Study Notes
Finding the Equation of a Circle
- Circle equation format: (x^2+y^2+2gx+2fy+c=0).
- Centre of the circle is at (C(g, f)).
Conditions Given
- Circle passes through points (A(4,1)) and (B(6,5)).
- Centre lies on the line given by the equation (4x+3y-24=0).
Condition from Line Equation
- Substituting point (C(g,f)) into the line equation provides:
- (4g + 3f - 24 = 0).
Substituting Points into Circle Equation
-
For point (A(4,1)):
- Substituting values into the circle equation yields:
- (16 + 1 + 8g + 2f + c = 0 \rightarrow 8g + 2f + c + 17 = 0).
-
For point (B(6,5)):
- Substituting values also into the circle equation gives:
- (36 + 25 + 12g + 10f + c = 0 \rightarrow 12g + 10f + c + 61 = 0).
Summary of Equations
- From line condition: (4g + 3f - 24 = 0).
- Circle equation conditions:
- (8g + 2f + c + 17 = 0).
- (12g + 10f + c + 61 = 0).
Next Steps
- Solve the resulting system of equations to find values of (g), (f), and (c).
- Combine results to formulate the final equation of the circle.
