, we will get:

(6 – h)2 + (2 – k)2 = (4 – h)2 + (3 – k)2

36 – 12h + h2 + 4 – 4k + k2 = 16 – 8h + h2 + 9 – 6k + k2

36 – 12h + 4 – 4k = 16 – 8h + 9 – 6k

– 12h – 4k + 8h + 6k = 16 + 9 – 36 – 4

4h – 2k = 15 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (4)

Now, on Solving Equations (3) and (4), we will get:

h = 318$\frac{31}{8}$

k = 14$\frac{1}{4}$

Substituting the values of h and k in equation (1), we will get:

(6 – 318$\frac{31}{8}$)2 + (2 – 14$\frac{1}{4}$)2 = r2

(178)2+(74)2=r2$\\(\frac{17}{8})^{2} + (\frac{7}{4})^{2} = r^{2}$

$\\\Rightarrow$ 28964+4916=r2$\frac{289}{64} + \frac{49}{16} = r^{2}$

$\\\Rightarrow$  289+19664=r2$\frac{289 + 196}{64} = r^{2}$

$\\\Rightarrow$ 48564=r2$\frac{485}{64} = r^{2}$

$\Rightarrow$  r = 7.57

The required equation is:

(a – 318$\frac{31}{8}$)2 + (b – 14$\frac{1}{4}$)2 = r2

(a – 318$\frac{31}{8}$)2 + (b – 14$\frac{1}{4}$)2 = 7.572

(a318)2+(b14)2=7.572$(a – \frac{31}{8})^{2} + (b – \frac{1}{4})^{2} = 7.57^{2} \\$

$\\\Rightarrow$   a2314a+(318)2+b2b2+116=57.30$a^{2} – \frac{31}{4}a + (\frac{31}{8})^{2} + b^{2} – \frac{b}{2} + \frac{1}{16} = 57.30\\$

$\\\Rightarrow$   a2314a+96164+b2b2+116=57.30$a^{2} – \frac{31}{4}a + \frac{961}{64} + b^{2} – \frac{b}{2} + \frac{1}{16} =57.30$

Therefore, the required equation is: 64a2– 496a + 64b2 -32b = 2702.51

Q.11: The circle passing through the points (3, 2) and (-2, 2) and whose centre lies on the line a – 3y – 13 = 0. Find the equation of the circle.

Sol:

The General equation of a circle with centre (h, k) and radius r is:

(a – h)2 + (b – k)2 = r2

As the circle passes through (3, 2) and (-2, 1)

(3 – h)2 + (2 – k)2 = r2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (1)

(-2 – h)2 + (2 – k)2 = r2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (2)

The centre (h, k) of the circle lies on the line a – 3y – 13 = 0,

h – 3k = 13 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (3)

Now, on comparing equations 1 and 2, we will get:

(3 – h)2 + (2 – k)2 = (-2 – h)2 + (2 – k)2

9 – 6h + h2 = 4 + 4h + h2

9 – 6h = 4 + 4h

h = 0.5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (4)

Now, on solving equation (3), we will get:

k = – 256$\frac{25}{6}$ = – 4.166

Now, on substituting the values of h and k in equation (1), we will get:

(3 – 0.5)2 + (2 – (- 256$\frac{25}{6}$))2 = r2

(2.5) 2 + (2 + 256$\frac{25}{6}$)2 = r2

(2.5) 2 + (2 + 4.16)2 = r2

(2.5) 2 + (6.16)2 = r2

r2 = 44.1956

r = 6.65

The required equation is:

(a – h)2 + (b – k)2 = r2

(a – 0.5)2 + (b – (- 4.16))2 = r2

(a – 0.5)2 + (b + 4.16)2 = r2

a2 – a + 6.25 + b2 + 8.32b + 17.30 = 44.19

a2 – a + b2 + 8.32b = 44.19 – 6.25 – 17.30

a2 + b2 – a + 8.32b – 20.64 = 0

Q.12: The radius of the circle is 6 whose centre lies on x – axis and passes through the point (3, 2). Find the equation.

