Let’s go through the steps to solve this problem.
We are given:
- The circle has equation \( x^2 + y^2 = 9 \), so the radius \( r = 3 \).
- The chord is fixed at \( x = 2 \).
- The chord is rotated clockwise about the center \( (0,0) \) by \( \theta \) radians.
---
**Step 1: Find the endpoints of the chord before rotation.**
The chord is initially at \( x = 2 \). Substituting into the circle equation:
\[
2^2 + y^2 = 9 \Rightarrow y^2 = 5 \Rightarrow y = \pm \sqrt{5}.
\]
So the chord endpoints are \( A = (2, \sqrt{5}) \) and \( B = (2, -\sqrt{5}) \). The length is \( 2\sqrt{5} \).
---
**Step2: Rotate the chord by \( \theta \) clockwise.**
Rotation by \( \theta \) clockwise is equivalent to rotation by \( -\theta \) counterclockwise.
The rotation matrix for counterclockwise rotation by \( \theta \) is:
\[
R(\theta) = \begin{bmatrix} \cos\theta & -\sin\theta \\ \sin\theta & \cos\theta \end{bmatrix}.
\]
So for clockwise rotation by \( \theta \), we use \( R(-\theta) \):
\[
R(-\theta) = \begin{bmatrix} \cos\theta & \sin\theta \\ -\sin\theta & \cos\theta \end{bmatrix}.
\]
---
**Step3: Apply rotation to endpoints.**
Coordinates of \( A = (2, \sqrt{5}) \) after rotation:
\[
A' = \begin{bmatrix} \cos\theta & \sin\theta \\ -\sin\theta & \cos\theta \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 2 \\ \sqrt{5} \end{bmatrix}
= \begin{bmatrix} 2\cos\theta + \sqrt{5}\sin\theta \\ -2\sin\theta + \sqrt{5}\cos\theta \end{bmatrix}.
\]
Coordinates of \( B = (2, -\sqrt{5}) \) after rotation:
\[
B' = \begin{bmatrix} \cos\theta & \sin\theta \\ -\sin\theta & \cos\theta \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 2 \\ -\sqrt{5} \end{bmatrix}
= \begin{bmatrix} 2\cos\theta - \sqrt{5}\sin\theta \\ -2\sin\theta - \sqrt{5}\cos\theta \end{bmatrix}.
\]
---
**Step4: Find the perpendicular bisector.**
The midpoint \( M \) of \( A'B' \) is:
\[
M = \left( \frac{(2\cos\theta + \sqrt{5}\sin\theta) + (2\cos\theta - \sqrt{5}\sin\theta)}{2}, \frac{(-2\sin\theta + \sqrt{5}\cos\theta) + (-2\sin\theta - \sqrt{5}\cos\theta)}{2} \right)
\]
\[
= \left( \frac{4\cos\theta}{2}, \frac{-4\sin\theta}{2} \right) = (2\cos\theta, -2\sin\theta).
\]
The slope of \( A'B' \) can be found from \( A' = (2\cos\theta + \sqrt{5}\sin\theta, -2\sin\theta + \sqrt{5}\cos\theta) \) and \( B' = (2\cos\theta - \sqrt{5}\sin\theta, -2\sin\theta - \sqrt{5}\cos\theta) \).
The difference vector:
\[
\Delta A'B' = \left( 2\sqrt{5}\sin\theta, 2\sqrt{5}\cos\theta \right).
\]
So slope \( m = \frac{2\sqrt{5}\cos\theta}{2\sqrt{5}\sin\theta} = \cot\theta \).
Therefore, the perpendicular slope is \( -\tan\theta \).
---
**Step5: Equation of the perpendicular bisector.**
Using point-slope form at \( M = (2\cos\theta, -2\sin\theta) \):
\[
y - (-2\sin\theta) = -\tan\theta \, (x - 2\cos\theta)
\]
\[
y + 2\sin\theta = -\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta} (x - 2\cos\theta)
\Rightarrow y + 2\sin\theta = -\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta} x + 2\sin\theta.
\]
Simplify:
\[
y + 2\sin\theta = -\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta} x + 2\sin\theta
\Rightarrow y = -\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta} x.
\]
So the perpendicular bisector is:
\[
y = -(\tan\theta) x.
\]
---
**Step6: Find the envelope of the family.**
The envelope is found by eliminating \( \theta \) from the equation and its derivative with respect to \( \theta \).
The family of lines is:
\[
F(x,y,\theta) = y\cos\theta + x\sin\theta = 0.
