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 . Dividing by -3, we get . Comparing to : . . . . . . .
The Python output confirms: Center . Radius squared . Final result calculation: .
Let me double check the arithmetic manually. Equation: Move LHS to RHS: Divide by 3: Complete the square:
So, center . Radius squared .
