Two vertices of a triangle ABC\mathrm{ABC} are A(3,−1)\mathrm{A}(3,-1) and B(−2,3)\mathrm{B}(-2,3) , and its orthocentre is P(1,1)\mathrm{P}(1,1) . If the coordinates of the point C\mathrm{C} are (α,β)(\alpha, \beta) and the centre of the of the circle circumscribing the triangle PAB\mathrm{PAB} is (h,k)(\mathrm{h}, \mathrm{k}) , then the value of (α+β)+2( h+k)(\alpha+\beta)+2(\mathrm{~h}+\mathrm{k}) equals

amp;BC:y=x+5amp;mBP=2−3=−23amp;∴mAC=32amp;AC:y=32x−112⇒2y=3x−11amp;∴C:(21,26)\begin{aligned}& B C: y=x+5 \\& m_{B P}=\frac{2}{-3}=\frac{-2}{3} \\& \therefore m_{A C}=\frac{3}{2} \\& A C: y=\frac{3}{2} x-\frac{11}{2} \quad \Rightarrow 2 y=3 x-11 \\& \therefore \quad C:(21,26)\end{aligned}

Let the circumcentre be (h,k)(h, k)

amp;(h−1)2+(k−1)2=(h+2)2+(k−3)2... (i)amp;(h−1)2+(k−1)2=(h−3)2+(k+1)2... (ii)\begin{aligned}& (h-1)^2+(k-1)^2=(h+2)^2+(k-3)^2 \quad \text{... (i)}\\& (h-1)^2+(k-1)^2=(h-3)^2+(k+1)^2 \quad \text{... (ii)}\end{aligned}

Solving (i) and (ii)

amp;h=−192,k=−232amp;α+β+2(h+k)amp;=21+26−19−23amp;=2+3=5\begin{aligned}& h=\frac{-19}{2}, k=\frac{-23}{2} \\& \alpha+\beta+2(h+k) \\& =21+26-19-23 \\& =2+3=5\end{aligned}
