AIME 2005b Problem 15

  • Paper
  • Answer

Let w1w_1 and w2w_2 denote the circles x2+y2+10x−24y−87=0x^2+y^2+10x-24y-87=0 and x2+y2−10x−24y+153=0,x^2 +y^2-10x-24y+153=0, respectively. Let mm be the smallest positive value of aa for which the line y=axy=ax contains the center of a circle that is externally tangent to w2w_2 and internally tangent to w1.w_1. Given that m2=pq,m^2=\frac pq, where pp and qq are relatively prime integers, find p+q.p+q.
