Explanation

The reasoning begins by recognizing that S represents the set of points z = x + iy satisfying |z - z1| = 2 |z - z2|, which describes a circle as the Apollonius circle for the ratio 2:1 between distances to z1 and z2. To derive the circle's equation, square both sides: |z - z1|^2 = 4 |z - z2|^2. Substituting z = x + iy, z1 = 1 + 2i, and z2 = 3i yields (x - 1)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 4 [x^2 + (y - 3)^2]. Expanding both sides gives x^2 - 2x + 1 + y^2 - 4y + 4 = 4(x^2 + y^2 - 6y + 9), simplifying to x^2 - 2x + y^2 - 4y + 5 = 4x^2 + 4y^2 - 24y + 36. Rearranging terms results in 0 = 3x^2 + 3y^2 + 2x - 20y + 31, or dividing by 3: x^2 + y^2 + (2/3)x - (20/3)y + 31/3 = 0. This is the standard circle equation x^2 + y^2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0, where D = 2/3, E = -20/3, and F = 31/3. The center is (h, k) = (-D/2, -E/2) = (-1/3, 10/3), so h + k = -1/3 + 10/3 = 9/3 = 3. The radius squared is r^2 = (D/2)^2 + (E/2)^2 - F = (1/3)^2 + (-10/3)^2 - 31/3 = 1/9 + 100/9 - 93/9 = 8/9. Thus, 9(h + k)r^2 = 9 * 3 * (8/9) = 24. The Python code verifies this through symbolic expansion and computation, confirming the values and result.
