(a – 3) 2 + (b + 4) 2 – 9 – 16 – 14 = 0
(a – 3) 2 + (b + 4) 2 – 39 = 0
(a – 3) 2 + (b + 4) 2 = 39
(a – 3) 2 + (b – (- 4)) 2 = 39
Which is of the form (a – h) 2 + (b – k) 2 = r2, where h = 3, k = 4 and r = \(\sqrt{39}\).

Q.10: The circle passing through the points (6, 2) and (4, 3) and whose centre lies on the line 2a + y = 8. Find the equation of the circle.
Answer: Based on formulae given in conic sections
The equation of a required circle with centre (h, k) and radius r is given as
(a – h)2 + (b – k)2 = r2
As the circle passes through (6, 2) and (4, 3)
(6 – h)2 + (2 – k)2 = r2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (1)
(4 – h)2 + (3 – k)2 = r2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (2)
The centre (h, k) of the circle lies on the line 2a + y = 8,
2h + k = 8 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (3)
Now, On Comparing equations 1 and 2, we will get:
(6 – h)2 + (2 – k)2 = (4 – h)2 + (3 – k)2
36 – 12h + h2 + 4 – 4k + k2 = 16 – 8h + h2 + 9 – 6k + k2
36 – 12h + 4 – 4k = 16 – 8h + 9 – 6k
– 12h – 4k + 8h + 6k = 16 + 9 – 36 – 4
4h – 2k = 15 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (4)
Now, on Answerving Equations (3) and (4), we will get:
h = \(\frac{31}{8}\)
k = \(\frac{1}{4}\)
Substituting the values of h and k in equation (1), we will get:
(6 – \(\frac{31}{8}\))2 + (2 – \(\frac{1}{4}\))2 = r2
\(\\(\frac{17}{8})^{2} + (\frac{7}{4})^{2} = r^{2}\)\(\\\Rightarrow\) \(\frac{289}{64} + \frac{49}{16} = r^{2}\)
\(\\\Rightarrow\) \(\frac{289 + 196}{64} = r^{2}\)
\(\\\Rightarrow\) \(\frac{485}{64} = r^{2}\)
\(\Rightarrow\) r = 7.57
The required equation is:
(a – \(\frac{31}{8}\))2 + (b – \(\frac{1}{4}\))2 = r2
(a – \(\frac{31}{8}\))2 + (b – \(\frac{1}{4}\))2 = 7.572
\((a – \frac{31}{8})^{2} + (b – \frac{1}{4})^{2} = 7.57^{2} \\\)\(\\\Rightarrow\) \(a^{2} – \frac{31}{4}a + (\frac{31}{8})^{2} + b^{2} – \frac{b}{2} + \frac{1}{16} = 57.30\\\)
\(\\\Rightarrow\) \(a^{2} – \frac{31}{4}a + \frac{961}{64} + b^{2} – \frac{b}{2} + \frac{1}{16} =57.30\)
Therefore, the required equation is: 64a2– 496a + 64b2 -32b = 2702.51
Q.11: The circle passing through the points (3, 2) and (-2, 2) and whose centre lies on the line a – 3y – 13 = 0. Find the equation of the circle.
Answer: Based on formulae given in conic sections
The General equation of a circle with centre (h, k) and radius r is:
(a – h)2 + (b – k)2 = r2
As the circle passes through (3, 2) and (-2, 1)
(3 – h)2 + (2 – k)2 = r2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (1)
(-2 – h)2 + (2 – k)2 = r2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (2)
The centre (h, k) of the circle lies on the line a – 3y – 13 = 0,
h – 3k = 13 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (3)
Now, on comparing equations 1 and 2, we will get:
(3 – h)2 + (2 – k)2 = (-2 – h)2 + (2 – k)2
9 – 6h + h2 = 4 + 4h + h2
9 – 6h = 4 + 4h
h = 0.5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (4)
Now, on solving equation (3), we will get:
k = – \(\frac{25}{6}\) = – 4.166
Now, on substituting the values of h and k in equation (1), we will get:
(3 – 0.5)2 + (2 – (- \(\frac{25}{6}\)))2 = r2
(2.5) 2 + (2 + \(\frac{25}{6}\))2 = r2
(2.5) 2 + (2 + 4.16)2 = r2
(2.5) 2 + (6.16)2 = r2
r2 = 44.1956
r = 6.65
The required equation is:
(a – h)2 + (b – k)2 = r2
(a – 0.5)2 + (b – (- 4.16))2 = r2
(a – 0.5)2 + (b + 4.16)2 = r2
a2 – a + 6.25 + b2 + 8.32b + 17.30 = 44.19
a2 – a + b2 + 8.32b = 44.19 – 6.25 – 17.30
