the center is at the perpendicular bisector of the line joingin (1,1) and (2,2)

so its center is on the line ?? x+y=3??

then on this line draw a circle!!

Now think of the graph or solve it by taking a point (h,3-h)

and the distance from the x and y axis have to be less than the radius..

This is best solved by using a graph! (you will get the limiting case directly :)

sir my graphing is weak...............can u solve it theoritically?????????

This cant be an excuse eureka....

You have to improve deficiencies..

This makes the quesiton very simple!

But theoretically u have to take the thing that the distance of the point from 1,1= distance from 2,2 = min(x , y ) coordinates of the center of the circle

the center, as we discussed is on x+y=3

let it be (h,3-h)

for the limiting case,
distance from (1,1)= distance from x axis or y axis which ever is lower!

thus, (h-1)2+ (3-h-1)2 = (3-h)2
(h-1)2+ (2-h)2 = (3-h)2

2h2 - 6h + 5 = 9 -6h + h2
h=2 and -2
h is in the first quadrant .. so h=2

center is (2, 1)

so the circle's equation (x-2)2 + (y-1)2 = 1

There will be one more equation eureka.. try to get it!!! by the same method!!