Sol:

Given:

The radius of the circle is 6 and passes through the point (3, 2)

The General equation of a circle with centre (h, k) and radius r is:

(a – h)2 + (b – k)2 = r2

As, the centre lies on x – axis, k = 0, the equation becomes:

(a – h) 2 + b 2 = 36

(3 – h) 2 + 22 = 36

(3 – h) 2 = 36 – 4

3 – h = 32$\sqrt{32}$

h = 3+42$3 + 4\sqrt{2}$ or h = 342$3 – 4\sqrt{2}$

Q.13: The circle passing through (0, 0) and making intercepts a and b on the coordinate axes. Find the equation of the circle.

Sol:

Suppose, the equation of the required circle be (x – h) 2 + (y – k) 2 = r 2

The centre of the circle passes through (0, 0):

(0 – h) 2 + (0 – k) 2 = r 2

h 2 + k 2 = r 2

Therefore, the equation of the circle is:

(x – h) 2 + (y – k) 2 = h 2 + k 2 .

Given, the circle makes intercepts a and b on the coordinate axes.

The circle passes through points (a, 0) and (0, b).

Therefore, (a – h) 2 + (0 – k) 2 = h 2 + k 2  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (1)

(0 – h) 2 + (b – k) 2 = h 2 + k 2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (2)

Now, from equation (1), we obtain:

a 2 – 2ah + h 2 + k 2 = h 2 + k 2

a 2 – 2ah = 0

a (a – 2h) = 0

a = 0 or (a – 2h) = 0

We know, a ≠ 0; hence, (a – 2h) = 0 ⇒ h =a/2.

Now, from equation (2), we will get:

h 2 + b 2 – 2bk + k 2 = h 2 + k 2

b 2 – 2bk = 0

b (b – 2k) = 0

b = 0 or(b – 2k) = 0

However, b ≠ 0;

Therefore, (b – 2k) = 0 ⇒ k =b/2.

Thus, the equation of the required circle is:

(xa2)2+(yb2)2=(a2)2+(b2)2(2xa2)2+(2yb2)2=a2+b224x24ax+a2+4y24bx+b2=a2+b24x2+4y24ax4by=0x2+y2axby=0$(x – \frac{a}{2})^{2} + (y – \frac{b}{2})^{2} = (\frac{a}{2})^{2} + (\frac{b}{2})^{2} \\ (\frac{2x – a}{2})^{2} + (\frac{2y – b}{2})^{2} = \frac{a^{2} + b^{2}}{2} \\ 4x^{2} – 4ax + a^{2} + 4y^{2} – 4bx + b^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2} \\ 4x^{2} + 4y^{2} – 4ax – 4by = 0 \\ x^{2} + y^{2} – ax – by = 0$

Q.14: The circle with centre (3, 3) and passes through the point (6, 5), find the equation of a circle?

Sol:

Given:

The centre of the circle (h, k) = (3, 3).

As the circle passes through point (6, 5), the radius (r) of the circle is the distance between the points (2, 2) and (6, 5).

r=(36)2+(35)2+(3)2+(2)2=9+4=13$r = \sqrt{(3 – 6)^{2} + (3 – 5)^{2}} + \sqrt{(- 3)^{2} + (- 2)^{2}} = \sqrt{9 + 4} = \sqrt{13}\\$

Therefore, the equation of the circle is:

(ah)2+(bk)2=r2(a3)2+(b3)2=132a26a+9+b26b+9=13a2+b26a6b+1813=0a2+b26a6b+5=0$\\(a – h)^{2} + (b – k)^{2} = r^{2} \\ (a – 3)^{2} + (b – 3)^{2} = \sqrt{13}^{2} \\ a^{2} – 6a + 9 + b^{2} – 6b + 9 = 13 \\ a^{2} + b^{2} – 6a – 6b + 18 – 13 = 0 \\ a^{2} + b^{2} – 6a – 6b + 5 = 0$

Q.15: Check whether the point (–2.0, 3.0) lies inside, outside or on the circle x 2 + y 2 = 25?

Sol:

Given:

The equation of the given circle is x 2 + y 2 = 25

x 2 + y 2 = 25

(x – 0)2 + (y – 0)2 = 52 , which is of the form (a – h) 2 + (b – k) 2 = r2, where h = 0, k = 0, and r = 5.

