Problem Statement

Let R\mathbb{R} denote the set of all real numbers. Let z1=1+2iz_1 = 1 + 2i and z2=3iz_2 = 3i be two complex numbers, where i=1i = \sqrt{-1}. LetS={(x,y)R×R:x+iyz1=2x+iyz2}.S = \{(x, y) \in \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R} : |x + iy - z_1| = 2|x + iy - z_2|\}.If the circle SS has centre (x0,y0)(x_0, y_0) and radius rr, find the value of 9(x0+y0)r29(x_0 + y_0)r^2.\

Reasoning Process

[THOUGHT] The problem asks for the parameters of a circle defined by the equation zz1=2zz2|z - z_1| = 2|z - z_2|, where z=x+iyz = x + iy, z1=1+2iz_1 = 1 + 2i, and z2=3iz_2 = 3i. This is a classic Apollonius circle problem.

Let z=x+iyz = x + iy. The condition is z(1+2i)=2z3i|z - (1 + 2i)| = 2|z - 3i|. Squaring both sides to remove the modulus, we get: zz12=4zz22|z - z_1|^2 = 4|z - z_2|^2.

Let's expand this in terms of xx and yy: (x1)2+(y2)2=4[x2+(y3)2](x - 1)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 4[x^2 + (y - 3)^2].

I will use Python to expand this equation, rearrange it into the standard circle equation form (xx0)2+(yy0)2=r2(x - x_0)^2 + (y - y_0)^2 = r^2, and extract the center (x0,y0)(x_0, y_0) and radius rr. Finally, I will calculate 9(x0+y0)r29(x_0 + y_0)r^2.

Steps:

  1. Define the variables xx and yy.
  2. Set up the equation (x1)2+(y2)2=4(x2+(y3)2)(x - 1)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 4(x^2 + (y - 3)^2).
  3. Simplify the equation to find the coefficients of x2,y2,x,yx^2, y^2, x, y and the constant term.
  4. Determine the center (x0,y0)(x_0, y_0) and radius squared r2r^2.
  5. Compute the final value 9(x0+y0)r29(x_0 + y_0)r^2. [/THOUGHT] [PYTHON] from sympy import symbols, expand, Eq, solve

x, y = symbols('x y', real=True)

Define the points

z1_real, z1_imag = 1, 2 z2_real, z2_imag = 0, 3

Define the squared distances

dist_sq_1 = (x - z1_real)**2 + (y - z1_imag)**2 dist_sq_2 = (x - z2_real)**2 + (y - z2_imag)**2

The equation is |z - z1|^2 = 4 * |z - z2|^2

equation = Eq(dist_sq_1, 4 * dist_sq_2)

Expand the equation

expanded_eq = expand(equation.lhs - equation.rhs) print(f"Expanded equation (lhs - rhs = 0): {expanded_eq}")

The equation should be of the form A(x^2 + y^2) + Dx + Ey + F = 0

We can extract coefficients.

Since it's a circle, coeff of x^2 and y^2 should be the same (let's call it A).

Then x^2 + y^2 + (D/A)x + (E/A)y + (F/A) = 0

Center (x0, y0) = (-D/2A, -E/2A)

Radius squared r^2 = x0^2 + y0^2 - F/A

coeff_x2 = expanded_eq.coeff(x, 2) coeff_y2 = expanded_eq.coeff(y, 2) coeff_x = expanded_eq.coeff(x, 1) coeff_y = expanded_eq.coeff(y, 1) constant = expanded_eq.subs({x: 0, y: 0})

print(f"Coeff x^2: {coeff_x2}") print(f"Coeff y^2: {coeff_y2}") print(f"Coeff x: {coeff_x}") print(f"Coeff y: {coeff_y}") print(f"Constant: {constant}")

A = coeff_x2 D = coeff_x E = coeff_y F = constant

Calculate center and radius

x0 = -D / (2 * A) y0 = -E / (2 * A) r_squared = x02 + y02 - F / A

print(f"Center (x0, y0): ({x0}, {y0})") print(f"Radius squared r^2: {r_squared}")

Calculate the final answer

result = 9 * (x0 + y0) * r_squared print(f"Final result: {result}") [/PYTHON] [THOUGHT] The Python code successfully expanded the equation and calculated the parameters. The expanded equation is 3x22x3y2+20y31=0-3x^2 - 2x - 3y^2 + 20y - 31 = 0. Dividing by -3, we get x2+23x+y2203y+313=0x^2 + \frac{2}{3}x + y^2 - \frac{20}{3}y + \frac{31}{3} = 0. Comparing to x2+y22x0x2y0y+x02+y02r2=0x^2 + y^2 - 2x_0x - 2y_0y + x_0^2 + y_0^2 - r^2 = 0: 2x0=2/3    x0=1/3-2x_0 = 2/3 \implies x_0 = -1/3. 2y0=20/3    y0=10/3-2y_0 = -20/3 \implies y_0 = 10/3. x02+y02r2=31/3x_0^2 + y_0^2 - r^2 = 31/3. (1/3)2+(10/3)2r2=31/3(-1/3)^2 + (10/3)^2 - r^2 = 31/3. 1/9+100/9r2=31/31/9 + 100/9 - r^2 = 31/3. 101/9r2=93/9101/9 - r^2 = 93/9. r2=(10193)/9=8/9r^2 = (101 - 93)/9 = 8/9.

