The correct Answer is:
To find the equation of the circle whose diameter is the common chord of the given circles, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the equations of the circles We have two circles given by the following equations: 1. \( s_1: x^2 + y^2 + 3x + 2y + 1 = 0 \) 2. \( s_2: x^2 + y^2 + 3x + 4y + 2 = 0 \) ### Step 2: Find the equation of the common chord The common chord of two circles can be found using the equation: \[ s_1 - s_2 = 0 \] Substituting the equations of the circles: \[ (x^2 + y^2 + 3x + 2y + 1) - (x^2 + y^2 + 3x + 4y + 2) = 0 \] ### Step 3: Simplify the equation Now, simplify the equation: \[ x^2 + y^2 + 3x + 2y + 1 - x^2 - y^2 - 3x - 4y - 2 = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ 0 + 0 + 0 - 2y - 1 = 0 \] Thus, we have: \[ -2y - 1 = 0 \implies -2y = 1 \implies y = -\frac{1}{2} \] ### Step 4: Determine the diameter line The line \( y = -\frac{1}{2} \) is the line along which the diameter of the required circle lies. ### Step 5: Use the family of circles equation The equation of the circle can be expressed as: \[ s_1 + \lambda s_2 = 0 \] where \( \lambda \) is a parameter. ### Step 6: Substitute the equations into the family of circles Substituting the equations: \[ (x^2 + y^2 + 3x + 2y + 1) + \lambda (x^2 + y^2 + 3x + 4y + 2) = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ (1 + \lambda)x^2 + (1 + \lambda)y^2 + (3 + 3\lambda)x + (2 + 4\lambda)y + (1 + 2\lambda) = 0 \] ### Step 7: Find the center of the circle The center of the circle in the general form \( x^2 + y^2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 \) can be identified as: \[ g = \frac{-(3 + 3\lambda)}{2(1 + \lambda)}, \quad f = \frac{-(2 + 4\lambda)}{2(1 + \lambda)} \] ### Step 8: Set the y-coordinate of the center Since the center lies on the line \( y = -\frac{1}{2} \): \[ \frac{-(2 + 4\lambda)}{2(1 + \lambda)} = -\frac{1}{2} \] Cross-multiplying gives: \[ -(2 + 4\lambda) = -(1 + \lambda) \implies 2 + 4\lambda = 1 + \lambda \] This simplifies to: \[ 3\lambda = -1 \implies \lambda = -\frac{1}{3} \] ### Step 9: Substitute \(\lambda\) back into the circle equation Now substitute \(\lambda = -\frac{1}{3}\) into the equation of the circle: \[ (1 - \frac{1}{3})x^2 + (1 - \frac{1}{3})y^2 + (3 - 1)x + (2 - \frac{4}{3})y + (1 - \frac{2}{3}) = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{2}{3}x^2 + \frac{2}{3}y^2 + 2x + \frac{2}{3}y + \frac{1}{3} = 0 \] Multiplying through by 3 to eliminate fractions: \[ 2x^2 + 2y^2 + 6x + 2y + 1 = 0 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the equation of the circle whose diameter is the common chord of the given circles is: \[ 2x^2 + 2y^2 + 6x + 2y + 1 = 0 \]

To find the equation of the circle whose diameter is the common chord of the given circles, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the equations of the circles We have two circles given by the following equations: 1. \( s_1: x^2 + y^2 + 3x + 2y + 1 = 0 \) 2. \( s_2: x^2 + y^2 + 3x + 4y + 2 = 0 \) ### Step 2: Find the equation of the common chord ...