Centre = (0, 0) and radius = 5

Distance between point (– 2.0, 3.0) and centre (0, 0)

(20)2+(30)2$\sqrt{(- 2 – 0)^{2} + (3 – 0)^{2}}\\$

=4+9=13=3.60(approx.)<5$\sqrt{4 + 9} = \sqrt{13} = 3.60 (approx.) < 5$

As, the distance between point (– 2.0, 3.0) and centre (0, 0) of the circle is less than the radius of the circle, point (– 2.0, 3.0) lies inside the circle.

Exercise 11.2

Q.1: For the equation y2 = 16x, determine the focus coordinates, the directrix equation, the length of the latus rectum and the axis of the parabola.

Sol:

Given:

y2 = 16x

As the coefficient of x is positive, the given parabola has the opening on the right side.

By comparing this equation with y2 = 4ax, we get:

4a = 16 ⇒ a = 4

Therefore, focus coordinates = (a, 0) = (4, 0)

The given equation has y2, the x-axis is the axis of the parabola.

Directrix equation, x = – a = – 4

So, x + 4 = 0

Therefore, Length of the latus rectum = 4a = 4 × 4 = 16

Q.2: For the equation x2 = 8y, determine the focus coordinates, the directrix equation, the length of the latus rectum and the axis of the parabola.

Sol:

Given:

x2 = 8y

As the coefficient of y is positive, the given parabola has the opening upwards.

By comparing this equation with x2 = 4ay, we get

4a = 8 ⇒ a = 2

Therefore, focus coordinates = (0, a) = (0, 2)

The given equation has x2, the y – axis is the axis of the parabola.

Directrix equation, y = – a = – 2

So, x + 2 = 0

Therefore, Length of the latus rectum = 4a = 4 × 2 = 8

Q.3: For the equation y2 = – 12x, determine the focus coordinates, the directrix equation, the length of the latus rectum and the axis of the parabola.

Sol:

Given:

y2 = – 12x

As the coefficient of x is negative, the given parabola has the opening on the left side.

By comparing this equation with y2 = – 4ax, we get

4a = 12 ⇒ a = 3

Therefore, focus coordinates = (- a, 0) = (- 3, 0)

The given equation has y2, the x-axis is the axis of the parabola.

Directrix equation, x = a = 2

So, x + 4 = 0

Therefore, Length of the latus rectum = 4a = 4 × 3 = 12

Q.4: For the equation x2 = – 20y, determine the focus coordinates,  the directrix equation, the length of the latus rectum and the axis of the parabola.

Sol:

Given:

x2 = – 20y

As the coefficient of y is negative, the given parabola has the opening downwards.

By comparing this equation with x2 = – 4ay, we get:

– 4a = – 20 ⇒ a = 5

Therefore, focus coordinates = (0, a) = (0, 5)

The given equation has x2, the y – axis is the axis of the parabola.

Directrix equation, y =  a = 5

Therefore, Length of the latus rectum = 4a = 4 × 5 = 20

Q.5: For the equation y2 = 24x, determine the focus coordinates, the directrix equation, the length of the latus rectum and the axis of the parabola.

Sol:

Given:

y2 = 24x

As the coefficient of x is positive, the given parabola has the opening on the right side.

By comparing this equation with y2 = 4ax, we get:

4a = 24 ⇒ a = 6

Therefore, focus coordinates = (a, 0) = (6, 0)

The given equation has y2, the x-axis is the axis of the parabola.

Directrix equation, x = – a = – 6

So, x + 6 = 0

Therefore, Length of the latus rectum = 4a = 4 × 6 = 24

Q.6: For the equation x2 = – 7y, determine the focus coordinates,  the directrix equation, the length of the latus rectum and the axis of the parabola.

Sol:

Given:

x2 = – 7y

As the coefficient of y is negative, the given parabola has the opening downwards.

By comparing this equation with x2 = – 4ay, we get:

– 4a = – 7 ⇒ a = 74$\frac{7}{4}$

Therefore, focus coordinates = (0, a) = (0, 74$\frac{7}{4}$)

The given equation has x2, the y – axis is the axis of the parabola.

Directrix equation, y = a = 74$\frac{7}{4}$

Therefore, Length of the latus rectum = 4a = 4 × 74$\frac{7}{4}$ = 7

Q7. Obtain the equation of the parabola which satisfies the given conditions below:

(i) Focus coordinates = (8, 0)

(ii) Directrix (x) = – 8

Sol:

Given:

(i) Focus coordinates = (8, 0)

(ii) Directrix (x) = – 8

The axis of the given parabola is the x – axis as the focus is represented on the x – axis.

