7) In this problem, we can see that both tangent lines to that circle come from the same point O.
So, we can write out the following considering that there is one secant line DO and one tangent line to the circle AO
Answer:
(1, 8.5 ) and ( - 17, 80.5 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
y = x² + 4x + 4 → (1)
y = - 4x + 12 → (2)
Substitute (1) into (2), that is
x² + 4x + 4 = - 4x + 12
( multiply through by 2 to clear the fractions )
x² + 8x + 8 = - 8x + 25 ( add 8x to both sides )
x² + 16x + 8 = 25 ( subtract 25 from both sides )
x² + 16x - 17 = 0 ← in standard form
(x + 17)(x - 1) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 17 = 0 ⇒ x = - 17
x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1
Substitute these values into either of the 2 equations and evaluate for y
Substituting into (2 )
x = 1 : y = - 4(1) + 12.5 = - 4 + 12.5 = 8.5 ⇒ (1, 8.5 )
x = - 17 : y = - 4(- 17) + 12.5 = 68 + 12.5 = 80.5 ⇒ (- 17, 80.5 )
