What is the value of k when y equals 3x plus 1 and is a line tangent to the curve of x squared plus y squared equals k?
k = 0.1
What are the possible value of k when the line y equals x plus k is a tangent to the circle x squared plus y squared equals 25?
They are +/- 5*sqrt(2)
How do you find the length of a leg on a right triangle when one leg and the slope of the hypotenuse is given?
Use tangent. Your equation will be tan(slope of hypotenuse) = opposite side / adjacent side. it's easier if you just do A squared plus b squared equals c squared. Then subtitute the numbers gived in.
What is the radius equation inside the circle x squared plus y squared -8x plus 4y equals 30 that meets the tangent line y equals x plus 4 on the Cartesian plane showing work?
Circle equation: x^2 +y^2 -8x +4y = 30 Tangent line equation: y = x+4 Centre of circle: (4, -2) Slope of radius: -1 Radius equation: y--2 = -1(x-4) => y = -x+2 Note that this proves that tangent of a circle is always at right angles to its radius
What is the equation of the tangent line that touches the circle x squared plus y squared -6x plus 4y equals 0 at the point of 6 -4 on the Cartesian plane?
Equation: x² + y² -6x +4y = 0 Completing the squares: (x-3)² + (y+2)² = 13 Centre of circle: (3, -2) Contact point: (6, -4) Slope of radius: -2/3 Slope of tangent: 3/2 Tangent equation: y - -4 = 3/2(x-6) => 2y - -8 = 3x-18 => 2y = 3x-26 Tangent line equation in its general form: 3x-2y-26 = 0
