The equation of the circle with centre ( h, k) and radius r is given by ;

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$

So Given Here

$(h,k)=(0,2)$

AND $r=2$

So the equation of the circle is:

$(x-0)^2+(y-2)^2=2^2$

$x^2+y^2-4y+4=4$

$x^2+y^2-4y=0$

Question:2 Find the equation of the circle with

As we know,

The equation of the circle with centre ( h, k) and radius r is given by ;

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$

So Given Here

$(h,k)=(-2,3)$

AND $r=4$

So the equation of the circle is:

$(x-(-2))^2+(y-3)^2=4^2$

$x^2+4x+4+y^2-6y+9=16$

$x^2+y^2+4x-6y-3=0$

Question:3 Find the equation of the circle with

centre $\left(\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{4} \right )$ and radius $\frac{1}{12}$

As we know,

The equation of the circle with center ( h, k) and radius r is give by ;

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$

So Given Here

$(h,k)=\left ( \frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{4} \right )$

AND

$r=\frac{1}{12}$

So the equation of circle is:

$\left ( x-\frac{1}{2}\right )^2+\left ( y-\frac{1}{4}\right )^2=\left ( \frac{1}{12}\right )^2$

$x^2-x+\frac{1}{4}+y^2-\frac{1}{2}y+\frac{1}{16}=\frac{1}{144}$

$x^2+y^2-x-\frac{1}{2}y-\frac{11}{36}=0$

$36x^2+36y^2-36x-18y-11=0$

Question:4 Find the equation of the circle with

centre (1,1) and radius $\sqrt2$

As we know,

The equation of the circle with centre ( h, k) and radius r is given by ;

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$

So Given Here

$(h,k)=(1,1)$

AND $r=\sqrt{2}$

So the equation of the circle is:

$(x-1)^2+(y-1)^2=(\sqrt{2})^2$

$x^2-2x+1+y^2-2y+1=2$

$x^2+y^2-2x-2y=0$

Question:5 Find the equation of the circle with

centre $(-a,-b)$ and radius $\sqrt{a^2 - b^2}$

As we know,

The equation of the circle with centre ( h, k) and radius r is given by ;

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$

So Given Here

$(h,k)=(-a,-b)$

AND $r=\sqrt{a^2-b^2}$

So the equation of the circle is:

$(x-(-a))^2+(y-(-b))^2=(\sqrt{a^2-b^2})^2$

$x^2+2ax+a^2+y^2+2by+b^2=a^2-b^2$

$x^2+y^2+2ax+2by+2b^2=0$

$(x+5)^2 + (y-3)^2 = 36$

As we know,

The equation of the circle with centre ( h, k) and radius r is given by ;

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$

Given here

$(x+5)^2 + (y-3)^2 = 36$

Can also be written in the form

$(x-(-5))^2 + (y-3)^2 = 6^2$

So, from comparing, we can see that

$r=6$

Hence the Radius of the circle is 6.

$x^2 + y^2 -4x - 8y - 45 = 0$

As we know,

The equation of the circle with centre ( h, k) and radius r is given by ;

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$

Given here

$x^2 + y^2 -4x - 8y - 45 = 0$

Can also be written in the form

$(x-2)^2 + (y-4)^2 =(\sqrt{65})^2$

So, from comparing, we can see that

$r=\sqrt{65}$

Hence the Radius of the circle is $\sqrt{65}$.

$x^2 + y^2 -8x +10y -12 = 0$

As we know,

The equation of the circle with centre ( h, k) and radius r is given by ;

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$

Given here

$x^2 + y^2 -8x +10y -12 = 0$

Can also be written in the form

$(x-4)^2 + (y-(-5))^2 = (\sqrt{53})^2$

So, from comparing, we can see that

$r=\sqrt{53}$

Hence the radius of the circle is $\sqrt{53}$.

$2x^2 + 2y^2 - x = 0$

As we know,

The equation of the circle with centre ( h, k) and radius r is given by ;

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$

Given here

$2x^2 + 2y^2 - x = 0$

Can also be written in the form

$\left ( x-\frac{1}{4}\right )^2 + \left ( y-0 \right )^2 = \left ( \frac{1}{4} \right )^2$

So, from comparing, we can see that

$r=\frac{1}{4}$

Hence Center of the circle is the $\left ( \frac{1}{4},0\right )$Radius of the circle is   $\frac{1}{4}$.

