Answer from: hunter3978

Differentiate both sides of the equation of the circle with respect to , treating y=y(x) as a function of :

$x^2+y^2=5\implies2x+2y\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=0\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=-\dfrac xy$

This gives the slope of any line tangent to the circle at the point (x,y) .

Rewriting the given line in slope-intercept form tells us its slope is

$x=2y+5\implies y=\dfrac12x-\dfrac52\implies\mathrm{slope}=\dfrac12$

In order for this line to be tangent to the circle, it must intersect the circle at the point (x,y) such that

$-\dfrac xy=\dfrac12\implies y=-2x$

In the equation of the circle, we have

$x^2+(-2x)^2=5x^2=5\implies x=\pm1\implies y=\mp2$

If x=-1 , then $-1=2y+5\implies y=-3\neq2$ , so we omit this case.

If x=1 , then $1=2y+5\implies y=-2$ , as expected. Therefore x=2y+5 is a tangent line to the circle x^2+y^2=5 at the point (1, -2).

Explanation:

A tangent line will have a couple of characteristics:

there is exactly one point of intersection with the circlea perpendicular line through the point of tangency intersects the center of the circle

Substituting for x in the equation of the circle, we have ...

(2y+5)^2 +y^2 = 5

5y^2 +20y +20 = 0 . . . . simplify, subtract 5

5(y +2)^2 = 0 . . . . . . . . . factor

This equation has exactly one solution, at y = -2. The corresponding value of x is ...

x = 2(-2) +5 = 1

So, the line intersects the circle in exactly one point: (1, -2).

The center of the circle is (0, 0), so the line through the center and point of intersection is ...

y = -2x . . . . . . . . . slope is -2

The tangent line is ...

y = 1/2x -5/2 . . . . . . slope is 1/2

The product of slopes of these lines is (-2)(1/2) = -1, indicating the lines are perpendicular.

We have shown ...

the tangent line intersects the circle in one point: (1, -2)the tangent line is perpendicular to the radius at the point of tangency.

Answer from: Quest

on monday rodney ate 1/4th of the sandwich = 3/12

on tuesday he ate 1/3rd of the sandwich = 4/12

therefore in total he has eaten = 3/12 + 4/12 = 7/12

thus we can say that he has eaten 7/12 of the sandwich on monday and tuesday alltogether.

happy to
