Explanation

The general equation of a circle is x2+y2+2Gx+2Fy+C=0x^2+y^2+2Gx+2Fy+C=0. For S1S_1, G1=−2,F1=−3,C1=5G_1=-2, F_1=-3, C_1=5. For S2S_2, G2=g,F2=f,C2=cG_2=g, F_2=f, C_2=c. The radical axis of S1=0S_1=0 and S2=0S_2=0 is given by S1−S2=0S_1-S_2=0. (x2+y2−4x−6y+5)−(x2+y2+2gx+2fy+c)=0(x^2+y^2-4x-6y+5) - (x^2+y^2+2gx+2fy+c) = 0 (−4−2g)x+(−6−2f)y+(5−c)=0(-4-2g)x + (-6-2f)y + (5-c) = 0. This equation represents the line x+y−1=0x+y-1=0. For these two equations to represent the same line, their coefficients must be proportional. Let the proportionality constant be kk: −4−2g=k⋅1…(1)-4-2g = k \cdot 1 \quad \ldots (1) −6−2f=k⋅1…(2)-6-2f = k \cdot 1 \quad \ldots (2) 5−c=k⋅(−1)…(3)5-c = k \cdot (-1) \quad \ldots (3) From (1) and (2): −4−2g=−6−2f⇒2f−2g=−2⇒f−g=−1…(A)-4-2g = -6-2f \Rightarrow 2f-2g = -2 \Rightarrow f-g=-1 \quad \ldots (A) From (1) and (3): −4−2g=−(5−c)=c−5⇒c=1−2g…(B)-4-2g = -(5-c) = c-5 \Rightarrow c = 1-2g \quad \ldots (B) Circle S2S_2 passes through the point (1,1)(1,1). Substituting x=1,y=1x=1, y=1 into the equation of S2S_2: 12+12+2g(1)+2f(1)+c=0⇒2+2g+2f+c=0…(C)1^2+1^2+2g(1)+2f(1)+c=0 \Rightarrow 2+2g+2f+c=0 \quad \ldots (C) Now, substitute equations (A) and (B) into (C): 2+2g+2(g−1)+(1−2g)=02+2g+2(g-1)+(1-2g)=0 2+2g+2g−2+1−2g=02+2g+2g-2+1-2g=0 2g+1=0⇒g=−1/22g+1=0 \Rightarrow g = -1/2. Using g=−1/2g=-1/2 in (A): f=g−1=−1/2−1=−3/2f = g-1 = -1/2-1 = -3/2. Using g=−1/2g=-1/2 in (B): c=1−2(−1/2)=1+1=2c = 1-2(-1/2) = 1+1 = 2. Finally, we need to find g+f+c=(−1/2)+(−3/2)+2=−4/2+2=−2+2=0g+f+c = (-1/2) + (-3/2) + 2 = -4/2 + 2 = -2+2 = 0.