As we know,

The equation of the circle with centre ( h, k) and radius r is given by ;

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$

Given Here,

Condition 1: the circle passes through  points (4,1) and (6,5)

$(4-h)^2+(1-k)^2=r^2$

$(6-h)^2+(5-k)^2=r^2$

Here,

$(4-h)^2+(1-k)^2=(6-h)^2+(5-k)^2$

$(4-h)^2-(6-h)^2+(1-k)^2-(5-k)^2=0$

$(-2)(10-2h)+(-4)(6-2k)=0$

$-20+4h-24+8k=0$

$4h+8k=44$

Now, Condition 2:centre is on the line $4x + y = 16$.

$4h+k=16$

From condition 1 and condition 2

$h=3,\:k=4$

Now lets substitute this value of h and k in condition 1 to find out r

$(4-3)^2+(1-4)^2=r^2$

$1+9=r^2$

$r=\sqrt{10}$

So now, the Final Equation of the circle is

$(x-3)^2+(y-4)^2=(\sqrt{10})^2$

$x^2-6x+9+y^2-8y+16=10$

$x^2+y^2-6x-8y+15=0$

As we know,

The equation of the circle with centre ( h, k) and radius r is given by ;

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$

Given Here,

Condition 1: the circle passes through points   (2,3) and (–1,1)

$(2-h)^2+(3-k)^2=r^2$

$(-1-h)^2+(1-k)^2=r^2$

Here,

$(2-h)^2+(3-k)^2=(-1-h)^2+(1-k)^2$

$(2-h)^2-(-1-h)^2+(3-k)^2-(1-k)^2=0$

$(3)(1-2h)+(2)(4-2k)=0$

$3-6h+8-4k=0$

$6h+4k=11$

Now, Condition 2: centre is on the line.$x - 3y - 11 = 0$

$h-3k=11$

From condition 1 and condition 2

$h=\frac{7}{2},\:k=\frac{-5}{2}$

Now let's substitute this value of h and k in condition 1 to find out $r$

$\left ( 2-\frac{7}{2}\right )^2+\left (3+\frac{5}{2}\right )^2=r^2$

$\frac{9}{4}+\frac{121}{4}=r^2$

$r^2=\frac{130}{4}$

So now, the Final Equation of the circle is

$\left(x-\frac{7}{2}\right )^2+\left(y+\frac{5}{2}\right)^2=\frac{130}{4}$

$x^2-7x+\frac{49}{4}+y^2+5y+\frac{25}{4}=\frac{130}{4}$

$x^2+y^2-7x+5y-\frac{56}{4}=0$

$x^2+y^2-7x+5y-14=0$

As we know,

The equation of the circle with centre ( h, k) and radius r is given by ;

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$

So let the circle be,

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$

Since it's radius is 5 and its centre lies on x-axis,

$(x-h)^2+(y-0)^2=5^2$

And Since it passes through the point  (2,3).

$(2-h)^2+(3-0)^2=5^2$

$(2-h)^2=25-9$

$(2-h)^2=16$

$(2-h)=4\:or\:(2-h)=-4$

$h=-2\: or\;6$

When $h=-2\:$ ,The equation of the circle is :

$(x-(-2))^2+(y-0)^2=5^2$

$x^2+4x+4+y^2=25$

$x^2+y^2+4x-21=0$

When $h=6$ The equation of the circle is :

$(x-6)^2+(y-0)^2=5^2$

$x^2-12x+36+y^2=25$

$x^2+y^2-12x+11=0$

Let the equation of circle be,

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$

Now since this circle passes through (0,0)

$(0-h)^2+(0-k)^2=r^2$

$h^2+k^2=r^2$

Now, this circle makes an intercept of a and b on the coordinate axes.it means circle passes through the point (a,0) and (0,b)

So,

$(a-h)^2+(0-k)^2=r^2$

$a^2-2ah+h^2+k^2=r^2$

$a^2-2ah=0$

$a(a-2h)=0$

$a=0\:or\:a-2h=0$

Since $a\neq0\:so\:a-2h=0$

$h=\frac{a}{2}$

Similarly,

$(0-h)^2+(b-k)^2=r^2$

$h^2+b^2-2bk+k^2=r^2$

$b^2-2bk=0$

$b(b-2k)=0$

Since b is not equal to zero.

