the locus of centres of all circles which touch the line x=2a and cut the circle x^2+y^2=a^2 orthogonally is
Let equation of circle be x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0,where centre is (– g,– f) and radius is x – 2a = 0 is a tangent to the circle. perpendicular distance from centre to the line is equal to the radius of the circle.|– g – 2a| = ….(1)The circle cuts given circle orthogonally. 2g1g2 + 2f1f2 = c1 + c2 2(-g)(0) + 2(-f)(0) = c – a2 c = a2(1) becomes |g + 2a| = Square both sides.g2 + 4ag + 4a2 = g2 + f2 – a2f2 = 4ag + 5a2Replace –g by x and –f by y i.e. g by –x and f by –y y2 = – 4ax + 5a2 i.e.y2 + 4ax – 5a2 = 0 is the required locus of the centres of the circles.
