The equation of the given circle \( x^2 + y^2 - 6|x| = 0 \) represents two circles, one with \( x \geq 0 \) and another with \( x < 0 \).
This equation can be rewritten as: \[ x^2 + y^2 = 6x \quad \text{for} \quad x \geq 0. \] Now, to find the equation of the circle that touches these two circles and has a radius of 3, we use the general formula for the equation of a circle: \[ (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2, \] where \( (h, k) \) is the center of the circle and \( r \) is its radius. By solving this geometrically or using the condition for tangency, we find that the correct equation is \( x^2 + y^2 + 6\sqrt{3}y + 18 = 0 \) or \( x^2 + y^2 - 6\sqrt{3}y + 18 = 0 \).
Let the function $ f(x) $ be defined as follows: $$ f(x) = \begin{cases} (1 + | \sin x |)^{\frac{a}{|\sin x|}}, & -\frac{\pi}{6}<x<0 \\b, & x = 0 \\ \frac{\tan 2x}{\tan 3x}, & 0<x<\frac{\pi}{6} \end{cases} $$ Then the values of $ a $ and $ b $ are:
