The equation of the circle, which cuts orthogonally each of the three circles x 2 + y 2 - 2 x + 3 y - 7 = 0 …

The equation of the circle, which cuts orthogonally each of the three circles x2+y2-2x+3y-7=0,x2+y2+5x-5y+9=0 and x2+y2+7x-9y+29=0
  1. x2+y216x18y4=0
  2. x2+y2=16
  3. x2+y216x=0
  4. y2x2+2x=0

Solution

Assuming, we have a circle x2+y2+2gx+2fy+c=0  ...1 which cuts circles

 x2+y2-2x+3y-7=0  ...2x2+y2+5x-5y+9=0  ...3 and x2+y2+7x-9y+29=0  ...4 orthogonally,

Applying condition for two circles intersecting orthogonally,

So, considering equations 1 and 2,

2g-1+2f32=c-7-2g+3f-c=-7  ...4
Similarly, considering equations 1 and 3

2g52+2f-52=c+95g-5f-c=9  ...5

and 1 and 4

2g72+2f-92=c+297g-9f-c=29  ...6

Solving equations 45 and g=-8f=-9 and c=-4,

Hence, the equation of the circle is (From equation 1)

x2+y216x18y4=0
