Mathematics Question on Circle
Circle in 1st quadrant touches both the axes at A & B. If length of perpendicular from P(α,β) on circle to chord AB is equal to 11. Find α.β
Answer
C : (x - r)2 + (y-r)2 = r2;
α2 + β2 - 2r(α + β) + r2 = 0
α2 + β2 - 2r(112 + r) + r2 = 0
α2 + β2 - 222r - r2 = 0
PF = 2α+β−r = 11
α + B = 112 + r
α2 + β2 + 2αβ = 242 + r2 + 22r2
αβ = 121
So, the answer is 121.
