Let $P$ be a point and $\omega$ be a circle with center $O$ and radius $r$ . We define the power of the point $P$ with respect to the circle $\omega$ to be $OP^2 - r^2$ , and we denote this by pow $(P, \omega)$. We define the radical axis of two circles $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ to be the locus of all points P such that pow $(P,\omega_1) =$ pow $(P,\omega_2)$. It turns out that the pairwise radical axes of three circles are either concurrent or pairwise parallel. The concurrence point is referred to as the radical center of the three circles.
In $\vartriangle ABC$, let $I$ be the incenter, $\Gamma$ be the circumcircle, and $O$ be the circumcenter. Let $A_1,B_1,C_1$ be the point of tangency of the incircle of $\vartriangle ABC$ with side $BC,CA, AB$, respectively. Let $X_1,X_2 \in \Gamma$ such that $X_1,B_1,C_1,X_2$ are collinear in this order. Let $M_A$ be the midpoint of $BC$, and define $\omega_A$ as the circumcircle of $\vartriangle X_1X_2M_A$. Define $\omega_B$ ,$\omega_C$ analogously. The goal of this problem is to show that the radical center of $\omega_A$, $\omega_B$, $\omega_C$ lies on line $OI$.
(a) Let$ A'_1$ denote the intersection of $B_1C_1$ and $BC$. Show that $\frac{A_1B}{A_1C}=\frac{A'_1B}{A'_1C}$.
(b) Prove that $A_1$ lies on $\omega_A$.
(c) Prove that $A_1$ lies on the radical axis of $\omega_B$ and $\omega_C$ .
(d) Prove that the radical axis of $\omega_B$ and $\omega_C$ is perpendicular to $B_1C_1$.
(e) Prove that the radical center of $\omega_A$, $\omega_B$, $\omega_C$ is the orthocenter of $\vartriangle A_1B_1C_1$.
(f ) Conclude that the radical center of $\omega_A$, $\omega_B$, $\omega_C$ , $O$, and $I$ are collinear.
