Question Number 174094 by nadovic last updated on 24/Jul/22

The circles x^2 +y^2 −2ax+8y+13=0  and x^2 +y^2 +2x+2by+1=0 are   congruent. If they are 2(√(10)) units   apart, find the possible values of  a and b.

$$\mathrm{The}\:\mathrm{circles}\:{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +{y}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{2}{ax}+\mathrm{8}{y}+\mathrm{13}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\mathrm{and}\:{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +{y}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2}{x}+\mathrm{2}{by}+\mathrm{1}=\mathrm{0}\:\mathrm{are}\: \\ $$$$\mathrm{congruent}.\:\mathrm{If}\:\mathrm{they}\:\mathrm{are}\:\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{10}}\:\mathrm{units}\: \\ $$$$\mathrm{apart},\:\mathrm{find}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{possible}\:\mathrm{values}\:\mathrm{of} \\ $$$${a}\:\mathrm{and}\:{b}. \\ $$

(x−a)^2 +(y+4)^2 =a^2 +3          (C1)  (x+1)^2 +(y+b)^2 =b^2    (C2)  C1 and C2 are congruants then  a^2 +3=b^2      ⇒ b=(√(a^2 +3))   (a,b)εR^2   exemple   a=1    b=2                         a=0    b=(√3)   ...........
