Question
Find the center of the circle(s) tangent to
5x – 2y – 1 = 0 at (1, 2) with a radius of 3.
Express your answer as ordered pairs with coordinates rounded to the
thousandths place, i.e. (3.123, 4.567).
The x-component of the center of one circle is (_
).
A The y-component of the center of one circle is (_
The x-component of the center of the other
circle is (_.
A The y-component of the
center of the other circle is (
v Hide hint for Question 3
Here you get two equations and two unknowns, since we know the center is
at some point (h,k) the distance between that point and the point on the circle
(1,2) is (1-h)2 + (2-K)2 = 32
We also know that the line containing the center of the circle is perpendicular
to the tangent line. Thus using what we know from equations of lines we, that
line's equation is y = -2/5x + 12/5
This gives us 2 equations and two unknowns. Since the first equation is
squared, we know that we will get two solutions (Verify by drawing the
picture).