The Python output confirms: Center (x0,y0)=(1/3,10/3)(x_0, y_0) = (-1/3, 10/3). Radius squared r2=8/9r^2 = 8/9. Final result calculation: 9(x0+y0)r2=9(1/3+10/3)(8/9)=9(3)(8/9)=249(x_0 + y_0)r^2 = 9(-1/3 + 10/3)(8/9) = 9(3)(8/9) = 24.

Let me double check the arithmetic manually. Equation: (x1)2+(y2)2=4(x2+(y3)2)(x-1)^2 + (y-2)^2 = 4(x^2 + (y-3)^2) x22x+1+y24y+4=4(x2+y26y+9)x^2 - 2x + 1 + y^2 - 4y + 4 = 4(x^2 + y^2 - 6y + 9) x2+y22x4y+5=4x2+4y224y+36x^2 + y^2 - 2x - 4y + 5 = 4x^2 + 4y^2 - 24y + 36 Move LHS to RHS: 3x2+3y2+2x20y+31=03x^2 + 3y^2 + 2x - 20y + 31 = 0 Divide by 3: x2+y2+23x203y+313=0x^2 + y^2 + \frac{2}{3}x - \frac{20}{3}y + \frac{31}{3} = 0 Complete the square: (x+13)219+(y103)21009+313=0(x + \frac{1}{3})^2 - \frac{1}{9} + (y - \frac{10}{3})^2 - \frac{100}{9} + \frac{31}{3} = 0 (x+13)2+(y103)2=19+1009939(x + \frac{1}{3})^2 + (y - \frac{10}{3})^2 = \frac{1}{9} + \frac{100}{9} - \frac{93}{9} (x+13)2+(y103)2=89(x + \frac{1}{3})^2 + (y - \frac{10}{3})^2 = \frac{8}{9}

So, center (x0,y0)=(1/3,10/3)(x_0, y_0) = (-1/3, 10/3). Radius squared r2=8/9r^2 = 8/9.

We need to find 9(x0+y0)r29(x_0 + y_0)r^2. x0+y0=1/3+10/3=9/3=3x_0 + y_0 = -1/3 + 10/3 = 9/3 = 3. r2=8/9r^2 = 8/9. Value = 93(8/9)=38=249 * 3 * (8/9) = 3 * 8 = 24.

The calculation is consistent. [/THOUGHT] \boxed{24}

Reasoning Process

The equation of the set SS is given by x+iy(1+2i)=2x+iy3i|x + iy - (1 + 2i)| = 2|x + iy - 3i|. Squaring both sides, we have: x1+i(y2)2=4x+i(y3)2|x - 1 + i(y - 2)|^2 = 4|x + i(y - 3)|^2 (x1)2+(y2)2=4(x2+(y3)2)(x - 1)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 4(x^2 + (y - 3)^2) x22x+1+y24y+4=4(x2+y26y+9)x^2 - 2x + 1 + y^2 - 4y + 4 = 4(x^2 + y^2 - 6y + 9) x2+y22x4y+5=4x2+4y224y+36x^2 + y^2 - 2x - 4y + 5 = 4x^2 + 4y^2 - 24y + 36 Rearranging terms to one side: 3x2+3y2+2x20y+31=03x^2 + 3y^2 + 2x - 20y + 31 = 0 Dividing by 3 to normalize the coefficients of x2x^2 and y2y^2: x2+y2+23x203y+313=0x^2 + y^2 + \frac{2}{3}x - \frac{20}{3}y + \frac{31}{3} = 0 Completing the square for xx and yy: (x+13)219+(y103)21009+313=0\left(x + \frac{1}{3}\right)^2 - \frac{1}{9} + \left(y - \frac{10}{3}\right)^2 - \frac{100}{9} + \frac{31}{3} = 0 (x+13)2+(y103)2=19+1009939\left(x + \frac{1}{3}\right)^2 + \left(y - \frac{10}{3}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{9} + \frac{100}{9} - \frac{93}{9} (x+13)2+(y103)2=89\left(x + \frac{1}{3}\right)^2 + \left(y - \frac{10}{3}\right)^2 = \frac{8}{9}

Thus, the center is (x0,y0)=(13,103)(x_0, y_0) = \left(-\frac{1}{3}, \frac{10}{3}\right) and the radius squared is r2=89r^2 = \frac{8}{9}. We need to find the value of 9(x0+y0)r29(x_0 + y_0)r^2: x0+y0=13+103=93=3x_0 + y_0 = -\frac{1}{3} + \frac{10}{3} = \frac{9}{3} = 3 9(x0+y0)r2=9(3)(89)=2789=38=249(x_0 + y_0)r^2 = 9(3)\left(\frac{8}{9}\right) = 27 \cdot \frac{8}{9} = 3 \cdot 8 = 24

\boxed{24}
