    I can suggest one thing to simplify the solution: from these two equations for x and y being center of a red circle: x = 1-r ;
    x^2 + y^2 = (1+r)^2 -> y^2 = (1+r)^2 - (1-r)^2 = 4*r
    you can get that y = 2*sqrt(r), and from this point it's much easier to solve it for y , and then get the solution from it.

    At 6:17, the simplification is easier if we substitute eqt(3) into eqt(1). Then we can get k^2=4r and this is eqt(4). Then substitute eqt(3) into eqt(2), we can get k in terms of r and this is eqt(5). Then we substitute eqt(5) into eqt(4) and finally we can get the same quadratic equation of r. Finally, we can get r=1 (rejected) or r= (9-4√2)/49.

    No one has suggested a simpler solution besides using Descartes' Theorem yet. After getting -1+√2 for the radius of the smaller quarter circle by looking at the diagonal, let r be the radius of the small circle. The right side of the square will have length 1 = √((1+r)^2-(1-r)^2) + √((√2-1+r)^2 - r^2) = √(2r(-1+√2) + 3-2√2) + 2√r. Move 2√r to the other side, square, rearrange, and let t = √r to get (3-√2)t^2 - 2t + (√2 - 1) = 0. Notice that t=1 is an extraneous solution (we have r

    Since the orange and yellow circles are tangent, one of the couples of the radii are colinear, and it so happens it's one of the square's diagonals. The measure of the diagonals of a square of side a is a×sqrt(2) (via the pythagorean theorem). Sincethe side of the square is 1, the diagonals are sqrt(2). And since the radius of the yellow circle is 1:
    radius of orange circle=diagonal of square-radius of yellow circle=sqrt(2)-1

      If a circle is touching another circle and a line, then its center is equidistant from both of these. Then, if you shift the line and replace the fixed circle with its centerpoint, your are again equidistant from these. It's the definition of a parabola. So the original problem has a more geometric solution by defining two parabolas and finding their intersection. This will also require Cartesian coordinates and a quadratic equation, but anyway. Also, if one notices that there is another circle fulfilling all conditions and its coordinates are integer, it even allows bypassing the quadratic equation.

The denested final answer in the video is the one associated with this correct answer when you take the negative sign. If you take the positive sign, it just simplifies down to 1.

      I would say that we know by the Pythagorean Theorem that the diagonal of a square of sidelength a has a length of a*sqrt(2). Here, we have a=1, so the diagonal of our unit square is sqrt(2). Then, from this, we subtract the radius of the unit circle, which is 1 by definition. This gives us, for the orange circle, a radius of sqrt(2)-1.

  • @paullinsay115

    I solved this by a very different method, inversion of circles. Draw the inversion circle so that its center is at the tangent point of the two arcs and its radius so that it touches the side (1,0) - (1,1) of the square. The two arcs then invert to a pair of parallel straight lines parallel to the (1,0) (0,1) diagonal. The right edge of the square inverts to a circle that tangent to the right side of the square and goes through the arcs tangent point. It is then trivial to find the image of the orange circle. It is tangent to both straight lines and its diameter is equal to the distance between the lines. It is also tangent to the circle that image of the right side. The diameter of the orange circle can then be computed by inverting its image. The radius is (2-√2)/(10-√2). Descarte's theorem does not apply here, the conditions are wrong.

    Thanks for sharing. It could perhaps simplify calculations a bit if we use two right triangles to obtain the system of two equations with two unknowns that can be then solved for r. The vertices of the first triangle are (0,0), centre of the small circle, and its orthogonal projection onto the x-axis. The vertices of the second triangle are (1,1), centre of the small triangle, and its orthogonal projection onto the y-axis. The side lengths of the first triangle are then 1+r (hypotenuse), 1-r, and x, and the side lengths of another triangle are sqrt(2) - 1 + r (hypotenuse), r, and 1 - x. Just a thought. Thanks again.

