Find the locus of the point of intersect...

Find the locus of the point of intersections of the tangent drawn to the circles `x ^(2) +y^(2) =a ^(2) ` which makes a constant angle `alpha ` to each other.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
` (x^(2) +y^(2) -2a^(2))^(2) =4a^(2) (x^(2) +y^(2) -a^(2) ) cot ^(2) alpha `
