The correct Answer is:
To find the radius of the circle given by the equation: \[ 3x^2 + 3y^2 + \lambda xy + 9x + (\lambda - 6)y + 3 = 0 \] we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the equation in standard form First, we divide the entire equation by 3 to simplify it: \[ x^2 + y^2 + \frac{\lambda}{3}xy + 3x + \left(\frac{\lambda - 6}{3}\right)y + 1 = 0 \] ### Step 2: Identify the coefficients In the general form of a circle \( x^2 + y^2 + Gx + Fy + C = 0 \), we identify: - \( G = 3 \) - \( F = \frac{\lambda - 6}{3} \) - \( C = 1 \) ### Step 3: Apply the condition for a circle For the equation to represent a circle, the following conditions must be satisfied: 1. The coefficients of \( x^2 \) and \( y^2 \) must be equal. 2. The coefficient of \( xy \) must be zero. From the equation, we see that the coefficient of \( xy \) is \( \frac{\lambda}{3} \). Therefore, for the equation to represent a circle: \[ \frac{\lambda}{3} = 0 \implies \lambda = 0 \] ### Step 4: Substitute \( \lambda \) back into the equation Substituting \( \lambda = 0 \) into the equation gives: \[ 3x^2 + 3y^2 + 9x - 6y + 3 = 0 \] Dividing by 3: \[ x^2 + y^2 + 3x - 2y + 1 = 0 \] ### Step 5: Rearranging to standard form Rearranging the equation: \[ x^2 + y^2 + 3x - 2y = -1 \] ### Step 6: Completing the square Now, we complete the square for \( x \) and \( y \): 1. For \( x^2 + 3x \): \[ x^2 + 3x = (x + \frac{3}{2})^2 - \frac{9}{4} \] 2. For \( y^2 - 2y \): \[ y^2 - 2y = (y - 1)^2 - 1 \] Substituting back: \[ \left(x + \frac{3}{2}\right)^2 - \frac{9}{4} + (y - 1)^2 - 1 = -1 \] This simplifies to: \[ \left(x + \frac{3}{2}\right)^2 + (y - 1)^2 = \frac{9}{4} \] ### Step 7: Finding the radius The equation is now in the standard form of a circle: \[ \left(x - h\right)^2 + \left(y - k\right)^2 = r^2 \] where \( r^2 = \frac{9}{4} \). Thus, the radius \( r \) is: \[ r = \sqrt{\frac{9}{4}} = \frac{3}{2} \] ### Final Answer The radius of the circle is: \[ \boxed{\frac{3}{2}} \]
