Ex 10.1, 12 (Method 1)
Find the equation of the circle with radius 5 whose centre lies on x-axis and passes through the point (2, 3).
We know that equation of circle is
(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2
Centre of circle is denoted by (h, k)
Since it lies on x-axis ,
k = 0
Hence
Centre of circle = (h, 0)
& given Radius = 5
Distance between centre and point on circle = radius
Distance between points (h, 0) & (2,3) = 5
Distance between points (h, 0) & (2,3) = 5
√((𝑥2−𝑥1)2+(𝑦2−𝑦1)2) = 5
√((2 −ℎ)2+(3−0)2) = 5
√((2 −ℎ)2+3^2 ) = 5
√((2)2+(ℎ)2−2(2)ℎ+9) = 5
√(4+ℎ2−4ℎ+9) = 5
√(13+ℎ2−4ℎ) = 5
Squaring both sides
(√(13+ℎ2 −4ℎ))2 = 52
13 + h2 − 4h = 25
h2 – 4h + 13 − 25 = 0
h2 − 4h − 12 = 0
h2 − 6h + 2h − 12 = 0
h(h − 6) + 2(h − 6) = 0
(h + 2)(h − 6) = 0
So, h = –2 & h = 6
When h = –2
Equation of circle is
(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2
(x − (−2)2) + (y – 0)2 = 52
(x + 2)2 + y2 = 25
(x)2 + (2)2 + 2(x)(2) + y2 = 25
x2 + y2 + 4x + 4 − 25 = 0
x2 + y2 + 4x − 21 = 0
When h = 6
Equation of circle is
(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2
(x − 6)2 + (y – 0)2 = 52
x2 + (6)2 − 2(x)(6) + y2 = 25
x2 + 36 − 12x + y2 = 25
x2 + y2 − 12x + 36 − 25 = 0
x2 + y2 − 12x + 11 = 0
Hence required equation of circle is
x2 + y2 + 4x − 21 = 0
or
x2 + y2 − 12x + 11 = 0
Ex 10.1, 12 (Method 2)
Find the equation of the circle with radius 5 whose centre lies on x-axis and passes through the point (2, 3).
We know that equation of circle is
(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2
Centre of circle is denoted by (h, k)
Since it lies on x-axis ,
k = 0
Hence
centre of circle = (h, 0)
& given radius = 5
So, the equation of circle is
(x − h)2 + (y − 0)2 = (5)2
(x − h)2 + y2 = 25
Given that
Circle passes through the point (2, 3)
So, point (2, 3) will satisfy the equation of circle
Putting x = 2 & y = 3 in (1)
(2 − h) 2 + (3) 2 = 25
(2) 2 + (h) 2 − 2(2)(h) + 9 = 25
4 + h2 − 4h + 9 = 25
h2 − 4h + 9 + 4 − 25 = 0
h2 − 4h − 12 = 0
h2 − 6h + 2h − 12 = 0
h(h − 6) + 2(h − 6) = 0
(h + 2)(h − 6) = 0
So, h = –2 & h = 6
When h = –2
Equation of circle is
(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2
(x − (−2)2) + (y – 0)2 = 52
(x + 2)2 + y2 = 25
(x)2 + (2)2 + 2(x)(2) + y2 = 25
x2 + y2 + 4x + 4 − 25 = 0
x2 + y2 + 4x − 21 = 0
When h = 6
Equation of circle is
(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2
(x − 6)2 + (y – 0)2 = 52
x2 + (6)2 − 2(x)(6) + y2 = 25
x2 + 36 − 12x + y2 = 25
x2 + y2 − 12x + 36 − 25 = 0
x2 + y2 − 12x + 11 = 0
Hence required equation of circle is
x2 + y2 + 4x − 21 = 0
or
x2 + y2 − 12x + 11 = 0
