The correct Answer is:
To find the equation of the circle that intersects the circle \( x^2 + y^2 = a^2 \) orthogonally at the point \(\left(\frac{a}{\sqrt{2}}, \frac{a}{\sqrt{2}}\right)\) and has a common chord with a slope of -1, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: General Equation of the Circle We start with the general equation of a circle: \[ x^2 + y^2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 \] where \(g\), \(f\), and \(c\) are constants to be determined. ### Step 2: Condition for Orthogonality For two circles to intersect orthogonally, the following condition must hold: \[ 2g_1g_2 + 2f_1f_2 = c_1 + c_2 \] Here, we have the first circle \(x^2 + y^2 = a^2\) which can be rewritten as: \[ x^2 + y^2 - a^2 = 0 \] Thus, \(g_1 = 0\), \(f_1 = 0\), and \(c_1 = -a^2\). For our circle, we denote \(g_2 = g\), \(f_2 = f\), and \(c_2 = c\). The condition becomes: \[ 0 + 0 = -a^2 + c \implies c = a^2 \] ### Step 3: Substitute \(c\) into the Circle Equation Now, substituting \(c = a^2\) into the general circle equation gives: \[ x^2 + y^2 + 2gx + 2fy + a^2 = 0 \] ### Step 4: Find the Equation of the Common Chord The equation of the common chord can be derived from the two circles. The common chord is given by: \[ S_1 - S_2 = 0 \] where \(S_1\) is the equation of the first circle and \(S_2\) is the equation of our circle. Thus, we have: \[ (x^2 + y^2 - a^2) - (x^2 + y^2 + 2gx + 2fy + a^2) = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ -2gx - 2fy - 2a^2 = 0 \implies 2gx + 2fy + 2a^2 = 0 \] Dividing through by 2 gives: \[ gx + fy + a^2 = 0 \] ### Step 5: Slope of the Common Chord The slope of the common chord is given by: \[ \text{slope} = -\frac{g}{f} \] We are given that the slope is -1, so: \[ -\frac{g}{f} = -1 \implies g = f \] ### Step 6: Substitute \(g = f\) into the Circle Equation Now substituting \(g = f\) into the circle equation: \[ x^2 + y^2 + 2gx + 2gy + a^2 = 0 \] This can be rewritten as: \[ x^2 + y^2 + 2g(x + y) + a^2 = 0 \] ### Step 7: Substitute the Point of Intersection The circle intersects at the point \(\left(\frac{a}{\sqrt{2}}, \frac{a}{\sqrt{2}}\right)\). Substituting this point into the equation: \[ \left(\frac{a}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{a}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^2 + 2g\left(\frac{a}{\sqrt{2}} + \frac{a}{\sqrt{2}}\right) + a^2 = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{a^2}{2} + \frac{a^2}{2} + 2g\left(\frac{2a}{\sqrt{2}}\right) + a^2 = 0 \] \[ a^2 + 2g\left(\frac{2a}{\sqrt{2}}\right) + a^2 = 0 \] \[ 2a^2 + \frac{4ag}{\sqrt{2}} = 0 \] \[ \frac{4ag}{\sqrt{2}} = -2a^2 \implies g = -\frac{a\sqrt{2}}{4} \] ### Step 8: Final Equation of the Circle Substituting \(g\) back into the circle equation: \[ x^2 + y^2 - \frac{a\sqrt{2}}{2}(x + y) + a^2 = 0 \] This can be rewritten as: \[ x^2 + y^2 - \sqrt{2}a x - \sqrt{2}a y + a^2 = 0 \] ### Final Answer The final equation of the circle is: \[ x^2 + y^2 - \sqrt{2}a x - \sqrt{2}a y + a^2 = 0 \]
