then there is a circle passing through P, Q and(1, 1) for

Options

A. all except one value of p
B. all except two values of p
C. exactly one value of p
D. all values of p

Answer

To solve the problem, we need to find the values of \( p \) for which there exists a circle passing through the points \( P \), \( Q \) (the intersection points of the given circles) and the point \( (1, 1) \).

### Step-by-step Solution:

1. **Identify the given equations of the circles:**
The equations of the circles are:
\[ S_1: x^2 + y^2 + 3x + 7y + 2p - 5 = 0 \]
\[ S_2: x^2 + y^2 + 2x + 2y - p^2 = 0 \]

2. **Find the radical axis of the two circles:**
The radical axis can be found by subtracting the two circle equations:
\[ S_1 - S_2 = 0 \implies (3x + 7y + 2p - 5) - (2x + 2y - p^2) = 0 \]
Simplifying this gives:
\[ x + 5y + 2p + p^2 - 5 = 0 \]
This is the equation of the radical axis.

3. **Equation of the new circle:**
The new circle passing through points \( P \), \( Q \), and \( (1, 1) \) can be expressed as:
\[ S_1 + \lambda L = 0 \]
where \( L \) is the equation of the radical axis. Substituting \( L \) gives:
\[ S_1 + \lambda (x + 5y + 2p + p^2 - 5) = 0 \]

4. **Substituting the point (1, 1):**
To ensure the circle passes through the point \( (1, 1) \), we substitute \( x = 1 \) and \( y = 1 \):
\[ S_1(1, 1) + \lambda L(1, 1) = 0 \]
Calculating \( S_1(1, 1) \):
\[ S_1(1, 1) = 1^2 + 1^2 + 3(1) + 7(1) + 2p - 5 = 2 + 3 + 7 + 2p - 5 = 7 + 2p \]
Calculating \( L(1, 1) \):
\[ L(1, 1) = 1 + 5(1) + 2p + p^2 - 5 = 1 + 5 + 2p + p^2 - 5 = 2 + 2p + p^2 \]
Therefore, we have:
\[ 7 + 2p + \lambda (2 + 2p + p^2) = 0 \]

5. **Solving for \( \lambda \):**
Rearranging gives:
\[ \lambda (2 + 2p + p^2) = - (7 + 2p) \]
Thus,
\[ \lambda = \frac{- (7 + 2p)}{2 + 2p + p^2} \]

6. **Finding conditions for \( \lambda \):**
The value of \( \lambda \) must be defined, which means the denominator cannot be zero:
\[ 2 + 2p + p^2 \neq 0 \]
This is a quadratic equation in \( p \):
\[ p^2 + 2p + 2 = 0 \]
The discriminant \( D \) of this quadratic is:
\[ D = 2^2 - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 2 = 4 - 8 = -4 \]
Since the discriminant is negative, the quadratic has no real roots, meaning \( 2 + 2p + p^2 \) is always positive for all real \( p \).

7. **Conclusion:**
The only restriction we have is that \( p \neq -1 \) (as noted in the transcript). Thus, the circle can exist for all values of \( p \) except \( p = -1 \).

### Final Answer:
The circle passes through points \( P \), \( Q \), and \( (1, 1) \) for all values of \( p \) except \( p = -1 \).
