Let the line L:2x+y=α pass through the point of the intersection P(in the first quadrant)of the circle x2+y2=3 and the parabola x2=2y. Let the line L touch two circles C1 and C2 of equal radius 23. If the centres Q1 and Q2 of the circles C1 and C2 lie on the y−axis, then the square of the area of the triangle PQ1Q2 is equal to _________.
Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
Given: x2+y2=3 and x2=2y
⇒y2+2y−3=0
⇒(y+3)(y−1)=0
⇒y=1,−3(Rejected as it gives imaginary value ofx)
⇒y=1
⇒x=2
⇒P≡(2,1)
Now, P lies on the line 2x+y=α.
⇒2(2)+1=α
⇒α=3
For circle C1, Q1 lies on y−axis.
Let Q1≡(0,β) and R1=23 (given)
Line L act as tangent so applying the condition of tangency
