How do you prove that the line y equals x-4 is tangent to the curve of x squared plus y squared equals 8?

equation 1: y = x-4 => y2 = x2-8x+16 when both sides are squared equation 2: x2+y2 = 8 Substitute equation 1 into equation 2: x2+x2-8x+16 = 8 => 2x2-8x+8 = 0 If the discriminant of the above quadratic equation is zero then this is proof that the line is tangent to the curve: The discriminant: b2-4ac = (-8)2-4*2*8 = 0 Therefore the discriminant is equal to zero thus proving that the line is tangent to the curve.


How do you prove in 3 different ways that the line of y equals x -4 is tangent to the curve of x squared plus y squared equals 8?

If: y = x-4 and y = x2+y2 = 8 then 2x2-8x+8 = 0 and the 3 ways of proof are: 1 Plot the given values on a graph and the line will touch the curve at one point 2 The discriminant of b2-4ac of 2x2-8x+8 must equal 0 3 Solving the equation gives x = 2 or x = 2 meaning the line is tangent to the curve


What are the values of k when kx plus y equals 4 is tangent to the curve y equals x squared plus 8 showing work?

If: kx+y = 4 and y = x^2+8 Then: x^2+8 = 4-kx => x^2+4+kx = 0 For the line to be tangent to the curve the discriminant of b^2-4(ac) must = 0 So: k^2-4(1*4) = 0 => k^2 -16 = 0 => k^2 = 16 => k = +/- 4 Therefore: y+4x = 4 and y-4x = 4 are tangents to the curve y = x^2+8
