Question:medium

Let \[ S\equiv x^2+y^2-6x+4y+c=0,\qquad S'\equiv x^2+y^2-4x+6y+9=0, \] \[ S''\equiv x^2+y^2+5x+3y+k=0 \] be three circles. If the angles of intersection of the circle \(S'=0\) with the circles \(S=0\) and \(S''=0\) are respectively \[ \frac{\pi}{4} \quad\text{and}\quad \frac{\pi}{2}, \] then \(c+k=\)

Show Hint

For two intersecting circles, \[ \boxed{ \cos\theta = \frac{r_1^2+r_2^2-d^2}{2r_1r_2} } \] where \(d\) is the distance between their centres. For orthogonal circles, \[ \boxed{r_1^2+r_2^2=d^2.} \]
