Q1.FNCERT Solutions of class 11 maths chapter 11ind the equation of the circle with center (0,2) and radius 2.
Solution. The standard equation of the circle is
(x – h)² + (y – k)² = r²
Where (h,k) are the coordinates of the circle and r is the radius of the circle
It is given that center (h,k) = (0,2) and radius (r)=2
Therefore, equation of the circle is
(x – 0)² + (y – 2)² = (2)²
x² + y² + 4 – 4y = 4
x² + y² – 4y = 0
Q2.Find the equation of the circle with center (-2,3) and radius 4.
Ans. The equation of the circle with centre (h,k) and radius r is given as
(x – h)² + (y – k)² = r²
It is given that center (h,k) = (-2,3) and radius (r)= 4
Therefore, equation of the circle is
(x + 2)² + (y – 3)² = (4)²
x² + 4x² + 4 + y² – 6y + 9 = 16
x² + y² + 4x – 6y – 3 = 0
Q3. Find the equation of the circle with the centre (1/2, 1/4) and radius 1/12.
Ans. The equation of the circle with center (h,k) and radius r is given as
(x – h)² + (y – k)² = r²
It is given that center (h,k) = (-1/2,1/4) and radius (r)= 1/12
Therefore, the equation of the circle is
144x² – 144x+ 36 + 144y² – 72y +9 – 1 = 0
144x² – 144x + 144y² – 72y + 44 = 0
36x² – 36x+ 36y² – 18y + 11 = 0
36x² + 36y² – 36x – 18y + 11 = 0
Q4. Find the equation of the circle with the center (1,1) and radius √2.
Ans. The equation of the circle with center (h,k) and radius r is given as
(x – h)² + (y – k)² = r²
It is given that center (h,k) = (1,1) and radius (r)=√2
Therefore, the equation of the circle is
(x – 1)² + (y – 1)² = (√2)²
x² – 2x +1 + y² – 2y + 1 = 2
x² + y² – 2x – 2y = 0
Q5. Find the equation of the circle with the center (-a,-b) and radius √(a² – b²).
Ans. The equation of the circle with center (h,k) and radius r is given as
(x – h)² + (y – k)² = r²
It is given that center (h,k) = (-a,-b) and radius (r)= √(a² – b²)
Therefore, the equation of the circle is
(x + a)² + (y + b)² = [√(a² – b²)]²
x² + 2ax + a² + y² + 2by + b² = a² – b²
x² + a² + 2ax + y² + b² + 2by = a² – b²
x² + y² + 2ax + 2by + 2b² = 0
Q6. Find the circle and radius of the circle (x + 5)² + (y – 3)² = 36
Ans. The equation of the given circle is
(x + 5)² + (y – 3)² = 36
{x -(- 5)}² + (y – 3)² = 6²
Which is of the form (x – h)² + (y – k)² = r², where h = -5, k = 3, and r = 3.
Thus, the center of given circle is (-5,3) while its radius is 6.
Q7. Find the circle and radius of the circle x² + y² – 4x – 8y – 45 = 0
Ans. The equation of the circle is
x² + y² – 4x – 8y – 45 = 0
(x² – 4x)+ (y² – 8y) = 45
{x² – 2(x)(2) + 2²} + {y² – 2(y)(4) + 4²} – 4 – 16 = 45
(x – 2)² + (y – 4)² = 65
(x – 2)² + (y – 4)² = (√65)²
Which is of the form (x – h)² + (y – k)² = r², where h = 2, k = 4, and r =√65
Thus, the center of the given circle is (2,4), while its radius is √65.
Q8. Find the center and radius of the circle is x² + y² – 8x +10y – 12 = 0
Ans. Standard equation of the circle is
(x – h)² + (y – k)² = r², where (h,k) are the co-ordinates of the centre of the circle.
