The correct Answer is:
To find the coordinates of the point from which the lengths of the tangents to the given three circles are equal, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the equations of the circles in standard form. 1. **Circle 1**: \[ 3x^2 + 3y^2 + 4x - 6y - 1 = 0 \] Divide by 3: \[ x^2 + y^2 + \frac{4}{3}x - 2y - \frac{1}{3} = 0 \] 2. **Circle 2**: \[ 2x^2 + 2y^2 - 3x - 2y - 4 = 0 \] Divide by 2: \[ x^2 + y^2 - \frac{3}{2}x - y - 2 = 0 \] 3. **Circle 3**: \[ 2x^2 + 2y^2 - x + y - 1 = 0 \] Divide by 2: \[ x^2 + y^2 - \frac{1}{2}x + \frac{1}{2}y - \frac{1}{2} = 0 \] ### Step 2: Set up the equations for the radical axis. The radical axis of two circles can be found using the equation \( S_1 - S_2 = 0 \). 1. **Radical Axis of Circle 1 and Circle 2**: \[ S_1 - S_2 = 0 \] \[ \left(x^2 + y^2 + \frac{4}{3}x - 2y - \frac{1}{3}\right) - \left(x^2 + y^2 - \frac{3}{2}x - y - 2\right) = 0 \] Simplifying gives: \[ \frac{17}{6}x - y + \frac{5}{3} = 0 \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] 2. **Radical Axis of Circle 2 and Circle 3**: \[ S_2 - S_3 = 0 \] \[ \left(x^2 + y^2 - \frac{3}{2}x - y - 2\right) - \left(x^2 + y^2 - \frac{1}{2}x + \frac{1}{2}y - \frac{1}{2}\right) = 0 \] Simplifying gives: \[ -x - \frac{3}{2}y - \frac{3}{2} = 0 \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] ### Step 3: Solve the system of equations. Now we will solve the two equations obtained from the radical axes. 1. From Equation 1: \[ y = \frac{17}{6}x + \frac{5}{3} \] 2. Substitute \( y \) in Equation 2: \[ -x - \frac{3}{2}\left(\frac{17}{6}x + \frac{5}{3}\right) - \frac{3}{2} = 0 \] Simplifying: \[ -x - \frac{51}{12}x - \frac{15}{6} - \frac{3}{2} = 0 \] Combine like terms and solve for \( x \): \[ -\left(1 + \frac{51}{12}\right)x - \frac{15 + 18}{12} = 0 \] \[ -\frac{63}{12}x - \frac{33}{12} = 0 \] \[ x = -\frac{33}{63} = -\frac{11}{21} \] 3. Substitute \( x \) back to find \( y \): \[ y = \frac{17}{6}\left(-\frac{11}{21}\right) + \frac{5}{3} \] \[ y = -\frac{187}{126} + \frac{70}{126} = -\frac{117}{126} = -\frac{39}{42} \] ### Final Coordinates Thus, the coordinates of the point from which the lengths of the tangents to the three circles are equal are: \[ \left(-\frac{11}{21}, -\frac{39}{42}\right) \]
