4 intersecton points of 2 conic circles are always concyclic?

34 Views Asked by At

Given 2 conic section of type

$$ax^2+2hxy+by^2+2gx+2fy+c=0$$ have 4 intersection points. Are the points for sure concyclic?

If yes, does the proof come from the fact that I can create an infite amount of new conic section using the linear combination of them and there is for sure a value of lambda that will give me a circle?

No. In geogebra varying coefficients you can easily find counterexamples. false

This has solutions

$(1,0),(\frac1{\sqrt{3}},\frac1{\sqrt{3}}),(-\frac1{\sqrt{3}},-\frac1{\sqrt{3}}),(\frac37,-\frac87).$

Which you can check are not concyclic: $(x-1/6)^2+(y+1/6)^2=13/18$ does not contain $(\frac37,-\frac87).$