The given equation of the circle is x² + y² – 8x +10y – 12 = 0
Rewritting the equation of the circle by applying the complete square method
x² – 8x + 4²- 4² + y²+10y +5²-5² – 12 = 0
(x – 4)² + (y + 5)² -16 – 25- 12 = 0
(x – 4)² + (y + 5)² = (√53)²
Comparing the standard equation of the circle
(x – h)² + (y – k)² = r²
h =4, k = -5 and r = √53
Therefore, the centre of the circle is (4,-5) and radius of the circle is √53
Q9. Find the centre and radius of the circle 2x² + 2y² -x = 0
Ans. The given equation of the circle is
2x² + 2y² -x = 0
Rearranging the equation by the method of complete square method
2x² -x + 2y² = 0
Dividing the equation by 2
x² – x/2 + y² = 0
Adding and subtracting the equation by 1/4
x² -x/2 + 1/4 – 1/4 + y² = 0
(x – 1/2)² + (y – 0)² = (1/2)²
(x – 1/2)² + (y – 0)² = (0.5)²
Now, comparing the equation with standard equation of the circle
(x – h)² + (y – k)² = r², where (h,k) are the co-ordinates of the centre of the circle.
Therefore co-ordinates of the centre are (1/2,0) and radius (0.5)
Q10.Find the equation of the circle passing through the points (4,1) and (6,5) and whose centre is on the line 4x + y = 16
Ans. Let the equation of the required circle be (x – h)² + (y – k)² = r²
Since the circle passes through (4,1) and (6,5)
(4 – h)² + (1 – k)² = r²….(i)
(6 – h)² + (5 – k)² = r²….(ii)
Since the centre (h, k) of the circle lies on line 4x + y = 16
4h + k = 16….(iii)
From equations (i) and (ii), we obtain
(4 – h)² + (1 – k)² = (6 – h)² + (5 – k)²
16 – 8h +h² +1 – 2k +k² = 36 – 12h +h² +25 – 10k +k²
16 – 8h +1 – 2k = 36 – 12h +25 – 10k
4h + 8k = 44
h + 2k = 11….(iv)
On solving equations (iii) and (iv), we obtain h = 3 and k = 4
On substituting the values of h and k in equation (i), we obtain
(4 – 3)² + (1 – 4)² = r²
(1)² + (- 3)² = r²
1 + 9 = r²
r² = 10
r = √10
Thus, the equation of the required circle is
(x – 3)² + (y – 4)² = (√10)²
x² – 6x + 9 + y² – 8y + 16 = 0
x² + y² – 6x – 8y + 15 = 0
Q11.Find the equation of the circle passing through the points (2,3) and (-1,1) and whose centre is on the line x – 3y – 11 = 0
Ans. Let the equation of the required circle be (x – h)² + (y – k)² = r²
Since the circle passes thrpugh points (2,3) and (-1,1)
(2 – h)² + (3 – k)² = r²….(i)
(-1 – h)² + (1 – k)² = r²….(ii)
Since the centre (h,k) of the circle lies on line x – 3y – 11 = 0
h – 3k = 11….(iii)
From equations (i) and (ii), we obtain
(2 – h)² + (3 – k)² = (-1 – h)² + (1 – k)²
4 – 4h + h² + 9 – 6k + k² = 1 + 2h + h² + 1 – 2k + k²
4 – 4h + 9 – 6k = 1 + 2h + 1 – 2k
6h + 4k = 11….(iv)
On solving equations (iii) and (iv), we obtain h = 7/2 and k = -5/2
On substituting the values of h and k in equation (i), we obtain
(2 – 7/2)² + (3 + 5/2)² = r²
[(4 – 7)/2)]² + [(6 + 5)/2)]² = r²
(-3/2)² + (11/2)² = r²
9/4 + 121/4 = r²
130/4 = r²
The equation of the required circle is
(x – 7/2)² + (y + 5/2)² = 130/4
[(2x – 7)/2)]² + [(2x + 5)/2)]² = 130/4
4x² – 28x + 49 +4y² + 20y +25 = 130
4x² +4y² – 28x + 20y – 56 = 0
4(x² +y² – 7x + 5y – 14) = 0
x² +y² – 7x + 5y – 14 = 0
∴ The equation of the required circle is x² +y² – 7x + 5y – 14 = 0
Q12.Find the equation of the circle with radius 5 cm whose centre lies on x-axis and passes through the point (2,3)
Ans. The standard equation of the circle is
(x – h)² + (y – k)² = r² where (h,k) are coordinates of the centre and r is the radius of the circle
We know that the radius of the circle is 5 and its centre lies on the x-axis, so coodinates of the centre are (h,k) =(h,0) and r = 5
So now, the equation of the circle is (x – h)² + y ² = 25
It is given that the circle passes through the point (2,3) so the point will satisfy the equation of the circle.
