Question

 

Find the radical centre of circles x2 + y2 + 3x + 2y + 1 = 0,

x2 + y2 – x + 6y + 5 = 0 and x2 + y2 + 5x – 8y + 15 = 0. Also find the equation of the circle cutting them orthogonally.

Solution

Correct option is

 

Given circles are

                    

                       

                    

Equations of two radical axes are

                   

Solving them the radical centre is (3, 2) also, if r is the length of the tangent drawn from the radical centre (3, 2) to any one of the given circles, say S1, we have  

             

Hence (3, 2) is the centre and  is the radius of the circle intersecting them orthogonally.
