Exercise 24.2

Find the coordinates of the centre radius of each of the following circle: \[\begin{array}{*{35}{l}} \left( \mathbf{i} \right)\text{ }{{\mathbf{x}}^{\mathbf{2}}}~+\text{ }{{\mathbf{y}}^{\mathbf{2}}}~+\text{ }\mathbf{6x}\text{ }\text{ }-\mathbf{8y}\text{ }-\text{ }\mathbf{24}\text{ }=\text{ }\mathbf{0} \\ \left( \mathbf{ii} \right)\text{ }\mathbf{2}{{\mathbf{x}}^{\mathbf{2}}}~+\text{ }\mathbf{2}{{\mathbf{y}}^{\mathbf{2}}}~-\text{ }\mathbf{3x}\text{ }+\text{ }\mathbf{5y}\text{ }=\text{ }\mathbf{7} \\ \end{array}\]

(i) The equation of the circle is x2 + y2 + 6x – 8y – 24 = 0 …… (1) Since, for a circle x2 + y2 + 2ax + 2by + c = 0 …… (2) Centre = (-a, -b) So by comparing equation (1) and (2) Centre =...
