Problem 796

AIME late
Geometry Difficulty 5.5 Find the answer

(13) As shown in the figure, in the Cartesian coordinate system, the circle MM with the equation x2+y2+Dx+Ey+F=0x^{2}+y^{2}+D x+E y+F=0 has an inscribed quadrilateral ABCDA B C D whose diagonals ACA C and BDB D are perpendicular to each other, and ACA C and BDB D lie on the xx-axis and yy-axis, respectively.
(1) Prove that F<0F<0;
(2) If the area of quadrilateral ABCDA B C D is 8, the length of diagonal ACA C is 2, and ABAD=0\overrightarrow{A B} \cdot \overrightarrow{A D}=0, find the value of D2+E24FD^{2}+E^{2}-4 F.

Official solution

13 (1) Method one: From the problem, the origin OO must be inside the circle MM, which means the value of the left side of the equation x2+y2+Dx+Ey+F=0x^{2}+y^{2}+D x+E y+F=0 when substituting the point (0,0)(0,0) is less than 0. Therefore, we have F<0F<0.

Method two: From the problem, it is not difficult to find that points AA and CC are on the negative and positive halves of the xx-axis, respectively. Let the coordinates of these two points be A(a,0)A(a, 0) and C(c,0)C(c, 0), then we have ac<0a c<0.

For the circle equation x2+y2+Dx+Ey+F=0x^{2}+y^{2}+D x+E y+F=0, when y=0y=0, we get x2+Dx+F=0x^{2}+D x+F=0. The roots of this equation are the xx-coordinates of points AA and CC, so xAxC=ac=Fx_{A} x_{C}=a c=F. Since ac<0a c<0, it follows that F<0F<0.
(2) For the quadrilateral ABCDABCD with perpendicular diagonals, the area S=ACBD2S=\frac{|A C| \cdot|B D|}{2}. Given S=8S=8 and AC=2|A C|=2, we can find BD=8|B D|=8.

Since ABAD=0\overrightarrow{A B} \cdot \overrightarrow{A D}=0, A\angle A is a right angle, so BD=2r=8r=4|B D|=2 r=8 \Rightarrow r=4. For the circle represented by the equation x2+y2+Dx+Ey+F=0x^{2}+y^{2}+D x+E y+F=0, we know D24+E24F=r2\frac{D^{2}}{4}+\frac{E^{2}}{4}-F=r^{2}, so
D2+E24F=4r2=64. D^{2}+E^{2}-4 F=4 r^{2}=64 .