The required equation can be either y2 = 4ax and y2 = – 4ax

As we know, directrix (x) = – 8

As the coefficient of x is negative, the given parabola has the opening on the left side and the focus (8, 0)

Therefore, the equation of the parabola = y2 = 4ax,

Here, a = 8

Thus, the equation of the parabola = y2 = 32 x.

Q.8: Obtain the equation of the parabola which satisfies the given conditions below:

(i) Focus coordinates = (0, – 5)

(ii) Directrix (y) = 5

Sol:

(ii) Directrix (x) = 5

The axis of the given parabola is the y – axis as the focus is represented on the y – axis.

The required equation can be either x2 = 4ay and x2 = – 4ay

As we know, directrix (x) = 5

As the coefficient of x is negative, the given parabola has the opening on the left side and the focus (0, -5)

Therefore, the equation of the parabola = x2 = – 4ay,

Here, a = 5

Thus, the equation of the parabola = x2 = – 20y

As the vertex of a parabola lies at origin and the focus is represented on the positive side of the x – axis, and hence, the axis of the parabola is x – axis.

The required equation is y2 = 4ax

As we know, focus is (4, 0)

Therefore, the equation of the parabola = y2 = 4ax

Here, a = 4

Thus, the equation of the parabola = y2 = 16 x

As the vertex of a parabola lies at origin and the focus is represented on the negative side of the x – axis, and hence, the axis of the parabola is x – axis.

The required equation is y2 = – 4ax

Therefore, the equation of the parabola = y2 = – 4ax

As we know, focus is (- 3, 0)

Here, a = 3

The coordinates (3, 5) is in first quadrant.

Therefore, the equation of the parabola = y2 = 4ax, whereas (3, 5) should satisfy the equation

So,

52 = 4a (3)

25 = 12 a

The coordinates (6, 4) is in first quadrant.

Therefore, the equation of the parabola = x2 = 4ay, whereas (6, 4) should satisfy the equation

c = 4

m = 6

As we know:

m2 = n2 + c2

62 = n2 + 42

n2 = 36 – 16

n2 = 20

n = 20$\sqrt{20}$ = 25$2 \sqrt{5}$

(ii) Coordinates of centre (0, 0)

Sol:

Given:

(i) n = 2, c = 3 (on the x – axis)

(ii) Coordinates of centre (0, 0) i.e., centre is at origin.

The major axis are represented along x – axis as foci is along x – axis

The required equation of the ellipse is of the form:

As we know:

m2 = n2 + c2

m2 = 22 + 32

m2 = 4 + 9

m2 = 13

m = 13$\sqrt{13}$

Hence, x213+y24=1$\frac{x^{2}}{13} + \frac{y^{2}}{4} = 1$ is the equation of the ellipse.

x2n2+y2m2=1$\frac{x^{2}}{n^{2}} + \frac{y^{2}}{m^{2}} = 1$ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (1)

As the ellipse passes through (2, 1) and (2, 3) points, then

12n2+62m2=1$\frac{1^{2}}{n^{2}} + \frac{6^{2}}{m^{2}} = 1$ 32n2+22m2=1$\frac{3^{2}}{n^{2}} + \frac{2^{2}}{m^{2}} = 1$

1n2+36m2$\frac{1}{n^{2}} + \frac{36}{m^{2}}$ = 1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (a)

9n2+4m2$\frac{9}{n^{2}} + \frac{4}{m^{2}}$ = 1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (b)

m2 = 40, n2 = 10

Hence, y240+x210=1$\frac{y^{2}}{40} + \frac{x^{2}}{10} = 1$ is the equation of the ellipse.

(ii) It passes through the points (6, 2) and (4, 3)

The major axis are represented along y – axis as foci is along y – axis

The required equation of the ellipse is of the form:

x2m2+y2n2=1$\frac{x^{2}}{m^{2}} + \frac{y^{2}}{n^{2}} = 1$ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (1)

As the ellipse passes through (6, 2) and (4, 3) points, then

16m2+9n2$\frac{16}{m^{2}} + \frac{9}{n^{2}}$ = 1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (b)

Now, on comparing equation (a) and equation (b) we will get:
