The given information can be represented in the form of the diagram below.​​
Since angle in a semicircle is a right angle.
Hence, the other circle will be passing through the centre of the first circle.
The two ends of diameter of the circle is O(0, 0) and C(3, −2).
Hence, the required equation of circle is (x − 0)(x − 3)+(y − 0)(y −(−2))= 0

Equation of circle with AB as diameter will be

(x − x1 )(x − x2 )+(y − y1 )(y − y2 )= 0

Now from diagram,

Line x = 2√5 intersects the circle.
AC = BC = 1, OC = √r − 1

OC = = √r − 1

8. (1)

Given,
The centre of a circle C be α, β and its radius r < 8 ,
And 3x + 4y = 24 and 3x– 4y = 32 be two tangents
So, the distance from centre will be radius,
3α+4β−24 3α−4β−32

∣ 5 ∣ ∣ 5 ∣

Taking + sign we get,

⇒ 3α + 4β − 24 = 3α − 4β − 32

⇒ 8β = −8 ⇒ β = −1

And taking − sign we get,

3α + 4β − 24 = −3α + 4β + 32

⇒ 6α = 56 ⇒ α =

And 4x + 3y = 1 be a normal to C
So, (α, β) lies on 4x + 3y = 1
⇒ 4α + 3β = 1

So, α = 1 when β = −1 and β = 1 28 −109 28
