Question

The equations of the circles which touched both the axes and also the straight line 4x + 3y = 6 in the first quadrant and lies below it is 4x2+4y2 -4x - 4y + 1 = 0

Solution

Circle touching both axes is (h, h), h i.e.
(xh)2+(yh)2=h2
The condition of tangency with given line gives4h+3h6±5=hor7h6=5h
h = 3, 1/2
Since the circle is to lie below the line, the value of h cannot exceed 3/2 hence h = 3 is rejected.
h = 1 / 2.
Putting in (1) we get the answer.
