Let the equation of the circle,which touches the $x$-axis at the point $(a, 0), a > 0$ and cuts off an intercept of length $b$ on the $y$-axis,be $x^2 + y^2 - \alpha x + \beta y + \gamma = 0$. If the circle lies below the $x$-axis,then the ordered pair $(2a, b^2)$ is equal to:

  • A
    $(\alpha, \beta^2 + 4\gamma)$
  • B
    $(\gamma, \beta^2 - 4\alpha)$
  • C
    $(\gamma, \beta^2 + 4\alpha)$
  • D
    $(\alpha, \beta^2 - 4\gamma)$

For each natural number $k$,let $C_k$ denote the circle with radius $k$ centimeters and center at the origin. On the circle $C_k$,a particle moves $k$ centimeters in the counter-clockwise direction. After completing its motion on $C_k$,the particle moves to $C_{k+1}$ in the radial direction. The motion of the particle continues in this manner. The particle starts at $(1, 0)$. If the particle crosses the positive direction of the $x$-axis for the first time on the circle $C_n$,then $n$ is equal to
