Question statement

Find the points where the circles:

$\simplify[std]{x^2+y^2 -{2*k2}x -{2*l2}y+{2*k2*a+2*l2*b-a^2-b^2}}=0$

and $\simplify[std]{x^2+y^2 -{2*k}x -{2*l}y+{2*k*a+2*l*b-a^2-b^2}}=0$

meet.

Enter the coordinates for the two points, starting with the point with the smaller $x$ -coordinate.

Note that, for example, $-3$ is smaller than $-1$ . Thus if the points of intersection were $(-1, 4)$ and $(-3,6)$ you would enter $(-3,6)$ for the first point and $(-1, 4)$ for the second.

Input the coordinates as integers.

Give any introductory information the student needs.

Advice

Subtract the equation for the first circle from the equation for the second. You get $\simplify[std]{{2*k2-2*k}x+ {2*l2-2*l}y+{2*k*a+2*l*b-2*k2*a-2*l2*b}}=0$ .

This can be rearranged as: $y = \simplify[std]{({b-d}/{a-c})x+{b*c-a*d}/{c-a}}$

Substitute for $y = \simplify[std]{({b-d}/{a-c})x+{b*c-a*d}/{c-a}}$ in the equation of the circle.

We get $\simplify[std]{x^2+(({b-d}/{a-c})x+{b*c-a*d}/{c-a})^2 -{2*k}x -{2*l}(({b-d}/{a-c})x+{b*c-a*d}/{c-a})+{2*k*a+2*l*b-a^2-b^2}}=0$ .

Collecting terms we get $\simplify[std]{{1+ (b-d)^2/(a-c)^2} x^2+{(-2)*(b-d)(b*c-a*d)/(a-c)^2-2*k -(2*l)*(b-d)/(a-c)}x+{(b*c-a*d)^2/(c-a)^2 -2*l*(b*c-a*d)/(c-a)+2*k*a+2*l*b-a^2-b^2}}=0$ .

Solving this quadratic equation for $x$ gives solutions $x=\var{a}$ and $x=\var{c}$ .

Substitute these values of $x$ into the equation $\simplify[std]{({b-d}/{a-c})x+{b*c-a*d}/{c-a}}$ to obtain the $y$ -coordinates: $y=\var{b}$ (when $x=\var{a}$ ) and $y=\var{d}$ (when $x=\var{c}$ ).

Enter the coordinate pairs in the order $(\var{m},\var{n})$ , $(\var{p}, \var{q})$ .
