What is the tangent equation that touches the circle x2 -y2 -8x -16y -209 equals 0 at the point of 21 and 8 on the Cartesian plane?

Point of contact: (21, 8) Equation of circle: x^2 -y^2 -8x -16y -209 = 0 Completing the squares: (x-4)^2 +(y-8)^2 = 289 Centre of circle: (4, 8) and its radius is 17 Slope of radius: 0 Slope of tangent: 0 Tangent equation of the circle: x = 21 meaning that the tangent line is parallel to the y axis and that the radius is parallel to the x axis.


What is the Differential equation of circles tangent to x-axis with solution?

If the circle and x-axis are tangential then the centre of the circle must be at a distance equal to the radius away from the x-axis. That is, the centre of the circle must lie on y = ±r (where r = radius) so that the coordinates of the centre are (a, ±r) So the equation of the set of circles is (x - a)2 + (y ± r)2 = r2 Differentiating gives 2*(x - a) + 2*(y ± r)*dy/dx = 0 (x - a) + (y ± r)*dy/dx = 0 so that dy/dx = (a - x)/(y ± r) It is not clear why you would want the differential equation, but you asked for it so you've got it!

Find the differential equation of all circles tangent to y-axis?

Let the circle with centre (a, b) be tangent to the y-axis. Then, the radius of the circle must be b. Therefore the equation of the circle is (x - a)2 + (y - b)2 = b2 or x2 - 2ax + a2 + y2 - 2by = 0 Then 2x - 2a + 2ydy/dx - 2bdy/dx = 0 ie x - a + ydy/dx - bdy/dx (y - b)dy/dx = a - x so dy/dx = (a - x)/(y - b) or -(x - a)/(y - b)

Does always a tangent to a circle pass through the center of the circle?

the tangent will never go through the center of a cirlce. The tangent is, by definition, a line that only intersects the circle at one point. If you look down a pencil along its long axis, so that it appears to be a circle, and place your finger on top of and perpendicular to the pencil, your finger is now tangent to the circle you see.


What is tangent to the x axis?

Well, since a tangent line touches a line in one spot, the Y axis could be considered tangent to the X axis.
