The circle 4 x^2+4 y^2-12 x-12 y+9=0
Options
- Atouches both the axes
- Btouches the x -axis only
- Ctouches the y -axis only
- Ddoes not touch the axes
Correct answer
A. touches both the axes
Step-by-step solution
Given circle is aligned & & 4 x^2+4 y^2-12 x-12 y+9 & =0 & & x^2+y^2-3 x-3 y+ 9 4 & =0 & & (x^2-3 x )+ (y^2-3 y ) & =- 9 4 aligned aligned & (x- 3 2 )^2+ (y- 3 2 )^2= 9 4 & (x- 3 2 )^2+ (y- 3 2 )^2= ( 3 2 )^2 aligned Hence, centre = ( 3 2 , 3 2 ) and radius = 3 2 So, the given circle touches both the axes.