$k=\frac{b}{2}$

So Final equation of the Circle ;

$\left ( x-\frac{a}{2} \right )^2+\left ( y-\frac{b}{}2 \right )^2=\left ( \frac{a}{2} \right )^2+\left ( \frac{b}{2} \right )^2$

$x^2-ax+\frac{a^2}{4}+y^2-bx+\frac{b^2}{4}=\frac{a^2}{4}+\frac{b^2}{4}$

$x^2+y^2-ax-bx=0$

Let the equation of circle be :

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$

Now, since the centre of the circle is (2,2), our equation becomes

$(x-2)^2+(y-2)^2=r^2$

Now, Since this passes through the point (4,5)

$(4-2)^2+(5-2)^2=r^2$

$4+9=r^2$

$r^2=13$

Hence  The Final equation of the circle becomes

$(x-2)^2+(y-2)^2=13$

$x^2-4x+4+y^2-4y+4=13$

$x^2+y^2-4x-4y-5=0$

Given, a circle

$x^2 + y^2 = 25$

As we can see center of the circle is ( 0,0)

Now the distance between (0,0) and (–2.5, 3.5) is

$d=\sqrt{(-2.5-0)^2+(3.5-0)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{6.25+12.25}$

$d=\sqrt{18.5}\approx 4.3$$d=\sqrt{18.5}\approx 4.3<5$

Since distance between the given point and center of the circle is less than radius of the circle, the point lie inside the circle.

Here,

Focus is of the form (a, 0), which means it lies on the X-axis. And Directrix is of the form $x=-a$ which means it lies left to the Y-Axis.

These are the condition when the standard equation of a parabola is.$y^2=4ax$

Hence the Equation of Parabola is

$y^2=4ax$

Here, it can be seen that:

$a=6$

Hence the Equation of the Parabola is:

$\Rightarrow y^2=4ax\Rightarrow y^2=4(6)x$

$y^2=4ax$

Now since it passes through (2,3)

$3^2=4a(2)$

$x^2=4ay$

Now since this parabola is passing through (5,2)

$5^2=4a(2)$

$25=8a$

$a=\frac{25}{8}$

Hence the equation of the parabola is

$\Rightarrow x^2=4\left ( \frac{25}{8} \right )y$

$\Rightarrow x^2=\left ( \frac{25}{2} \right )y$

$\Rightarrow 2x^2=25y$

$\frac{2b^2}{a}=\frac{2(3)^2}{4}=\frac{18}{4}=\frac{9}{2}$

$\frac{x^2}{25} + \frac{y^2}{100} = 1$

Given

The equation of the ellipse

$\frac{x^2}{25} + \frac{y^2}{100} = 1$

$a^2+4a=45$

$a^2+9a-5a-45=0$

$(a+9)(a-5)=0$

$a=-9\:or\:5$

Since $a$ can never be negative,

Now, As we know the relation  in a hyperbola

$c^2=a^2+b^2$

$b^2=c^2-a^2$

$b^2=\left(\frac{28}{3}\right)^2-7^2$

$b^2=\left(\frac{784}{9}\right)-49$

$b^2=\left(\frac{784-441}{9}\right)=\frac{343}{9}$

$a^2+b^2=10\:\:\:\:\:\:\:....(1)$

Now As the hyperbola passes through the point (2,3)

$\frac{3^2}{a^2}-\frac{2^2}{b^2}=1$

$9b^2-4a^2=a^2b^2\:\;\;\:\:\;\:....(2)$

Solving Equation (1) and (2)

$9(10-a^2)-4a^2=a^2(10-a^2)$

$a^4-23a^2+90=0$

$(a^2)^2-18a^2-5a^2+90=0$

$(a^2-18)(a^2-5)=0$

NCERT solutions for class 11 maths chapter 11 conic sections-Miscellaneous Exercise

Le the parabolic reflector opens towards the right.

So the equation of parabolic reflector will be,

$y^2=4ax$

Now, Since this curve will pass through the point (5,10) if we assume origin at the optical centre,

So

$10^2=4a(5)$

$a=\frac{100}{20}=5$

Hence, The focus of the parabola is,

$(a,0)=(5,0)$.

Alternative Method,

As we know on any concave curve

$f=\frac{R}{2}$

Hence, Focus

$f=\frac{R}{2}=\frac{10}{2}=5$.

Hence the focus is 5 cm right to the optical centre.

Since the Axis of the parabola is vertical, Let the equation of the parabola be,

$x^2=4ay$

it can be seen that this curve will pass through the point (5/2, 10) if we assume origin at the bottom end of the parabolic arch.