\]
Wait, check: From \( y = -(\tan\theta) x \), multiply by \( \cos\theta \):
\[
y\cos\theta = - x\sin\theta \Rightarrow y\cos\theta + x\sin\theta = 0.
\]
So indeed, \( F(x,y,\theta) = y\cos\theta + x\sin\theta = 0 \).
---
**Step7: Differentiate with respect to \( \theta \).**
\[
\frac{\partial F}{\partial \theta} = -y\sin\theta + x\cos\theta = 0.
\]
So we have:
\[
y\cos\theta + x\sin\theta = 0 \quad (1)
\]
\[
-y\sin\theta + x\cos\theta = 0 \quad (2)
\]
From (2): \( x\cos\theta = y\sin\theta \Rightarrow \tan\theta = \frac{x}{y} \), provided \( y \neq 0 \).
From (1): \( y\cos\theta + x\sin\theta = 0 \).
Multiply (1) by \( \cos\theta \):
\[
y\cos^2\theta + x\sin\theta\cos\theta = 0.
\]
Using \( \sin\theta\cos\theta = \frac{1}{2}\sin 2\theta \), but maybe easier: substitute \( \sin\theta = \frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}} \), \( \cos\theta = \frac{y}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}} \) is tempting but careful: actually from \( \tan\theta = x/y \), we have:
Let \( t = \tan\theta = x/y \), then \( \sin\theta = \frac{t}{\sqrt{1+t^2}} = \frac{x/y}{\sqrt{1+(x/y)^2}} = \frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}} \), \( \cos\theta = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1+t^2}} = \frac{y}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}} \).
Plug into (1):
\[
y \cdot \frac{y}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}} + x \cdot \frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}} = 0
\Rightarrow \frac{y^2 + x^2}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}} = 0
\Rightarrow x^2 + y^2 = 0.
\]
This only gives \( (0,0) \), but \( (0,0) \) is inside the circle and not on the envelope? Wait, that’s strange — maybe we need to check the method.
---
Actually, the envelope method: We solve \( F=0 \) and \( F_\theta=0 \).
We have:
\[
y\cos\theta + x\sin\theta = 0 \quad (1)
\]
\[
-y\sin\theta + x\cos\theta = 0 \quad (2)
Multiply (1) by \( \cos\theta \), (2) by \( \sin\theta \), and add:
(1)×cosθ: \( y\cos^2\theta + x\sin\theta\cos\theta = 0 \)
(2)×sinθ: \( -y\sin^2\theta + x\sin\theta\cos\theta = 0 \)
Add: \( y(\cos^2\theta - \sin^2\theta) + 2x\sin\theta\cos\theta = 0 \)
\(\Rightarrow y\cos 2\theta + x\sin 2\theta = 0\).
Similarly, multiply (1) by \( \sin\theta \), (2) by \( \cos\theta \), and subtract:
(1)×sinθ: \( y\sin\theta\cos\theta + x\sin^2\theta = 0 \)
(2)×cosθ: \( -y\sin\theta\cos\theta + x\cos^2\theta = 0 \)
Subtract: \( x(\sin^2\theta + \cos^2\theta) = 0 \Rightarrow x = 0 \).
So from the envelope conditions, we get \( x = 0 \) and \( y\cos 2\theta + x\sin 2\theta = 0 \) becomes \( y\cos 2\theta = 0 \), so \( y=0 \) or \( \cos 2\theta=0 \). But \( x=0 \) and \( y=0 \) is just the point \( (0,0) \), which is not the envelope of a family of lines? Wait, maybe the envelope is not a curve but just a point? That seems unlikely.
---
Let’s check: The family of lines is the perpendicular bisector of the chord. As \( \theta \) varies, these lines should envelop some curve. The envelope shouldn't be just a point.
I suspect I made an algebra mistake. Let's re-derive cleanly.
---
We have family of lines: \( y\cos\theta + x\sin\theta = 0 \).
Partial derivative wrt \( \theta \): \( -y\sin\theta + x\cos\theta = 0 \).
So we have:
\[
y\cos\theta + x\sin\theta = 0 \quad (1)
\]
\[
-y\sin\theta + x\cos\theta = 0 \quad (2)
\]
Solve: From (2), \( x\cos\theta = y\sin\theta \Rightarrow \frac{x}{y} = \tan\theta \) (if \( y\neq 0 \)).
Plug into (1): \( y\cos\theta + x\sin\theta = y\cos\theta + (y\tan\theta)\sin\theta = y\cos\theta + y\frac{\sin^2\theta}{\cos\theta} = \frac{y}{\cos\theta}(\cos^2\theta + \sin^2\theta) = \frac{y}{\cos\theta} = 0 \).
