A triangle is formed by the tangents at the point (2,2)( 2, 2 ) on the curves y2=2x{y}^{2} = 2x and x2+y2=4x{x}^{2} + {y}^{2} = 4x, and the line x+y+2=0x + y + 2 = 0. If rr is the radius of its circumcircle, then r2{r}^{2} is equal toA triangle is formed by the tangents at the point ( 2, 2 ) on the curves y ^ 2 = 2x and x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 = 4x , and the

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

Let

S1:y2=2x{S}_{1}: {y}^{2} = 2x

S2:x2+y2=4x{S}_{2}: {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} = 4x

P(2,2)P ( 2, 2 ) is common point on S1 and S2{S}_{1} \text{ and } {S}_{2}

Let T1{T}_{1} is tangent to S1{S}_{1} at P(2,2)P\left(2, 2\right), then

T1:2y=x+2{T}_{1}: 2y = x + 2

⇒T1:x−2y+2=0⇒ {T}_{1}: x - 2y + 2 = 0

And, T2{T}_{2} is tangent to S2{S}_{2} at P(2,2)P\left(2, 2\right), then

T2:2x+2y=2(x+2){T}_{2}: 2x + 2y = 2\left(x + 2\right)

⇒T2:y=2⇒ {T}_{2}: y = 2

And, L3:x+y+2=0{L}_{3}: x + y + 2 = 0

A triangle is formed by the tangents at the point ( 2, 2 ) on the curves y ^ 2 = 2x and x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 = 4x , and the

PQ=a=20PQ = a = \sqrt{20}

QR=b=8QR = b = \sqrt{8}

RP=c=6RP = c = 6

Also, ar\left(∆ PQR\right) = \dfrac{1}{2}\left|\left|\begin{cases}2 & 2 & 1 \\ - 2 & 0 & 1 \\ - 4 & 2 & 1\end{cases}\right|\right|

⇒ ar\left(∆ PQR\right) = \dfrac{1}{2}\left|\left|\begin{cases}2 & 2 & 1 \\ - 4 & - 2 & 0 \\ - 6 & 0 & 0\end{cases}\right|\right|

⇒ar(∆PQR)=12∣−6(0+2)∣=6⇒ ar\left(∆ PQR\right) = \dfrac{1}{2}\left|- 6\left(0 + 2\right)\right| = 6

∴r=abc4Δ=1604=10∴ r = \dfrac{abc}{4\Delta} = \dfrac{\sqrt{160}}{4} = \sqrt{10}

⇒r2=10⇒ {r}^{2} = 10
