Let the mirror image of a circle c1:x2+y2−2x−6y+α=0c_{1}: x^{2}+y^{2}-2 x-6 y+\alpha=0 in line y=x+1y=x+1 be c2:5x2+5y2+10gx+10fy+38=0c_{2}: 5 x^{2}+5 y^{2}+10 g x+10 f y+38=0 . If r\mathrm{r} is the radius of circle c2\mathrm{c}_{2} , then α+6r2\alpha+6 \mathrm{r}^{2} is equal to ________.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

c1:x2+y2−2x−6y+α=0{c_1}:{x^2} + {y^2} - 2x - 6y + \alpha = 0

Then centre =(1,3)= (1,3) and radius (r)=10−α(r) = \sqrt {10 - \alpha }

Image of (1,3)(1,3) w.r.t. line x−y+1=0x - y + 1 = 0 is (2,2)(2,2)

c2:5x2+5y2+10gx+10fy+38=0{c_2}:5{x^2} + 5{y^2} + 10gx + 10fy + 38 = 0

or x2+y2+2gx+2fy+385=0{x^2} + {y^2} + 2gx + 2fy + {{38} \over 5} = 0

Then (−g,−f)=(2,2)( - g, - f) = (2,2)

∴\therefore g=f=−2g = f = - 2 .......... (i)

Radius of c2=r=4+4−385=10−α{c_2} = r = \sqrt {4 + 4 - {{38} \over 5}} = \sqrt {10 - \alpha }

⇒25=10−α\Rightarrow {2 \over 5} = 10 - \alpha

∴\therefore α=485\alpha = {{48} \over 5} and r=25r = \sqrt {{2 \over 5}}

∴\therefore α+6r2=485+125=12\alpha + 6{r^2} = {{48} \over 5} + {{12} \over 5} = 12