So \( y = 0 \). Then from (2), \( x\cos\theta = 0 \Rightarrow x=0 \) (since \( \cos\theta \) not always 0).
So the envelope would be the point \( (0,0) \). But that can't be right for the family of perpendicular bisectors of a rotating chord.
---
I realize: The envelope is actually the set of points that lie on the perpendicular bisector for some \( \theta \), and are also on the perpendicular bisector for a nearby \( \theta \). But maybe the envelope is not given by \( F_\theta=0 \) because \( F=0 \) is not the family equation? Let's check.
Actually, the family of lines is given by \( y = -(\tan\theta) x \). This can be written as \( y + x\tan\theta = 0 \), but \( \tan\theta \) is the parameter. Let \( k = \tan\theta \), then family is \( y + k x = 0 \), with \( k \in \mathbb{R} \). But then the envelope of \( y + kx = 0 \) is found by differentiating wrt \( k \): \( x = 0 \), so the envelope is the y-axis? But that's not right either, because the lines are not all through the origin? Wait, they all pass through the origin? Check: \( y = -k x \) is a line through the origin. So the family is all lines through the origin. Then the envelope is just the origin? That seems plausible but the problem likely expects a curve.
---
Maybe I misinterpreted: The perpendicular bisector of the chord does not generally pass through the origin? Let's check.
For a chord rotated by \( \theta \), its perpendicular bisector is the line through the midpoint \( M \) with slope \( -\tan\theta \). That line is \( y - (-2\sin\theta) = -\tan\theta (x - 2\cos\theta) \), which gave \( y = -x\tan\theta \). So indeed, it always passes through the origin. So the family is all lines through the origin. Then the envelope of such a family is just the origin? But that can't be what the problem asks.
Perhaps the envelope is not of the perpendicular bisectors, but of the chords themselves? The problem says: "Find the envelope of the family of chords cut by the lines ..." Wait, re-read:
"Find the envelope of the family of chords cut by the lines \( x\cos\theta + y\sin\theta = 1 \) on the circle \( x^2 + y^2 = 9 \)."
Oh! I misinterpreted completely. The chord is not the perpendicular bisector; the chord is cut by the line \( x\cos\theta + y\sin\theta = 1 \) on the circle \( x^2+y^2=9 \). So the chord is the intersection of the line and the circle.
So the family of chords is given by the intersection of the line \( L_\theta: x\cos\theta + y\sin\theta = 1 \) with the circle \( x^2+y^2=9 \). The chord itself is the segment, but the envelope is likely the envelope of the lines \( L_\theta \) themselves, not of the chords? But the problem says "family of chords", so the envelope should be the curve that is tangent to all these chords.
But each chord is a segment on the circle? Actually, no: The chord is the intersection of the line and the circle. As \( \theta \) varies, the line moves, and the chord moves. The envelope of the family of chords (the segments) would be the set of points that are on some chord and are limit points of intersections of nearby chords. That is likely the circle itself? But the circle is fixed, so the chords lie on the circle? Actually, the chord is inside the circle, so the envelope of the chords might be the circle? But that seems too trivial.
Wait, let's re-read: "Find the envelope of the family of chords cut by the lines \( x\cos\theta + y\sin\theta = 1 \) on the circle \( x^2 + y^2 = 9 \)."
Interpretation: For each \( \theta \), the line \( L_\theta \) cuts the circle, forming a chord. As \( \theta \) varies, we get a family of chords. The envelope of this family is the curve that is tangent to all these chords. It is like the curve that is the boundary of the union of all these chords.
This is a typical problem: The chord is the intersection of the line and the circle. The envelope of the chords is likely an ellipse or something.
Let me solve it properly.
---
**Step1: Equation of the chord.**
The line is \( L_\theta: x\cos\theta + y\sin\theta = 1 \). The intersection with the circle \( x^2+y^2=9 \) gives a chord. The chord is the set of points on the circle that lie on the line or between the intersection points. But for the envelope, we need the equation of the chord as a line segment? Actually, the envelope is the boundary of the region swept by the chords. So we need the family of chords, and then find the envelope.
Alternatively, note that the chord is the intersection of the circle and the line. The family of chords is given by the family of lines \( L_\theta \) restricted to the circle. The envelope of the chords might be the envelope of the lines \( L_\theta \) themselves? But that would be the envelope of the lines, not the chords. The chords are segments, so their envelope should be the curve that is tangent to all these segments. This is likely the circle itself? But that seems too simple.
