    Let the equation of the circle, which touches xx-axis at the point (a,0),a>0(a,0),a > 0 and cuts off an intercept of length bb on yy-axis be x2+y2−αx+βy+γ=0x^{2}+y^{2}- \alpha x + \beta y + \gamma = 0. If the circle lies below x-axis, then the ordered pair (2a,b2)\left( 2a,b^{2} \right) is equal to :
