Given a circle C whose center is on the line l1:x−y−1=0, and it is tangent to the line l2:4x+3y+14=0, and the chord intercepted by the line l3:3x+4y+10=0 has a length of 6, find the equation of circle C.
A number or a short expression. Fractions can be typed as 3/2, and spacing doesn't matter.
Let the center of circle C be (a,b), and its radius be r. Since the center of circle C is on the line l1:x−y−1=0, we have a−b−1=0, Since circle C is tangent to the line l2:4x+3y+14=0, we have r=5∣4a+3b+14∣, Since the chord intercepted by the line l3:3x+4y+10=0 on circle C has a length of 6, we have 5∣3a+4b+10∣=r2−9. Therefore, 25(4a+3b+14)2−25(3a+4b+10)2=9. That is, 25(a−b+4)(7a+7b+24)=9. Since a−b=1, we have 255(7a+7b+24)=9, thus a+b=3. Solving {a−b=1a+b=3 yields {a=2b=1. Therefore, the equation of circle C is (x−2)2+(y−1)2=25.