    Dropping a perpendicular from P to the lower side of the square, meeting it at Q, gives a more geometric solution using Pythagoras' theorem, equivalent to
    solutions given by several
    other commenters. Using coordinates in the diagram to identify unlabelled vertices, in Δ (0,0)PQ, (1+r)² = PQ²+(1-r)², giving PQ = 2√r.
    In Δ (1,1)P(1,k), (√2-1+r)² = r² + (1-PQ)², giving (3-√2)r-2√r+(√2-1) = 0, which is a quadratic in √r. Ignoring the solution √r=1, gives √r = (√2-1)/(3-√2) = (2√2-1)/7
    and r = (9-4√2)/7. (√r=1 is a valid solution in the sense that it satisfies the same constraints as the small circle, ie, being tangent to the two quarter circles and
    the side of the square. It's easy to see by reflecting the square about the vertical line (1,0)(1,1).)

    Draw a line connecting (0,0) and center of the smallest circle and likewise connect that center to (1,1) First line is (1+r); second is (√2-1+r).
    Now use these lines as hypotenuses, making right-angled triangles with x-axis(y=0) and x=1, respectively. The base of the first RAT is (1-r) while the base of the second RAT is simply r.
    Now just using Pythagorus's Theorem, find the heights of each RAT, which must sum to one. First is √((1+r)²-(1-r)²) = 2√r. Second is √((√2-1+r)²-r²) = √(3-2√2+(2√2-2)r).
    So, we have 1 = 2√r + √(3-2√2+(2√2-2)r).
    Hence (1-2√r)² = (√(3-2√2+(2√2-2)r))²
    Hence 1-4√r+4r = 3-2√2+(2√2-2)r
    Hence 0 = 2(3-√2)r - 4√r + 2(√2-1)
    This is quadratic in √r. Quad. Formula gives √r = (4 - √(16 - 16(3-√2)(√2-1)) / (4(3-√2))
    [Note: Subtract the √(b²-4ac) since addition will give a result obviously too large.]
    Hence √r = (1 - √(1 - (3-√2)(√2-1)) / (3-√2)
    Hence √r = (1 - √(6-4√2) ) / (3-√2)
    Now, √(6-4√2) = √(4-4√2+2) = (√(2-√2))² = 2-√2
    Hence √r = (√2-1) / (3-√2)
    Rationalize the denominator by multiplying top and bottom by (3+√2)
    Hence √r = (√2-1)(3+√2) / 7
    Hence √r = (2√2-1)/7
    Squaring then gives: r = (9-4√2) / 49

      0 = r²(11-6√2) + r(-14+8√2) + (3-2√2)
      0 = (11-6√2)r² -2(7-4√2)r + (3-2√2)
      QF: r = ( 2(7-4√2) - √(4(7-4√2)² - 4(11-6√2)(3-2√2)) ) / (2(11-6√2))
      r = ((7-4√2) - √((7-4√2)² - (11-6√2)(3-2√2)) ) / (11-6√2)
      r = ((7-4√2) - √(49+32-56√2) - (33+24-22√2-18√2)) ) / (11-6√2)
      r = ((7-4√2) - √(24-16√2)) / (11-6√2)
      Note: √(24-16√2) = √((4-2√2)²) = 4-2√2
      r = (3-2√2) / (11-6√2)
      Rationalize the denominator by multiplying by (11+6√2)/(11+6√2):
      r = (3-2√2)(11+6√2) / (121-72)
      r = (33-24-22√2+18√2) / 49

    If one calls radius of upper 1/4 circle a, and projects OP and segment P (1,1) onto the (1,0)(1,1) segment, the resulting equation is: 2sqrt(r) + sqrt(a(a+2r)) = 1, or sqrt(a(a+2r)) = 1 - 2sqrt(r). Squaring both sides gets you a simpler equation in d = sqrt(r): ((3-sqrt(2))d^2 - 2d + sqrt(2) - 1 = 0. Thus, d = (2sqrt(2) - 1)/7 and r = (9-4sqrt(2))/49.

