CIRCLES

Definition:
The set of points in a plane which are at a constant distance ‘r’ (≥ 0) from a fixed point C is
called a circle. The fixed point C is called the centre and the constant distance r is called the
radius of the circle.
c

radius

Note:
1. A circle is said to be a unit circle if its radius is one unit.
2. A circle is said to be a point circle if its radius is zero.

EQUATION OF A CIRCLE:

The equation of the circle with centre C(h, k) and radius r is (x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2.

Proof: Let P(x1, y1) be a point on the circle.


P lies in the circle ⇔ PC = r ⇔ (x1 − h)2 + (y1 − k)2 = r
⇔ (x1 – h)2 + (y1 – k)2 = r2.
The locus of P is (x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2.

∴ The equation of the circle is (x–h)2 + (y–k)2 = r2.------(1)

Note:
The equation of a circle with centre origin and radius r is (x–0)2 + (y–0)2 = r2 i.e.,x2 + y2 = r2
which is the standard equation of the circle.

Note:
On expanding equation (1), the equation of a circle is of the form x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0.

THEOREM
If g2 + f2 – c ≥ 0 then the equation x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 represents a circle with centre
(–g, –f) and radius g 2 + f 2 − c .

Note:
If g2 + f2 – c = 0 then the equation x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 becomes (x + g)2 + (y + f)2 = 0, a
point circle containing the point (–g, –f).

Note:
The equation x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 is called general equation of a circle.

THEOREM:
The equation of the circum circle of the triangle formed by the line ax + by + c = 0 with the
coordinate axes is ab(x2 + y2) + c(bx + ay) = 0.
Proof:
The intercepts of the given line ax + by + c = 0 are –c/a, –c/b. B(0, -c/b)
∴ Given line cuts the coordinate axes at A(–c/a, 0), B(0, –c/b).

PARAMETRIC EQUATIONS OF A CIRCLE


THEOREM
If P(x, y) is a point on the circle with centre C(α,β) and radius r, then x = α + r cos θ, y = β + r
sin θ where 0 ≤ θ < 2π.

Note:
The equations x = α + r cos θ, y = β + r sin θ, 0 ≤ θ < 2π are called parametric equations of the
circle with centre (α, β) and radius r.

Note:
A point on the circle x2 + y2 = r2 is taken in the form (r cos θ, r sin θ). The point (r cos θ, r sin θ)
is simply denoted as point θ.

THEOREM
(1) If g2 -c > 0 then the intercept made on the x axis by the circle x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0
is 2 g 2 − ac
2) If f2 – c > 0 then the intercept made on the y axis by the circle x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0
is 2 f 2 − bc

Proof:

Equation of the circle is x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0----(1)

www.sakshieducation.com
www.sakshieducation.com

Equation of x –axis is y = o.----(2)


From (1) and (2) , x2 + 2gx + c = 0, which is a quadratic equation in x.
The discriminant of this equation is 4 g 2 − c which is positive.
Therefore the equation has two real and distinct roots , say x1 and x2.
Now x1 + x 2 = −2 g , x1.x 2 = c

( x1 − x 2 ) = ( x1 + x 2 ) − 4x1x 2
2 2

= ( −2 g ) − 4 c = 4 ( g 2 − c )
2

now x1 − x2 = 2 g 2 − c
Similarly, the intercept made on the y axis by the circle x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 is
2 f 2 − bc

COROLLARY
The condition for the x-axis to touch the circle x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 (c > 0) is g2 = c.

COROLLARY
The condition of the y-axis to touch the circle x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 (c > 0) is f2 = c.

COROLLARY
The condition for the circle x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 to touch the coordinate axes is
g2 = f2 = c.
Note.
1. The equation of the circle passing through (0,0) will be of the form x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy = 0
2. The equation of the circle having centre on x axis is of the from x2 + y2 + 2gx + c = 0.

Substitute (-2,-8) in above equation, then (-2)2 + (-8)2 + 4(-2) +6(-8) – 12 = 0

4+64-8-48-12 =0 0 =0.

Hence, the points are concyclic and the equation of the circle is x2 + y2 + 4x +6y – 12 = 0

SA = SB => SA2 = SB2


=> ( 1 – h)2 + ( 2 –k)2 = ( -2 – h)2 + ( 8 –k)2
=> h2 + k2 – 2h-4k+5 = h2 + k2 + 4h-16k+68
=> 6h-12k+63 =0 --------(4)
SA = SC => SA2 = SC2
=> ( 1 – h)2 + ( 2 –k)2 = ( 7 – h)2 + ( -1 –k)2
=> h2 + k2 – 2h-4k+5 = h2 + k2-14h+2k+50

6. Show that the locus of the point of intersection of the lines x cos α + y sin α = a,
xsin α - y cos α = b(α is a parameter) is a circle.

Sol. Equations of the given lines are x cos α + y sin α= a; y sin α - y cos α = b
Let p(X1,Y1) be the point of intersection
x1 cos + y1 sin α = a – (1)

x1 sin α - y1 cos α = b –(2)

Squaring and adding (1) and (2)

(x1 cos α + y1 sin α)2 + (x1 sin α - y1 cos α)2 = α2 +b2


⇒ X12 + y12 = a 2 + b 2
Locus of p(x1, y1) is which represents a circle X2+y2 = a2 + b2
