The correct Answer is:
To find one of the limit points of the coaxial system of circles given by the equations \(x^2 + y^2 - 6x - 6y + 4 = 0\) and \(x^2 + y^2 - 2x - 4y + 3 = 0\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the equations of the circles We denote the first circle as \(S_1\) and the second circle as \(S_2\): - \(S_1: x^2 + y^2 - 6x - 6y + 4 = 0\) - \(S_2: x^2 + y^2 - 2x - 4y + 3 = 0\) ### Step 2: Rewrite the equations in standard form To find the centers and radii of the circles, we can complete the square for each equation. **For \(S_1\):** \[ x^2 - 6x + y^2 - 6y + 4 = 0 \] Completing the square: \[ (x - 3)^2 - 9 + (y - 3)^2 - 9 + 4 = 0 \implies (x - 3)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 14 \] Thus, the center of \(S_1\) is \((3, 3)\) and the radius is \(\sqrt{14}\). **For \(S_2\):** \[ x^2 - 2x + y^2 - 4y + 3 = 0 \] Completing the square: \[ (x - 1)^2 - 1 + (y - 2)^2 - 4 + 3 = 0 \implies (x - 1)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 2 \] Thus, the center of \(S_2\) is \((1, 2)\) and the radius is \(\sqrt{2}\). ### Step 3: Set up the coaxial system equation The coaxial system of circles can be expressed as: \[ S_1 + \lambda(S_1 - S_2) = 0 \] This gives us: \[ S_1 - S_2 = 0 \implies (x^2 + y^2 - 6x - 6y + 4) - (x^2 + y^2 - 2x - 4y + 3) = 0 \] Simplifying this: \[ -6x + 2x - 6y + 4y + 4 - 3 = 0 \implies -4x - 2y + 1 = 0 \] Thus, we have: \[ 4x + 2y = 1 \implies 2x + y = \frac{1}{2} \] ### Step 4: Find the limiting points The limiting points can be found by substituting values of \(\lambda\) into the center coordinates derived from the coaxial system. The centers can be expressed as: \[ C(\lambda) = (3 + 2\lambda, 3 + \lambda) \] Setting the radius to zero for the limiting points: \[ g^2 + f^2 - c = 0 \] Substituting \(g = 3 + 2\lambda\), \(f = 3 + \lambda\), and \(c = 4 + \lambda\): \[ (3 + 2\lambda)^2 + (3 + \lambda)^2 - (4 + \lambda) = 0 \] Expanding and simplifying: \[ 9 + 12\lambda + 4\lambda^2 + 9 + 6\lambda + 4 + 2\lambda - 4 - \lambda = 0 \] Combining like terms: \[ 5\lambda^2 + 17\lambda + 14 = 0 \] Factoring or using the quadratic formula gives: \[ \lambda = -2 \quad \text{or} \quad \lambda = -\frac{7}{5} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the limiting points 1. For \(\lambda = -2\): \[ C(-2) = (3 + 2(-2), 3 + (-2)) = (3 - 4, 3 - 2) = (-1, 1) \] 2. For \(\lambda = -\frac{7}{5}\): \[ C\left(-\frac{7}{5}\right) = \left(3 + 2\left(-\frac{7}{5}\right), 3 - \frac{7}{5}\right) = \left(3 - \frac{14}{5}, 3 - \frac{7}{5}\right) = \left(\frac{15 - 14}{5}, \frac{15 - 7}{5}\right) = \left(\frac{1}{5}, \frac{8}{5}\right) \] ### Conclusion The limiting points of the coaxial system of circles are \((-1, 1)\) and \(\left(\frac{1}{5}, \frac{8}{5}\right)\). Thus, one of the limit points is \((-1, 1)\).