a2 + b2 – a + 8.32b – 20.64 = 0
Q.12: The radius of the circle is 6 whose centre lies on x – axis and passes through the point (3, 2). Find the equation.
Answer: Based on formulae given in conic sections
Given in the question:
The radius of the circle is 6 and passes through the point (3, 2)
The General equation of a circle with centre (h, k) and radius r is:
(a – h)2 + (b – k)2 = r2
As, the centre lies on x – axis, k = 0, the equation becomes:
(a – h) 2 + b 2 = 36
(3 – h) 2 + 22 = 36
(3 – h) 2 = 36 – 4
3 – h = \(\sqrt{32}\)
h = \(3 + 4\sqrt{2}\) or h = \(3 – 4\sqrt{2}\)
Q.13: The circle passing through (0, 0) and making intercepts a and b on the coordinate axes. Find the equation of the circle.
Answer: Based on formulae given in conic sections
Suppose, the equation of the required circle be (x – h) 2 + (y – k) 2 = r 2
The centre of the circle passes through (0, 0):
(0 – h) 2 + (0 – k) 2 = r 2
h 2 + k 2 = r 2
Therefore, the equation of the circle is:
(x – h) 2 + (y – k) 2 = h 2 + k 2 .
Given in the question, the circle makes intercepts a and b on the coordinate axes.
The circle passes through points (a, 0) and (0, b).
Therefore, (a – h) 2 + (0 – k) 2 = h 2 + k 2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (1)
(0 – h) 2 + (b – k) 2 = h 2 + k 2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (2)
Now, from equation (1), we obtain:
a 2 – 2ah + h 2 + k 2 = h 2 + k 2
a 2 – 2ah = 0
a (a – 2h) = 0
a = 0 or (a – 2h) = 0
We know, a ≠ 0; hence, (a – 2h) = 0 ⇒ h =a/2.
Now, from equation (2), we will get:
h 2 + b 2 – 2bk + k 2 = h 2 + k 2
b 2 – 2bk = 0
b (b – 2k) = 0
b = 0 or(b – 2k) = 0
However, b ≠ 0;
Therefore, (b – 2k) = 0 ⇒ k =b/2.
Thus, the equation of the required circle is:
\((x – \frac{a}{2})^{2} + (y – \frac{b}{2})^{2} = (\frac{a}{2})^{2} + (\frac{b}{2})^{2} \\ (\frac{2x – a}{2})^{2} + (\frac{2y – b}{2})^{2} = \frac{a^{2} + b^{2}}{2} \\ 4x^{2} – 4ax + a^{2} + 4y^{2} – 4bx + b^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2} \\ 4x^{2} + 4y^{2} – 4ax – 4by = 0 \\ x^{2} + y^{2} – ax – by = 0\)
Q.14: The circle with centre (3, 3) and passes through the point (6, 5), find the equation of a circle?
Answer: Based on formulae given in conic sections
Given in the question:
The centre of the circle (h, k) = (3, 3).
As the circle passes through point (6, 5), the radius (r) of the circle is the distance between the points (2, 2) and (6, 5).
\(r = \sqrt{(3 – 6)^{2} + (3 – 5)^{2}} + \sqrt{(- 3)^{2} + (- 2)^{2}} = \sqrt{9 + 4} = \sqrt{13}\\\)Therefore, the equation of the circle is:
\(\\(a – h)^{2} + (b – k)^{2} = r^{2} \\ (a – 3)^{2} + (b – 3)^{2} = \sqrt{13}^{2} \\ a^{2} – 6a + 9 + b^{2} – 6b + 9 = 13 \\ a^{2} + b^{2} – 6a – 6b + 18 – 13 = 0 \\ a^{2} + b^{2} – 6a – 6b + 5 = 0 \)
Q.15: Check whether the point (–2.0, 3.0) lies inside, outside or on the circle x 2 + y 2 = 25?
Answer: Based on formulae given in conic sections
Given in the question:
The equation of the given circle is x 2 + y 2 = 25
x 2 + y 2 = 25
(x – 0)2 + (y – 0)2 = 52 , which is of the form (a – h) 2 + (b – k) 2 = r2, where h = 0, k = 0, and r = 5.
Centre = (0, 0) and radius = 5
Distance between point (– 2.0, 3.0) and centre (0, 0)
\(\sqrt{(- 2 – 0)^{2} + (3 – 0)^{2}}\\\)=\(\sqrt{4 + 9} = \sqrt{13} = 3.60 (approx.) < 5\)
As, the distance between point (– 2.0, 3.0) and centre (0, 0) of the circle is less than the radius of the circle, point (– 2.0, 3.0) lies inside the circle.

