The circle S1S_1 intersects the hyperbola y=1xy = \frac{1}{x} at four points AA, BB, CC and DD, and the other circle S2S_2 intersects the same hyperbola at four points AA, BB, FF and GG. It is known that the radii of circles S1S_1 and S2S_2 are equal.
Prove that the points CC, DD, FF and GG are the vertices of the parallelogram.
( I. Voronovich )

Solution

Let the abscissae of the points AA, BB, CC, DD, FF and GG be aa, bb, cc, dd, ff and gg respectively. If O1(α,β)O_1(\alpha, \beta) is the center of the circle S1S_1, the coordinates of the points AA, BB, CC and DD satisfy the system of equations
{(xα)2+(yβ)2=R2,y=1x. \begin{cases} (x - \alpha)^2 + (y - \beta)^2 = R^2, \\ y = \frac{1}{x}. \end{cases}
Eliminating yy we obtain the equation
x42αx3+(α2+β2R2)x22βx+1=0, x^4 - 2\alpha x^3 + (\alpha^2 + \beta^2 - R^2)x^2 - 2\beta x + 1 = 0,
with solutions aa, bb, cc and dd. Whence a+b+c+d=2αa + b + c + d = 2\alpha and abcd=1abcd = 1. Similarly, if O2(λ,μ)O_2(\lambda, \mu) is the center of the circle S2S_2, then a+b+f+g=2λa + b + f + g = 2\lambda and abfg=1abfg = 1. Since the radii of the circles S1S_1 and S2S_2 are equal, the quadrilateral AO1BO2AO_1BO_2 is a rhombus, hence the midpoints of ABAB and O1O2O_1O_2 coincide, therefore a+b2=α+λ2\frac{a + b}{2} = \frac{\alpha + \lambda}{2} which gives a+b=α+λa + b = \alpha + \lambda. So
2α+2λ=(a+b+c+d)+(a+b+f+g)=2α+2λ+c+d+f+g, 2\alpha + 2\lambda = (a + b + c + d) + (a + b + f + g) = 2\alpha + 2\lambda + c + d + f + g,
whence f+g=(c+d)f + g = -(c + d). Moreover, cd=fg=(ab)1cd = fg = (ab)^{-1}. Rewrite it as f+g=(c)+(d)f + g = (-c) + (-d) and fg=(c)(d)f \cdot g = (-c) \cdot (-d). Thus the pairs (f,g)(f, g) and (c,d)(-c, -d) have equal sums and products. So either f=cf = -c and g=dg = -d or f=df = -d and g=cg = -c. If, for example, f=cf = -c and g=dg = -d, then the pairs F,CF, C and G,DG, D of points are symmetric with respect to the point of origin, i.e. FGCDFGCD is a parallelogram with the center at the origin.
