The correct Answer is:
To find the radical axis of two equal circles centered on the x-axis and y-axis, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define the Circles**: - Let the first circle \( S_1 \) have its center at \( (a, 0) \) on the x-axis and radius \( r \). - The equation of the first circle \( S_1 \) is: \[ (x - a)^2 + y^2 = r^2 \] 2. **Define the Second Circle**: - Let the second circle \( S_2 \) have its center at \( (0, b) \) on the y-axis and radius \( r \). - The equation of the second circle \( S_2 \) is: \[ x^2 + (y - b)^2 = r^2 \] 3. **Set Up the Radical Axis**: - The radical axis is given by the equation \( S_1 - S_2 = 0 \). - Thus, we have: \[ \left((x - a)^2 + y^2 - r^2\right) - \left(x^2 + (y - b)^2 - r^2\right) = 0 \] 4. **Expand the Equations**: - Expanding \( S_1 \): \[ (x - a)^2 + y^2 = x^2 - 2ax + a^2 + y^2 \] - Expanding \( S_2 \): \[ x^2 + (y - b)^2 = x^2 + y^2 - 2by + b^2 \] 5. **Combine and Simplify**: - Substitute the expansions into the radical axis equation: \[ (x^2 - 2ax + a^2 + y^2 - r^2) - (x^2 + y^2 - 2by + b^2 - r^2) = 0 \] - This simplifies to: \[ -2ax + a^2 + 2by - b^2 = 0 \] - Rearranging gives: \[ 2by - 2ax + (a^2 - b^2) = 0 \] 6. **Final Form**: - The equation can be rewritten as: \[ 2ax - 2by + (b^2 - a^2) = 0 \] - This is in the form \( 2gx - 2fy + (g^2 - f^2) = 0 \). ### Conclusion: Thus, the radical axis of the two equal circles centered on the x-axis and y-axis can be expressed as: \[ 2ax - 2by + (b^2 - a^2) = 0 \]
