If the circles x 2 + y 2 + 6 x + 8 y + 16 = 0 and x 2 + y 2 + 2 3 - 3 x + 2 4 - 6 y = k + 6 3 + 8 6 , k >…
Solution
The circle has centre and radius units.
The circle has centre and radius
Given that these two circles touch internally, so
distance between their centres
Here, is only possible value
Now the equation of common tangent to both the circles is given by
then equation becomes
are foot of perpendicular from to this common tangent, then
$\frac{\alpha+3}{1}=\frac{\beta+4}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{-(-3-4\sqrt{2}+3+4\sqrt{2}+3\sqrt{3})}{1+2}$ $\therefore \alpha+3=-\sqrt{3}$ and $\frac{\beta+4}{\sqrt{2}}=-\sqrt{3}$ $\Rightarrow (\alpha+\sqrt{3})^2=9$ and $(\beta+\sqrt{6})^2=16$ Hence, $(\alpha+\sqrt{3})^2+(\beta+\sqrt{6})^2=25$
