AIME 2002b Problem 15

  • Paper
  • Answer

Circles C1\mathcal{C}_{1} and C2\mathcal{C}_{2} intersect at two points, one of which is (9,6)(9,6), and the product of the radii is 6868. The x-axis and the line y=mxy = mx, where m>0m > 0, are tangent to both circles. It is given that mm can be written in the form ab/ca\sqrt {b}/c, where aa, bb, and cc are positive integers, bb is not divisible by the square of any prime, and aa and cc are relatively prime. Find a+b+ca + b + c.