  • @jardozouille1677
    @jardozouille1677 2 года назад

    Ok, I have it. As Michael said, we're looking for center P(h,k) and radius r, using 3 equations. The last one gives h = 1 - r.
    The second (and first) one yield k = \sqrt{2} - 1 + (3 - \sqrt{2})r.
    Now we plug both these expressions in first equation h² + k² = (1 + r)². We get :
    (11 - 6\sqrt{2})r² + 2(-7 + 4\sqrt{2})r + (3 - 2\sqrt{2}) = 0
    There are two ways to solve this equation. The first one is to remark that r = 1 is solution (!). Then using the formula about the sum or the product of the roots, we can find the second root given by Michael, which is r' = (9 - 4\sqrt{2}) / 49. Clearly the second root is the one shown in Michael's figure, but the first one is also relevant : radius r = 1 yields center P(0,2), and a circle which is tangent to both initial circles and vertical straight line.
    The second way is to calculate the discriminant. We get : \Delta = 4(24 - 16\sqrt(2)). At this point, I had a lot of problems to find the solution given by Michael, because the formula for the roots of the equation use \sqrt{\Delta}. In fact, there exist two integers a, b such that \Delta = (a + b\sqrt{2})². Indeed, we must have a² + 2b² = 4*24 and 2ab = 4*(-16). The latter allows to get b = -32/a, that we plug in the former : a² + 64/a² = 96. This yields equation a^4 - 96a² + 64 = 0 ... discriminant ... blabla ... We find that \Delta = (8 - 4\sqrt{2})², so \sqrt{\Delta} is cool, and we do retrieve roots r = 1 and r' = (9 - 4\sqrt{2}) / 49.
    My point is that the set of numbers of the form x + y\sqrt{2} with rational numbers x, y is intriguing. Sometimes, the square root of such a number has same nature. Probably that this set of numbers is well known. Any information about this ? Did Michael published a video about this ?

    So… well before watching the video, I decided to attempt solving this; did so in remarkably the similar way. Similar, but rather attractively different (and less algebra)...
    № 0.1: Let (𝒔) be the side of the square. '𝒔 = 1'
    № 0.2: Let (𝒕) be radius of quarter circle. '𝒕 = √(2) - 1'
    № 0.3: Let (𝒓) be the desired lil' circle radius;
    № 0.4: Let (𝒌) be height from lower-right to lil circle radius's intercept.
    Solving first for 𝒌…
    № 1.1: (𝒔 - 𝒓)² + 𝒌² = (𝒔 + 𝒓)² expand
    № 1.2: 𝒌² = (𝒔² + 2𝒔𝒓 + 𝒓²) - (𝒔² - 2𝒔𝒓 + 𝒓²)
    № 1.3: 𝒌² = 4𝒔𝒓
    № 1.4: 𝒌 = 2√𝒔𝒓
    Dunno if [1.4] will be used, but good to say, anyway.
    Now, working with upper-corner quarter circle
    № 2.1: (𝒔 - 𝒌)² + 𝒓² = (𝒕 + 𝒓)² … rearrange
    № 2.2: (𝒔 - 2√𝒔𝒓)² + 𝒓² = ((√2 - 1) + 𝒓)² … with (𝒔 = 1), so
    № 2.3: (1 - 2√𝒓)² + 𝒓² = ((√2 - 1) + 𝒓)²
    № 2.4: 1 - 4√𝒓 + 4𝒓 + 𝒓² = (√2 - 1)² + 2(√2 - 1)𝒓 + 𝒓²
    Cancel the 𝒓² both sides, rearrange into a pseudo-quadratic
    № 2.5: 0 = (2 - 2√2) + (2√2 - 6)𝒓 + 4√𝒓; and let
    № 3.1: 𝒒 = √𝒓 substitute into [2.5]
    № 3.2: 0 = (2 - 2√2) + (2√2 - 6)𝒒² + 4𝒒 … quadratic, so solving for 𝒒;
    № 3.3: 𝒒 = [ 0.26120, 1.00000 ], and reversing [3.1] to find 𝒓
    № 3.4: 𝒓 = [ 0.06823 ];

    For me, decimal numbers are sensible and all others are irrational. If Mike would have gone to sensible numbers early-on in the problem, he might not have confused himself so much and his solution might have been errorfree. But then, if even Mike can screw up once in a while, I guess we all deserve a little latitude.

      Maybe you want the other root provided by the quadratic formula. Your answer might be for a circle that obeys the stated tangency requirements but does so in some unexpected configuration, perhaps enclosing some of the other arcs or extending them to full circles to reach the tangent points.
