Find equation tangent to a circle at given point

Physics
1 answer:
vlabodo [156]3 years ago
7 0

the equation of the tangent line must be passed on a point A (a,b) and perpendicular to the radius of the circle. <span>
I will take an example for a clear explanation:
let x² + y² = 4 is the equation of the circle, its center is C(0,0). And we assume that the tangent line passes to the point A(2.3).

</span>since the tangent passes to the A(2,3), the line must be perpendicular to the radius of the circle. 

<span>Let's find the equation of the line parallel to the radius.</span>

<span>The line passes to the A(2,3) and C (0,0). y= ax+b is the standard form of the equation. AC(-2, -3) is a vector parallel to CM(x, y).</span>

det(AC, CM)= -2y +3x =0, is the equation of the line // to the radius.

let's find the equation of the line perpendicular to this previous line.

let M a point which lies on the line. so MA.AC=0 (scalar product), 

it is (2-x, 3-y) . (-2, -3)= -4+4x + -9+3y=4x +3y -13=0 is the equation of tangent

OLEGan [10]

Answer: shorter/longer developing time.

Explanation:

Ideally, the time to process a radiographic image in the developer is 680 F for 5 minutes. But films may be removed from the fixing solution after 5 minutes (and fixed back) for viewing, only at emergencies like if the temperature of the developing solution is slightly above normal.

If the temperature of the developing solution is slightly above normal, the radiographic images of the required density may be produced by permitting a shorter/longer developing time.

Answer:

Every substance is made up of tiny units called atoms. Each atom has electrons, particles that carry electric charges. Spinning like tops, the electrons circle the nucleus, or core, of an atom. Their movement generates an electric current and causes each electron to act like a microscopic magnet

A snowboarder travels 150 m down a mountain slope that is 65 degrees above horizontal. What is his vertical displacement?
choli [55]
This can be answered using trigonometric analysis. This sloped path that is 150 m long is the hypotenuse of the triangle. The adjacent angle would then be 65 degrees. Given these:

sin 65 = h / 150

Where: h = vertical displacement = 150 (sin 65)
h = 135.95 meters
