Ex. 2 Find the parametric equations of the circle x2 + y2 – 4x – 2y + 1 = 0

Sol. We have : x2 + y2 – 4x – 2y + 1 = 0

Ex. 5 If the straight line ax + by = 2; a, b  0 touches the circle x2 + y2 – 2x = 3 and is normal to the circle x2 + y2 – 4y = 6,
then find the values of a and b are respectively.
Sol. Given x2 + y2 – 2x = 3
 centre is (1, 0) and radius is 2
Given x2 + y2 – 4y = 6
 centre is (0, 2) and radius is 10 . Since line ax + by = 2 touches the first circle

 2 or |(a – 2)| = [2 a 2  b 2 ] ......... (i)

Also the given line is normal to the second circle. Hence it will pass through the centre of the second circle.
 a(0) + b(2) = 2 or 2b = 2 or b = 1

Putting this value in equation (i) we get |a – 2| = 2 a 2  1 2 or (a – 2)2 = 4(a2 + 1)

Sol. Pair of normals are (x + 2y)(x + 3) = 0
 Normals are x + 2y = 0, x + 3 = 0.
Point of intersection of normals is the centre of required circle i.e. C1(–3, 3/2) and centre of given circle is C2(2, 3/2)

Let P() be the pole of line (ii) with respect to circle (i)
Now equation of polar of point P() with respect to circle (i) is
x + y + 2(x + ) + 3(y +) + 9 = 0
or ( + 2)x + ( + 3) y + 2 + 3 + 9 = 0

Sol. The equation of the circle through the intersection of the given circles is
x2 + y2 – 4x – 6y – 12 + (–10x – 10y) = 0 ...... (i)
where (–10x – 10y = 0) is the equation of radical axis for the circle
x2 + y2 – 4x – 6y – 12 = 0 and x2 + y2 + 6x + 4y – 12 = 0.

x2 + y2 – x(10 + 4) – y(10 + 6) – 12 = 0
