find an equation for the circle that goes through the points (0, 0), (0, 8), and (6, 12). find an equation for the line that is tangent to this circle at (6, 12).

Sagot :

The equation for circle is 28g + 16f =260

and the equation of tangent to this circle is y = [tex]\frac{6}{12}[/tex] x +29

a) the main equation of circle is ax + by +2gx+ 2fy +c =0     --------- (1)

Now,

putting the points (0,0) , (0,8) and (6,12) one by one, we get,

 For the point (0,0), we get:

                c =o            ----------------------------- (2)

For the point (6,12), we get:

   6x +12y + c = (6)² + (12)²

⇒ 6x +12y +c = 36 +144

⇒ 6x +12y +c = 180          --------------------------- (3)

For the point (0,8), we get,

8y + c = 64                      ----------------------------- (4)

putting c=0,

     8y +0 = 64

⇒ y =64/8

⇒ y = 8

Putting c=0 and y =8, we get,

    6x + 12×8 +0 = 180

⇒ 6x + 96 =180

⇒ 6x = 84

⇒ x = 14

Putting all the values in equation (1), we get:

    (14)² + (8)² +28g +16g + 0 = 0

⇒ 196 + 64 + 28g +16f =0

⇒ 28g + 16f = 260

b) As we know the tangent from the circle:

       y = mx + c

⇒ 8 = -12/6 × 14 +c

⇒ c = 29

Therefore, the equation of the tangent is y = [tex]\frac{6}{12}[/tex]x + 29
