Q69.If the circle x2 + y2 −6x −8y + (25 −a2) = 0 touches the axis of x, then a equals. (1) 0 (2) ±4 (3) ±2 (4) ±3

What This Question Tests

The question requires applying the condition that a circle touches the x-axis, which means the radius of the circle must be equal to the absolute value of its y-coordinate of the center.

Concepts Tested

General equation of a circleCondition for a circle to touch an axis

Formulas Used

For x^2+y^2+2gx+2fy+c=0, center is (-g, -f), radius is sqrt(g^2+f^2-c)

Circle touches x-axis if r = |-f|
