Let the lineL:2x+y=αpass through the point of the intersectionP(in the first quadrant)of the circlex2+y2=3and the parabolax2=2y. Let the lineLtouch two circlesC1andC2of equal radius23. If the centresQ1andQ2of the circlesC1andC2lie on they-axis, then the square of the area of the trianglePQ1Q2is equal to _________.

Answer:
72.00
Solution:

Given: x2+y2=3 and x2=2y

y2+2y3=0

y+3y1=0

y=1,-3 Rejected as it gives imaginary value of x

y=1

x=2

P2,1

Now, P lies on the line 2x+y=α.

22+1=α

α=3

For circle C1Q1 lies on y-axis.

Let Q10,β and R1=23 (given)

Line L act as tangent so applying the condition of tangency

P=r

β33=23

β3=6

β3=6, -6

β=9, -3

So, Q10,9 & Q20,-3

ArΔPQ1Q2=12200193111

ArΔPQ1Q2=12212

ArΔPQ1Q2=62

ΔPQ1Q22=72
