Let the centre of a circle C be (α,β) and its radius r<8. Let 3x+4y=24 and 3x-4y=32 be two tangents and 4x+3y=1 be a normal to C. Then (α-β+r) is equal to [2023]
(3)
After solving 4x+3y=1 and 3x-4y=32, Point A is (4,-5)
Centre (α,β) lies on the line 4x+3y=1
So, 4α+3β=1
∴ β=1-4α3
Now, distance from Centre to line 3x-4y-32=0 and 3x+4y-24=0 are equal.
So, |3α-4(1-4α3)-3232+42|=|3α+4(1-4α3)-245|
⇒ |3α-4(1-4α3)-325|=|3α+4(1-4α3)-245|
⇒ |9α-4+16α-9615|=|9α+4-16α-7215|
⇒ 25α-100=±(-7α-68)
∴ α=1 and α=283
For α=1, Centre is (1,-1)
and radius is (4-1)2+(-5+1)2=5 units
For α=283, β=-1099, Centre (283,-1099)
∴ radius≃8.88 (rejected)
Hence, α=1, β=-1, r=5
∴ α-β+r=7
