Four tangent circles centered on the x-axis are shown below. The radius of circle A is twice the radius of circle O. The radius of circle B is three times the radius of circle O. The radius of circle C is four times the radius of circle O. All circles have integer radii. The point (63, 16) lies on circle C. What is the standard equation of circle A? A detailed explanation would be preferred :)

Respuesta :

5 is your answer so A=10

The standard equations of circle A are;

  • (x - 15)² + y² = 10²

  • [tex]\left(x - \dfrac{2535}{209} \right)^2 + y^2 = \left( \dfrac{1690}{209} \right)^2[/tex]

Method for deriving the above standard equations of a circle;

Known;

The general for of the equation of a circle is (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

The radius of circle C = 4·r

Where;

r = The radius of circle O

The point on circle C = (63, 16)

Solution:

The above values and equation gives;

(63 - h)² + (16 - k)² = (4·r)²

k = The y-coordinate of the center of circle C which is on the x-axis

Therefore;

k = 0 = The y-coordinate of all circles in the diagram

h = r + 4·r + 6·r + 4·r = 15·r

(63 - 15·r)² + (16 - 0)² = (4·r)²

Which gives;

209·r² - 1,890·r + 4225 = 0

(r - 5)·(209·r - 845) = 0

r = 5 or r = [tex]\dfrac{845}{209}[/tex]

The radius of circle A, [tex]r_A[/tex] = 2·r

Therefore;

[tex]r_A[/tex] = 2 × 5 = 10

The x-coordinate of the center of circle A = 3·r

Therefore;

The center of circle A = (3×5, 0) = (15, 0)

  • The standard equation of circle A is (x - 15)² + y² = 10²

[tex]When \ r = \mathbf{\dfrac{845}{209}}[/tex]

[tex]r_A = 2 \times \dfrac{845}{209} = \dfrac{1690}{209}[/tex]

[tex]Coordinates \ of \ A =\left(3 \times \dfrac{845}{209}, \ 0\right) = \left(\dfrac{2535}{209} , \ 0 \right)[/tex]

  • [tex]The \ other\ standard \ equation \ of \ circle \ A \ is; \underline{\left(x - \dfrac{2535}{209}\right)^2 + y^2 = \left(\dfrac{1690}{209} \right)^2}[/tex]
