Find the value of " k" so that the straight line 4x+3y+k=0 may touch the circle X2+y2-4x+10y+4=0.
Answers
Given,
The equation of a circle:
We know that ,
Standard, equation of circle is :
its center is = (-g,-f)
Now, by comparing eqn(1) with standard equation, we will get,
g = -2
f = 5
c = 4
So,
center = (2,-5)
Again given that,
4x+3y+k=0 line touches the circle.
So, we can write that,
distance between center and line = radius of circle.
According to the question,
So,
Answer:
The values of k are 32, -18.
Step-by-step explanation:
General equation of circle:
The general equation of circle is as
x²+y²+2gx+2fy+c = 0 with
center = (-g,-f) and radius =
Distance between a point and a line:
Let the line equation be ax+by+c = 0 and the point = (x₁,y₁)
then the distance between the point and the line is .
Given circle equation is
x²+y²-4x+10y+4 = 0
x²+y²+2(-2)x+2(5)y+4 = 0 -------(i)
compare equation(i) with the general equation of circle we get
g = -2, f = 2, c = 4
center = (-g,-f) = (2,-5)
radius =
= √(4+25-4
= √25
radius = 5
- Given straight line is 4x+3y+k = 0 and the given condition is straight line touches the circle.
- If a line touches the circle then the radius of circle is equal to the distance from center of circle to the line equation.
- Distance from center (2,-5) of circle to the line is given by
(|4(2)+3(-5)+k|)/√(4²+3²) = (|8-15+k|)/√(16+9)
= (|-7+k|)/(√25)
= |k-7|/5
As, Radius = distance from center tot he circle
5 = |k-7|/5
25 = |k-7|
|k-7| = 25
k-7 = ±25
k-7 = +25 or k-7 = -25
k = 25+7 or k = -25+7
k = 32 or k = -18
Hence , the values of k are 32, -18.