(2 – h)² + 3² = 25
(2 – h)² = 25 – 9
(2 – h)² = 16
2 – h = ± 4
h = 2± 4
h = 6 or -2
The required equation of circle is
(x-6)² +y² =5² or (x + 2)² +k² = 5²
x² + 36 – 12x + y² = 25, x² + 2² +4x +k² = 25
x² – 12x + y² +11=0, x² +4x +k² -21 =0
Q13. Find the equation of the circle passing through (0,0) and making intercepts a and b on the coordinate axes.
Ans.The standard equation of the circle is (x – h)² + (y – k)² = r² where (h,k) are coordinates of the centre and r is the radius of the circle
We are given that circle is passing through (0,0) and making intercepts a and b on the coordinate axes means circle is passing through the point (a,0) on x-axis and (0,b) on y-axis.
substituting (0,0) , (a,0) and (b,0) in the equation of the circle
h² + k² = r²…….(i)
(a -h)² + k²=r²…….(ii)
h² + (b -k)²=r² …….(ii)
from equation (i) and (ii), we have
(a -h)² + k²= h² + k²
a² + h² -2ah + k² = h² + k²
a² – 2ah = 0 ⇒ a(a – 2h) = 0 ⇒a = 0 and a = 2h
a ≠0, so h = a/2
similarly from equation (iii) and (i), we have
(b -k)² + h²= h² + k²
b² + k² -2bk + h² = h² + k²
b² – 2bk = 0 ⇒ b(b – 2k) = 0 ⇒b = 0 and b = 2k
b ≠0, so k= b/2
Now, sbstituting the value of (h,k) =(a/2, b/2) in equation (i)
a²/4 + b²/4 = r²
Putting the value of (h,k) and r in the equation of circle
4x²+ 4y² – 4ax – 4by = 0
x²+ y² – ax – by = 0 is the required equation
Q14.Find the equation of a circle with centre (2,2) and passes through point (4,5).
Ans. The standard equation of the circle is (x – h)² + (y – k)² = r² where (h,k) are coordinates of the centre and r is the radius of the circle
We are given that circle is passing through (4,5) and the coordinates(h,k) of the centre are (2,2)
So,we have r² = (4 -2)² + (5 -2)²= 4 + 9 = 13
r = √13
The equation of the circle is
(x -2)² + (y -2)² =13
x ² + 4 -4x + y² + 4 – 4y = 13
x ² + y² -4x – 4y +8 -13 =0
x ² + y² -4x – 4y -5 =0
Q15.Does the point(-2.5,3.5) lie inside,outside or on the circle x² + y² = 25 ?
Ans. The given equation of the circle is x² + y² = 25
Comparing the given equation with the standard equation of the circle
(x – h)² + (y – k)² = r² where (h,k) are coordinates of the centre and r is the radius of the circle
We get h =0,k =0 and r = 5
Extract of the exercise 11.1 of the chapter 11-Conic Section
The centre of the circle is (0,0) and radius 5 indicates that the point (-2.5,3.5) lies inside the circle since the distance of the point from the centre(0,0) is less than 5 , the radius of the circle.
The circle is the most common geometrical figure in a range of all conic sections. The circle can be driven by slicing a plane parallel to its base and perpendicular to the axis of the cone.
The standard equation of the circle
The standard equation of the circle is
(x – h)² + (y – k)² = r²
