Solution
Suppose intersects at . Let be the circle with diameter . By the angle bisector theorem, one can get
Based on Ceva's theorem, are concurrent and . If are the internal, external angle bisectors of triangle , then . Through the reflection over the center , then with being the symmetric point to through . From there, so is the reflection of the -Apollonius circle through the perpendicular bisector of .
Suppose that -Apollonius circle intersects at then so is harmonic, entailing is the symmetric line of triangle . Therefore, intersects at will be the points symmetric to through the perpendicular bisector . Therefore, so are isogonal in angle , which implies that is the median of triangle or . Suppose intersects at , then by the property of power of a point and Newton's formula, we have
From there, we deduce or is the midpoint of . Here we have
Therefore is equal between vertices . Therefore we have has the same power to the three circles .
On the other hand, is tangent to the Apollonius circle at vertex so is tangent to . From there we have
with being the radius of . Also because of this symmetry, has the same power to the three circles . Let be the projection of onto then and . Then, . Obviously, this quantity is also symmetric between the vertices in triangle , so also has the same power to the three circles . From that we immediately have .
