Question

$C_{1}$ and $C_{2}$ are two non concentric fixed circle with radii $R_{1}$ and $R_{2}$ such that $R_{2}$ is contained in $C_{1}$ . A third circle $C$ moves in such a way that it touches $C_{1}$ internally and $C_{2}$ externally, then find the locus of its centre.

Solution

$\begin{matrix} C C_{2} = r + r_{2} C C_{1} = r_{1} - r C C_{1} + C C_{2} = r_{1} + r_{2} (c o n s tan t) T h u s l o c u s o f C i s e l l i p s e . \end{matrix}$

Q. Assertion :The circles

x^{2} + y^{2} + 2 a x + c = 0

x^{2} + y^{2} + 2 b y + c = 0

touch each other if

\frac{1}{c} = \frac{1}{a^{2}} + \frac{1}{b^{2}}

c_{1}, c_{2}

r_{1}, r_{2}

touch each other if

c_{1} + c_{2} = r_{1} \pm r_{2}
