The correct Answer is:
To find the radical center of the three given circles, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the equations of the circles in standard form The equations of the circles are: 1. \( C_1: x^2 + y^2 - 4x - 6y + 5 = 0 \) 2. \( C_2: x^2 + y^2 - 2x - 4y - 1 = 0 \) 3. \( C_3: x^2 + y^2 - 6x - 2y = 0 \) ### Step 2: Find the radical axis of the first two circles \( C_1 \) and \( C_2 \) The radical axis can be found by subtracting the equations of the circles: \[ C_1 - C_2 = 0 \] This gives us: \[ (x^2 + y^2 - 4x - 6y + 5) - (x^2 + y^2 - 2x - 4y - 1) = 0 \] Simplifying this: \[ -4x + 2x - 6y + 4y + 5 + 1 = 0 \] \[ -2x - 2y + 6 = 0 \] Dividing through by -2: \[ x + y - 3 = 0 \] Thus, the radical axis \( R_{12} \) is: \[ x + y = 3 \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] ### Step 3: Find the radical axis of the second and third circles \( C_2 \) and \( C_3 \) Now we find the radical axis for circles \( C_2 \) and \( C_3 \): \[ C_2 - C_3 = 0 \] This gives us: \[ (x^2 + y^2 - 2x - 4y - 1) - (x^2 + y^2 - 6x - 2y) = 0 \] Simplifying this: \[ -2x + 6x - 4y + 2y - 1 = 0 \] \[ 4x - 2y - 1 = 0 \] Rearranging gives: \[ 4x - 2y = 1 \] Dividing through by 2: \[ 2x - y = \frac{1}{2} \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] ### Step 4: Solve the system of equations formed by the radical axes We now have two equations: 1. \( x + y = 3 \) (Equation 1) 2. \( 2x - y = \frac{1}{2} \) (Equation 2) We can solve these equations simultaneously. From Equation 1, we can express \( y \) in terms of \( x \): \[ y = 3 - x \] Substituting this into Equation 2: \[ 2x - (3 - x) = \frac{1}{2} \] This simplifies to: \[ 2x - 3 + x = \frac{1}{2} \] \[ 3x - 3 = \frac{1}{2} \] Adding 3 to both sides: \[ 3x = \frac{1}{2} + 3 = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{6}{2} = \frac{7}{2} \] Dividing by 3: \[ x = \frac{7}{6} \] ### Step 5: Substitute back to find \( y \) Now substituting \( x \) back into Equation 1 to find \( y \): \[ y = 3 - \frac{7}{6} = \frac{18}{6} - \frac{7}{6} = \frac{11}{6} \] ### Step 6: Write the coordinates of the radical center Thus, the radical center of the three circles is: \[ \left( \frac{7}{6}, \frac{11}{6} \right) \] ### Summary of the Solution The radical center of the circles is: \[ \boxed{\left( \frac{7}{6}, \frac{11}{6} \right)} \]
