A circle with centre (2,3)( 2, 3 )and radius 44 intersects the line x+y=3x + y = 3 at the points PP and QQ. If the tangents at PP and QQ intersect at the point S(α,β)S ( \alpha, \beta ), then 4α−7β4\alpha - 7\beta is equal to

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

A Circle having the centre (2,3)\left(2, 3\right) and radius 44.

So, the equation of circle will be

(x−2)2+(y−3)2=16{\left(x - 2\right)}^{2} + {\left(y - 3\right)}^{2} = 16

⇒x2+y2−4x−6y−3=0⇒ {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} - 4x - 6y - 3 = 0

Now, it is given x+y=3x + y = 3 passes through two points P and  P \text{\text{ and } } Q on circle and tangents are drawn at P and  P \text{\text{ and } } Q intersect at S(α,β)S\left(\alpha, \beta\right),

So, x+y=3x + y = 3 will be chord of contact.

Now equation of chord of contact will be

T(α,β)=0{T}_{\left(\alpha, \beta\right)} = 0

⇒\alphax+\betay−2(x+α)−3(y+β)−3=0⇒ \alphax + \betay - 2\left(x + \alpha\right) - 3\left(y + \beta\right) - 3 = 0

⇒x(α−2)+y(β−3)−2α−3β−3=0⇒ x\left(\alpha - 2\right) + y\left(\beta - 3\right) - 2\alpha - 3\beta - 3 = 0

Now comparing above equation with x+y−3=0x + y - 3 = 0, we get

α−21=β−31=2α+3β+33\dfrac{\alpha - 2}{1} = \dfrac{\beta - 3}{1} = \dfrac{2\alpha + 3\beta + 3}{3}

Now on solving above relation we get,

α=−6 and  β=−5\alpha = - 6 \text{\text{ and } } \beta = - 5

Hence, the value of

4α−7β=−24+35=114\alpha - 7\beta = - 24 + 35 = 11
