The abscissa of the two points A and B are the roots of the equation $${x^2}\, + \,2ax\, - {b^2} = 0$$ and their ordinates are the roots of the equation $${x^2}\, + \,2px\, - {q^2} = 0$$. Find the equation and the radius of the circle with AB as diameter.
Through a fixed point (h, k) secants are drawn to the circle $$\,{x^2}\, + \,{y^2} = \,{r^2}$$. Show that the locus of the mid-points of the secants intercepted by the circle is $$\,{x^2}\, + \,{y^2} $$ = $$hx + ky$$.
