For how many values of p, the circle `x^(2)+y^(2)+2x+4y-p=0` and the coordinate axes have exactly three common points ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
2
The circle and coordinate axes can have 3 common points, if it passes through origin. [p=0]
If circle is cutting one axis and touching other axis.
Only possibility is of touching X-axis and cutting Y-axis [p=-1]
