Definition of a circle
Question

Let x and y be real variables satisfying x2+y2+8x10y40=0. Let a=max(x+2)2+(y3)2 and  b=min(x+2)2+(y3)2.

 Then, 

Moderate
Solution

x2+y2+8x10y40=0  The center of the circle is (4,5) its radius is 9.  distance of the center (4,5) from the   point (2,3) is 4+4=22. Therefore,  a=22+9 and b=22+9  a+b=18 ab=42 ab=818=73