Directrix equation, y = a = 5
Therefore, Length of the latus rectum = 4a = 4 × 5 = 20

So, x + 6 = 0
Therefore, Length of the latus rectum = 4a = 4 × 6 = 24

As the coefficient of y is negative, the given parabola has the opening downwards.
By comparing this equation with x2 = – 4ay, we get:
– 4a = – 7 ⇒ a = \(\frac{7}{4}\)
Therefore, focus coordinates = (0, a) = (0, \(\frac{7}{4}\))
The given equation has x2, the y – axis is the axis of the parabola.
Directrix equation, y = a = \(\frac{7}{4}\)
Therefore, Length of the latus rectum = 4a = 4 × \(\frac{7}{4}\) = 7

The axis of the given parabola is the x – axis as the focus is represented on the x – axis.
The required equation can be either y2 = 4ax and y2 = – 4ax
As we know, directrix (x) = – 8
As the coefficient of x is negative, the given parabola has the opening on the left side and the focus (8, 0)
Therefore, the equation of the parabola = y2 = 4ax,
Here, a = 8
Thus, the equation of the parabola = y2 = 32 x.

As we know, focus is (- 3, 0)
Here, a = 3
Thus, the equation of the parabola = y2 = – 12 x
Q.11: Obtain the equation of the parabola which satisfies the given conditions below:
(i) Vertex is at origin.
(ii) Passing through coordinates = (3, 5)
The axis of the parabola is on x – axis.
Answer: Based on formulae given in conic sections
Given in the question:
(i) Vertex is at origin i.e., (0, 0)
(ii) Passing through coordinates = (3, 5)
As the vertex of a parabola lies at origin and the passing through coordinates = (3, 5).
The required equation is either y2 = 4ax or y2 = – 4ax
The coordinates (3, 5) is in first quadrant.
Therefore, the equation of the parabola = y2 = 4ax, whereas (3, 5) should satisfy the equation
So,
52 = 4a (3)
25 = 12 a
a = \(\frac{25}{12}\)
The parabola’s equation is:
y2 = 4 (\(\frac{25}{12}\)) x
3 y2 = 25 x
Q.12: Obtain the equation of the parabola which satisfies the given conditions below:

Answer: Based on formulae given in conic sections
Given in the question:
(i) Vertex is at origin i.e., (0, 0)
(ii) Passing through coordinates = (6, 4)
As the vertex of a parabola lies at origin and the passing through coordinates = (6, 4).
The required equation is either x2 = 4ay or x2 = – 4ay
The coordinates (6, 4) is in first quadrant.
Therefore, the equation of the parabola = x2 = 4ay, whereas (6, 4) should satisfy the equation
So,
62 = 4a (4)
36 = 16 a
a = \(\frac{36}{16}\)
a = \(\frac{9}{4}\)
The parabola’s equation is:
x2 = 4(\(\frac{9}{4}\))y
x2 = 9 y
