1. **State the problem:**
We are given the line equation $y = -\frac{4}{3}x + 4$ and need to:
(i) Show that the coordinates of $C$ are $(3,0)$.
(ii) Find the equation of circle $C_1$ with center $C$ passing through points $A(0,4)$ and $B(8,0)$.
(iii) Given $GF$ is the diameter of circle $C_2$ passing through $C$, $F$, and $G$, calculate the radius of $C_2$.
2. **Show that $C = (3,0)$ lies on the line:**
Substitute $x=3$ into the line equation:
$$y = -\frac{4}{3} \times 3 + 4 = -4 + 4 = 0$$
So, $C = (3,0)$ satisfies the line equation.
3. **Find the equation of circle $C_1$ with center $C(3,0)$ passing through $A(0,4)$:**
The radius $r$ is the distance from $C$ to $A$:
$$r = \sqrt{(0-3)^2 + (4-0)^2} = \sqrt{9 + 16} = \sqrt{25} = 5$$
4. **Write the equation of circle $C_1$:**
The general form is:
$$ (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2 $$
where center is $(h,k) = (3,0)$ and $r=5$:
$$ (x - 3)^2 + (y - 0)^2 = 25 $$
5. **Calculate the radius of circle $C_2$ with diameter $GF$:**
Since $GF$ is the diameter, radius $r_2 = \frac{1}{2} \times GF$.
6. **Find coordinates of $F$ and $G$:**
Points $F$ and $G$ lie on circle $C_1$ and on the normal line $y = -\frac{4}{3}x + 4$.
Since $C$ is center and $F$ lies on the circle and line, find $F$ by solving:
$$ (x - 3)^2 + \left(-\frac{4}{3}x + 4\right)^2 = 25 $$
Expand and simplify:
$$ (x - 3)^2 + \left(-\frac{4}{3}x + 4\right)^2 = 25 $$
$$ (x - 3)^2 + \left(-\frac{4}{3}x + 4\right)^2 = 25 $$
Calculate each term:
$$ (x - 3)^2 = x^2 - 6x + 9 $$
$$ \left(-\frac{4}{3}x + 4\right)^2 = \left(-\frac{4}{3}x\right)^2 - 2 \times \frac{4}{3}x \times 4 + 4^2 = \frac{16}{9}x^2 - \frac{32}{3}x + 16 $$
Sum:
$$ x^2 - 6x + 9 + \frac{16}{9}x^2 - \frac{32}{3}x + 16 = 25 $$
Multiply all terms by 9 to clear denominators:
$$ 9x^2 - 54x + 81 + 16x^2 - 96x + 144 = 225 $$
Combine like terms:
$$ 25x^2 - 150x + 225 = 225 $$
Subtract 225 from both sides:
$$ 25x^2 - 150x + 225 - 225 = 0 $$
$$ 25x^2 - 150x = 0 $$
Divide both sides by 25:
$$ \cancel{25}x^2 - \cancel{25}6x = 0 $$
$$ x^2 - 6x = 0 $$
Factor:
$$ x(x - 6) = 0 $$
So, $x=0$ or $x=6$.
7. **Find corresponding $y$ values:**
For $x=0$:
$$ y = -\frac{4}{3} \times 0 + 4 = 4 $$
So $F = (0,4)$.
For $x=6$:
$$ y = -\frac{4}{3} \times 6 + 4 = -8 + 4 = -4 $$
So $G = (6,-4)$.
8. **Calculate length $GF$:**
$$ GF = \sqrt{(6-0)^2 + (-4-4)^2} = \sqrt{36 + 64} = \sqrt{100} = 10 $$
9. **Calculate radius of circle $C_2$:**
$$ r_2 = \frac{GF}{2} = \frac{10}{2} = 5 $$
**Final answers:**
(i) $C = (3,0)$ lies on the line.
(ii) Equation of circle $C_1$:
$$ (x - 3)^2 + y^2 = 25 $$
(iii) Radius of circle $C_2$ is $5$.
