The correct Answer is:
To find the equation of the circle coaxial with the given circles, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the equations of the given circles The equations of the circles are: 1. \( S_1: 2x^2 + 2y^2 - 2x + 6y - 3 = 0 \) 2. \( S_2: x^2 + y^2 + 4x + 2y + 1 = 0 \) ### Step 2: Simplify the equations We can simplify \( S_1 \) by dividing the entire equation by 2: \[ x^2 + y^2 - x + 3y - \frac{3}{2} = 0 \] ### Step 3: Find the radical axis The radical axis of two circles \( S_1 \) and \( S_2 \) is given by the equation: \[ S_1 - S_2 = 0 \] Calculating \( S_1 - S_2 \): \[ (2x^2 + 2y^2 - 2x + 6y - 3) - (x^2 + y^2 + 4x + 2y + 1) = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ (2x^2 - x^2) + (2y^2 - y^2) + (-2x - 4x) + (6y - 2y) + (-3 - 1) = 0 \] \[ x^2 + y^2 - 6x + 4y - 4 = 0 \] ### Step 4: Rearranging the radical axis equation Rearranging gives: \[ x^2 + y^2 - 6x + 4y = 4 \] ### Step 5: Write the general form of the coaxial circle The equation of the coaxial circle can be expressed as: \[ S_1 + \lambda S_2 = 0 \] Substituting \( S_1 \) and \( S_2 \): \[ (2x^2 + 2y^2 - 2x + 6y - 3) + \lambda (x^2 + y^2 + 4x + 2y + 1) = 0 \] This expands to: \[ (2 + \lambda)x^2 + (2 + \lambda)y^2 + (-2 + 4\lambda)x + (6 + 2\lambda)y + (-3 + \lambda) = 0 \] ### Step 6: Finding the center of the coaxial circle The center of the circle can be found from the coefficients: \[ C_x = \frac{-(-2 + 4\lambda)}{2 + \lambda}, \quad C_y = \frac{-(6 + 2\lambda)}{2 + \lambda} \] ### Step 7: Substitute the center into the radical axis equation The center \( (C_x, C_y) \) must satisfy the radical axis equation: \[ C_x^2 + C_y^2 - 6C_x + 4C_y - 4 = 0 \] Substituting \( C_x \) and \( C_y \) into this equation will yield a value for \( \lambda \). ### Step 8: Solve for \( \lambda \) After substituting and simplifying, we find: \[ -13\lambda + 13 = 0 \implies \lambda = 1 \] ### Step 9: Substitute \( \lambda \) back into the coaxial circle equation Substituting \( \lambda = 1 \) into the coaxial circle equation gives: \[ (2 + 1)x^2 + (2 + 1)y^2 + (-2 + 4)x + (6 + 2)y + (-3 + 1) = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ 4x^2 + 4y^2 + 6x + 10y - 1 = 0 \] ### Final Answer The equation of the circle coaxial with the given circles is: \[ 4x^2 + 4y^2 + 6x + 10y - 1 = 0 \]
