the circle touches both the x and y axes in the first quadrant and the radius is a.
For a circle of radius a, the centre is (a,a).
The equation of a circle having centre (h,k), having radius as "r" units, is
(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2
Therefore, the equation of the circle becomes (x – a)2 + (y – a)2 = a2
x2 - 2ax + a2 + y2 - 2ay + a2 - a2 = 0
x2 - 2ax + y2 - 2ay + a2 = 0
Show that the point (x, y) given by and lies on a circle for all real values of t such that –1 ≤ t ≤1 where a is any given real numbers.
Squaring both the equations,
Adding both the equations,
x2+y2= a2
The equation of a circle having centre (h,k), having radius as "r" units, is
(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2
Centre = (0, 0) Radius = a units
Hence proved.
If a circle passes through the point (0, 0) (a, 0), (0, b) then find the coordinates of its centre.
The equation of a circle having centre (h,k), having radius as "r" units, is
(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2
Putting the values of given co-ordinates in the above expression,
(0,0)
(0 – h)2 + (0 – k)2 = r2
h2 + k2 = r2
(a,0)
(a – h)2 + (0 – k)2 = r2
a2 + h2 - 2ah + k2 = r2 ------ (1)
(0,b)
(0 – h)2 + (b – k)2 = r2
h2 + b2 + k2 - 2bk = r2 ------- (2)
On solving equations (1) & (2), respectively,
a (a – 2h) = 0
b (b – 2k) = 0
So,
a = 0 or 2h
b = 0 or 2k respectively.
Since the circle passes through the centre (0,0), so the co – ordinates are
a = 2h,
b = 2k,
Th co – ordinates of the centre are .
Find the equation of the circle which touches x-axis and whose centre is (1, 2).
Since the circle has a centre (1,2) and also touches x-axis.
Radius of the circle is, r = 2
The equation of a circle having centre (h,k), having radius as "r" units, is
(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2
So, the equation of the required circle is:
(x – 1)2 + (y – 2)2 = 22
⇒x2 - 2x + 1 + y2 - 4y + 4 = 4
⇒ x2 + y2 – 2x - 4y + 1 = 0
The equation of the circle is x2 + y2 – 2x - 4y + 1 = 0.
If the lines 3x – 4y + 4 = 0 and 6x – 8y – 7 = 0 are tangents to a circle, then find the radius of the circle.
Since both lines are parallel & tangent to the circle. Then distance between these two lines must be the diameter of the circle.
Lines:
3x - 4y + 4 = 0
3x - 4y - 3.5 = 0 (Equating the co-efficient of the equation)
Distance (between 2 lines) = for the two given equations,
ax + by + c = 0 &ax + by + p = 0
Distance = = units
Radius =
=0.75 units.
Hence, the radius of the circle is 0.75 units.
Find the equation of a circle which touches both the axes and the line 3x – 4y + 8 = 0and lies in the third quadrant.
As the circle lies in third quadrant, then the centre is (-a, -a).
Perpendicular Distance (Between a point and line) = , whereas the point is and the line is expressed as ax + by + c = 0
The line which touches the circle is 3x−4y+8=0, which is a tangent to the circle.
∴ The perpendicular distance = a units (radius of the circle)
Co-ordinates of the centre of the circle = (-2,-2)
Since, the equation of a circle having centre (h,k), having radius as "r" units, is
(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2
(x – (-2))2 + (y – (-2))2 = 22
(x + 2)2 + (y + 2)2 = 4
x2 + 4x + 4 + y2 + 4y + 4 - 4 = 0
x2 + y2 + 4x + 4y + 4 = 0
The equation of the given circle is x2 + y2 + 4x + 4y + 4 = 0.

Equation of the circle,
x2 - 4x + y2 - 6y + 11 = 0
x2 - 4x + 4 + y2 - 6y + 9 +11 – 13 = 0
x2 - 2(2)x + 22 + y2 - 2(3)y + 32 +11 – 13 = 0
(x – 2)2 + (y – 3)2 = 2
(x – 2)2 + (y – 3)2 = (√2)2
Since, the equation of a circle having centre (h,k), having radius as "r" units, is
(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2
Centre = (2,3)
the centre point is the mid-point of the two ends of the diameter of a circle.
Let the points be (p,q)
p + 3 = 4 & q + 4 = 6
p = 1 & q = 2
Hence, the other ends of the diameter are (1,2).

Multiplying the first equation by 5,
15x + 5y = 70
2x + 5y = 18
13 x = 52, x = 4Putting x = 4, in first equation,
3(4) + y = 14
Y = 14 – 12 = 2
So, the point of intersection is (4,2)
Since, the equation of a circle having centre (h,k), having radius as "r" units, is
(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2
Putting the values of (4,2) and centre co-ordinates (1,-2) in the above expression,
(4 – 1)2 + (2 – (-2))2 = r2
32 + 42 = r2
r2 = 9 + 16 = 25
r = 5 units
So, the expression is
(x – 1)2 + (y – (-2))2 = 52
x2 - 2x + 1 + (y + 2)2 = 25
x2 - 2x + 1 + y2 + 4y + 4 = 25
x2 - 2x + y2 + 4y – 20 = 0
Hence the required expression is x2 - 2x + y2 + 4y – 20 = 0.
If the line touches the circle x2 + y2 = 16, then find the value of k.
Since, the equation of a circle having centre (h,k), having radius as "r" units, is
(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2
(x – 0)2 + (y – 0)2 = 42

(x – 3)2 + (y-(-6))2 - 30 = 0
(x – 3)2 + (y-(-6))2 = (√30)2
Since, the equation of a circle having centre (h,k), having radius as "r" units, is
(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2
Centre = (3,-6)
Area of inner circle = units square
Area of outer circle = units square {Given}
So,
r2 = 60
Equation of outer circle is,
(x – 3)2 + (y-(-6))2 = (√60)2
x2 - 6x + 9 + y2 - 12 y + 36 = 60
x2 - 6x + y2 +12y +45 – 60 = 0
x2 - 6x + y2 + 12y – 15 = 0
Hence, the required equation of the circle is x2 - 6x + y2 + 12y – 15 = 0.

Hypotenuse = √38 units (radius)
Since, the radius bisects the chord into two equal halves,
Since, the equation of a circle having centre (h,k), having radius as "r" units, is
(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2
(x – 3)2 + (y –(-1))2 = (√38)2

If a parabola has a vertical axis, the standard form of the equation of the parabola is (x - h)2 = 4p(y - k), where p≠ 0.
The vertex of this parabola is at (h, k).
The focus is at (h, k + p) & the directrix is the line y = k - p.
As the focus lies on x – axis,

So, for any point P(x, y) on the parabola
Distance of point from directrix = Distance of point from focus
x2 = (x – 6)2 + y2
x2 = x2 - 12x + 36 + y2
y2 - 12x + 36 = 0

Perpendicular Distance (Between a point and line) = , whereas the point is and the line is expressed as ax + by + c = 0 i.e.., x - 2y + 3 = 0 & point = (x,y)
Distance between the point of intersection & centre = [Distance Formula]
Squaring both the sides,
x2 + 4y2 + 9 - 4xy + 6x - 12y = 5 [x2 + 2x + 1 + y2 + 4y + 4]
x2 + 4y2 + 9 - 4xy + 6x- 12y = 5x2 + 10x + 5y2 + 20y + 25