Maybe the envelope is the curve that is the boundary of the union of all chords. As \( \theta \) varies, the chord moves. The union of all chords is the region inside the circle that is cut by some line of the form \( x\cos\theta+y\sin\theta=1 \). That region is the set of points inside the circle that satisfy \( x\cos\theta+y\sin\theta \leq 1 \) for some \( \theta \). This is equivalent to the condition that the distance from the origin to the point is less than or equal to 1? Not exactly.
The distance from the origin to the line \( x\cos\theta+y\sin\theta=1 \) is 1. So the line is tangent to the circle of radius 1 centered at the origin. The circle we have is radius 3, so the line will cut the circle if the distance from the origin to the line is less than the radius, i.e., 1 < 3, so it always cuts the circle. So for each \( \theta \), the line cuts the circle, and the chord is the intersection.
The union of all chords is the set of points inside the circle that can be written as intersection of the circle with some line \( x\cos\theta+y\sin\theta=1 \). That is, a point \( (x,y) \) on the circle is on some chord if there exists \( \theta \) such that \( x\cos\theta+y\sin\theta=1 \) and the point is on the circle. But if the point is on the circle, then it is on the chord for that \( \theta \) if it satisfies the line equation. So the union of all chords on the circle is exactly the set of points on the circle that satisfy \( x\cos\theta+y\sin\theta=1 \) for some \( \theta \). That is, the set of points \( (x,y) \) on the circle such that the distance from the origin to the point is at least 1? Actually, \( x\cos\theta+y\sin\theta \) is the projection of \( (x,y) \) onto the unit vector \( (\cos\theta,\sin\theta) \). So the condition is that there is some direction such that the projection is 1. This is equivalent to \( \sqrt{x^2+y^2} \cos\phi = 1 \) for some \( \phi \), which means \( \sqrt{x^2+y^2} \geq 1 \). But since \( x^2+y^2=9 \) on the circle, this is always true. So every point on the circle is on some chord? That can't be right because if a point is on the circle, it is on the line for some \( \theta \) if \( x\cos\theta+y\sin\theta=1 \). For a given point \( (x,y) \) on the circle, can we find \( \theta \) such that \( x\cos\theta+y\sin\theta=1 \)? This is possible if \( \sqrt{x^2+y^2} \geq 1 \), which is true since radius=3. So indeed, every point on the circle is on some chord. But then the union of all chords is the entire circle? That would mean the envelope is the circle itself? But then the chords are segments inside the circle, so their union is not the circle; the chords are the segments, so the union is the set of points inside the circle that are on some chord. That set is likely the annulus or something.
Let's find the union of all chords. A point \( (x,y) \) inside the circle is on some chord if there exists \( \theta \) such that the point lies on the line \( x\cos\theta+y\sin\theta=1 \) and the line cuts the circle. But if the point is inside the circle, it will be on some line through it that cuts the circle if the distance from the origin to the point is less than the radius? Actually, for a fixed point \( (x,y) \) inside the circle, the condition to be on a line of the family is that there exists \( \theta \) such that \( x\cos\theta+y\sin\theta=1 \). This is possible if the distance from the origin to the point is less than or equal to 1? Let's check: The maximum of \( x\cos\theta+y\sin\theta \) over \( \theta \) is \( \sqrt{x^2+y^2} \). So there exists \( \theta \) such that \( x\cos\theta+y\sin\theta=1 \) if and only if \( \sqrt{x^2+y^2} \geq 1 \). So the union of all chords is the set of points inside the circle that have distance from origin \( \geq 1 \). That is, the annulus \( 1 \leq r \leq 3 \) inside the circle.
So the envelope of the family of chords should be the boundary of this union, which is the circle \( r=1 \) and the circle \( r=3 \). But \( r=3 \) is the given circle, so the envelope likely is the inner circle \( r=1 \).
I think the envelope is the circle \( x^2+y^2=1 \).
Let me check with a typical envelope method for the family of chords.
---
**Alternate approach:** The chord is the intersection of the circle and the line. The chord can be represented by its midpoint or its equation. The envelope of the chords is the curve that is tangent to all these chords. For a line cutting a circle, the envelope of such chords when the line has a fixed distance from the origin is known to be a concentric circle. I recall that for a circle \( x^2+y^2=R^2 \) and a line at distance \( d \) from the origin, the envelope of the chords as the line rotates is the circle \( x^2+y^2=d^2 \) if \( d
