Consider a circle C1:x2+y2-4x-2y=α-5. Let its mirror image in the line y=2x+1 be another circle C2:5x2+5y2-10fx-10gy+36=0. Let r be the radius of C2. Then α+r is equal to _______ . [2023]
(2)
We have,
C1:x2+y2-4x-2y-(α-5)=0
∴ Centre is (2,1), r=4+1+α-5=α
C2:5x2+5y2-10fx-10gy+36=0
i.e., x2+y2-2fx-2gy+365=0
Centre is (f,g), r=f2+g2-365
The image of (2,1) with respect to 2x-y+1=0 is (f,g),
then f-22=g-1-1=-2(4-1+1)5
⇒f-22=-85 and g-1=85
⇒f-2=-165 and g-1=85
⇒f=2-165=-65 and g=135
So, (f,g)=(-65, 135)
and r=3625+16925-365⇒r=1
⇒r=1
∴ α+r=1+1=2
