The correct Answer is:
To find the center of the circle that passes through the intersection of the given circles and also through the origin, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write down the equations of the given circles. The equations of the circles are: 1. \( S_1: x^2 + y^2 + 5x + 4 = 0 \) 2. \( S_2: x^2 + y^2 + 5y - 4 = 0 \) ### Step 2: Find the intersection of the two circles. To find the equation of the circle that passes through the intersection of both circles, we can use the formula: \[ S_1 + \lambda S_2 = 0 \] where \( \lambda \) is a parameter that we will determine. ### Step 3: Substitute the equations into the formula. Substituting \( S_1 \) and \( S_2 \) into the equation: \[ (x^2 + y^2 + 5x + 4) + \lambda (x^2 + y^2 + 5y - 4) = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ (1 + \lambda)x^2 + (1 + \lambda)y^2 + 5x + 5\lambda y + (4 - 4\lambda) = 0 \] ### Step 4: Since the circle passes through the origin, substitute \( (0, 0) \) into the equation. Substituting \( (0, 0) \): \[ (4 - 4\lambda) = 0 \] This gives us: \[ 4 - 4\lambda = 0 \implies \lambda = 1 \] ### Step 5: Substitute \( \lambda \) back into the equation. Now substituting \( \lambda = 1 \) back into the equation: \[ (1 + 1)x^2 + (1 + 1)y^2 + 5x + 5(1)y + (4 - 4(1)) = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2x^2 + 2y^2 + 5x + 5y = 0 \] ### Step 6: Divide the entire equation by 2. Dividing by 2 gives: \[ x^2 + y^2 + \frac{5}{2}x + \frac{5}{2}y = 0 \] ### Step 7: Rearrange the equation to find the center. The general equation of a circle is given by: \[ x^2 + y^2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 \] From our equation, we can identify: - \( 2g = \frac{5}{2} \) → \( g = \frac{5}{4} \) - \( 2f = \frac{5}{2} \) → \( f = \frac{5}{4} \) ### Step 8: Determine the center of the circle. The center of the circle is given by the coordinates \( (-g, -f) \): \[ \text{Center} = \left(-\frac{5}{4}, -\frac{5}{4}\right) \] ### Final Answer: The center of the circle is \( \left(-\frac{5}{4}, -\frac{5}{4}\right) \). ---
