Detailed Solution

The polar of the point P3,5 with respect to the circle x2+y2-16x+36=0 is  is 3x+5y-8x+3+36=0-5x+5y+12=05x-5y-12=0

The polar of the point P3,5 with respect to the circle x2+y+16x+36=0

3x+5y+8x+3+36=011x+5y+60=0

The point of intersection of the above two lines is as below

5x-5y+11x+5y-12+60=016x=-48x=-3

when x=-3, the value of y is y=-275

Equation of the circle having P3,5 and -3,-275 as ends of diameter

x-3x+3+y-5y+275=0

when y=0

x-3x+3=27x2=36x=±6

Hence, the points are ±6,0