So,

$\left(\frac{5}{2}\right)^2=4a(10)$

$a=\frac{25}{160}=\frac{5}{32}$

Hence, the equation of the parabola is

$x^2=4\times\frac{5}{32}\times y$

$x^2=\frac{20}{32} y$

$x^2=\frac{5}{8} y$

Now, when y = 2 the value of x will be

$x=\sqrt{(\frac{5}{8}\times2)}=\sqrt{\frac{5}{4}}=\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}$

Hence the width of the arch at this height is

$2x=2\times\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}=\sqrt{5}.$

Given,

The width of the parabolic cable = 100m

The length of the shorter supportive wire attached =  6m

The length of the longer supportive wire attached = 30m

Since the rope opens towards upwards, the equation will be of the form

$x^2=4ay$

Now if we consider origin at the centre of the rope, the equation of the curve will pass through points, (50,30-6)=(50,24)

$24^2=4a50$

$a=\frac{625}{24}$

Hence the equation of the parabola is

$x^2=4\times \frac{625}{24}\times y$

$x^2= \frac{625}{6}\times y$

Now at a point, 18 m right from the centre of the rope, the x coordinate of that point will be 18, so by the equation, the y-coordinate will be

$y=\frac{x^2}{4a}=\frac{18^2}{4\times \frac{625}{6}}\approx 3.11m$

Hence the length of the supporting wire attached to roadway from the middle is 3.11+6=9.11m.

The equation of the semi-ellipse will be of the form

$\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1\:,y>0$

Now, According to the question,

the length of major axis = 2a = 8  $\Rightarrow a=4$

The length of the semimajor axis =2$\Rightarrow b=2$

Hence the equation will be,

$\frac{x^2}{4^2}+\frac{y^2}{2^2}=1\:,y>0$

$\frac{x^2}{16}+\frac{y^2}{4}=1\:,y>0$

Now, at point 1.5 cm from the end, the x coordinate is 4-1.5 = 2.5

So, the height at this point is

$\frac{(2.5)^2}{16}+\frac{y^2}{4}=1\Rightarrow y=\sqrt{4(1-\frac{2.5^2}{16})}$

$y\approx 1.56m$

Hence the height of the required point is 1.56 m.

Let $\theta$ be the angle that rod makes with the ground,

Now, at a point 3 cm from the end,

$\cos\theta=\frac{x}{9}$

At the point touching the ground

$\sin\theta=\frac{y}{3}$

Now, As we know the trigonometric identity,

$\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta=1$

$\left (\frac{x}{9} \right )^2+\left ( \frac{y}{3} \right )^2=1$

$\frac{x^2}{81}+\frac{y^2}{9}=1$

Hence the equation is,

$\frac{x^2}{81}+\frac{y^2}{9}=1$

Given the parabola,

$x^2=12y$

Comparing this equation with $x^2=4ay$, we get

$a=3$

Now, As we know the coordinates of ends of latus rectum are:

$(2a,a)\:and\:(-2a,a)$

So, the coordinates of latus rectum are,

$(2a,a)\:and\:(-2a,a)=(6,3)\:and\:(-6,3)$

Now the area of the triangle with coordinates (0,0),(6,3) and (-6,3)

Widht of the triangle = 2*6=12

Height of the triangle = 3

So The area =

$\frac{1}{2}\times base\times height=\frac{1}{2}\times12\times3=18$

Hence the required area is 18 unit square.

As we know that if a point moves in a plane in such a way that its distance from two-point remain constant then the path is an ellipse.

Now, According to the question,

the distance between the point from where the sum of  the distance from a point is constant =  10

$\Rightarrow 2a=10\Rightarrow a=5$

Now, the distance between the foci=8

$\Rightarrow 2c=8\Rightarrow c=4$

Now, As we know the relation,

$c^2=a^2-b^2$

$b^2=a^2-c^2$

$b=\sqrt{a^2-c^2}=\sqrt{5^2-4^2}=\sqrt{25-16}=\sqrt{9}=3$

Hence the equation of the ellipse is,

$\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$

$\Rightarrow \frac{x^2}{5^2}+\frac{y^2}{3^2}=1$

$\Rightarrow \frac{x^2}{25}+\frac{y^2}{9}=1$

Hence the path of the man will be

$\Rightarrow \frac{x^2}{25}+\frac{y^2}{9}=1$

Given, an equilateral triangle inscribed in parabola with the equation.$y^2 = 4 ax$

The one coordinate of the triangle is A(0,0).

Now, let the other two coordinates of the triangle are

$B(x,\sqrt{4ax})$ and $C(x,-\sqrt{4ax})$

Now, Since the triangle is equilateral,

$BC=AB=CA$

$2\sqrt{4ax}=\sqrt{(x-0)^2+(\sqrt{4ax}-0)^2}$

$x^2=12ax$

$x=12a$

The coordinates of the points of the equilateral triangle are,

$(0,0),(12,\sqrt{4a\times 12a}),(12,-\sqrt{4a\times 12a})=(0,0),(12,4\sqrt{3}a)\:and\:(12,-4\sqrt{3}a)$

So, the side of the triangle is

$2\sqrt{4ax}=2\times4\sqrt{3}a=8\sqrt{3}a$
