As shown above, point F F is the focus of the parabola C : y 2 = 4 x C: y^2=4x , and line l l passing through K ( 1 , 0 ) K(-1,0) intersects with C C at point A , B A,B , and A , D A,D are symmetry about the x-axis.

If F A F B = 8 9 \overrightarrow{FA} \cdot \overrightarrow{FB}=\dfrac{8}{9} , then find the equation of the incircle of B D K \triangle BDK .

The equation can be expressed as: ( x a ) 2 + ( y b ) 2 = r 2 (x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2 . Submit 1000 ( a + b + r ) \lfloor 1000(a+b+r) \rfloor .

Let A A have coordinates A ( p 2 4 , p ) A(\frac{p^2}{4}, p) . Then the equation of line A K AK is y = 4 p p 2 + 4 ( x + 1 ) y = \frac{4p}{p^2 + 4}(x + 1) , and the other intersection with parabola y 2 = 4 x y^2 = 4x is B ( 4 p 2 , 4 p ) B(\frac{4}{p^2}, \frac{4}{p}) . As the focus of parabola y 2 = 4 x y^2 = 4x , F F has coordinates F ( 1 , 0 ) F(1, 0) , and by symmetry, D D has coordinates D ( p 2 4 , p ) D(\frac{p^2}{4}, -p) .

Since F A F B = 8 9 \overrightarrow{FA} \cdot \overrightarrow{FB} = \frac{8}{9} , ( p 2 4 1 ) ( 4 p 2 1 ) = p 4 p = 8 9 (\frac{p^2}{4} - 1)(\frac{4}{p^2} - 1) = p \cdot \frac{4}{p} = \frac{8}{9} , which rearranges to 9 p 4 184 p 2 + 144 = 0 9p^4 - 184p^2 + 144 = 0 , or p = 1 3 ( ± 8 ± 2 7 ) p = \frac{1}{3}(\pm 8 \pm 2\sqrt{7}) . Without loss of generality, and to match the given picture, choose p = 1 3 ( 8 2 7 ) p = \frac{1}{3}(8 - 2\sqrt{7}) .

Substituting p = 1 3 ( 8 2 7 ) p = \frac{1}{3}(8 - 2\sqrt{7}) , the coordinates for B B and D D are now B ( 1 9 ( 23 + 8 7 ) , 2 3 ( 4 + 7 ) ) B(\frac{1}{9}(23 + 8\sqrt{7}), \frac{2}{3}(4 + \sqrt{7})) and D ( 1 9 ( 23 8 7 ) , 1 3 ( 8 + 2 7 ) ) D(\frac{1}{9}(23 - 8\sqrt{7}), \frac{1}{3}(-8 + 2\sqrt{7})) .

Using the distance formula, B D = 64 9 BD = \frac{64}{9} , B K = 10 9 23 + 8 7 BK = \frac{10}{9}\sqrt{23 + 8\sqrt{7}} , and D K = 10 9 23 8 7 DK = \frac{10}{9}\sqrt{23 - 8\sqrt{7}}

The center ( a , b ) (a, b) of the incircle of B D K \triangle BDK is a = B D K x + B K D x + D K B x B D + B K + D K a = \frac{BD \cdot K_x + BK \cdot D_x + DK \cdot B_x}{BD + BK + DK} and b = B D K y + B K D y + D K B y B D + B K + D K b = \frac{BD \cdot K_y + BK \cdot D_y + DK \cdot B_y}{BD + BK + DK} , which solves to a = 1 9 a = \frac{1}{9} and b = 0 b = 0 .

The radius r r of the incircle of B D K \triangle BDK is r = s ( s B D ) ( s B K ) ( s D K ) s r = \frac{\sqrt{s(s - BD)(s - BK)(s - DK)}}{s} where s = 1 2 ( B D + B K + D K ) s = \frac{1}{2}(BD + BK + DK) , which solves to r = 2 3 r = \frac{2}{3} .

Therefore, 1000 ( a + b + r ) = 777 \lfloor 1000(a + b + r) \rfloor = \boxed{777} .

Centre of the circle is at ( 1 9 , 0 ) (\dfrac{1}{9},0) , and it's radius is 2 3 \dfrac{2}{3} .

So the expression is equal to 1000 ( 1 9 + 0 + 2 3 ) = 777 \lfloor 1000\left (\dfrac{1}{9}+0+\dfrac{2}{3}\right )\rfloor =\boxed {777} .
