Chapter 10 Problem 10.7.45

Question

CHALLENGE The intersecting lines m and n are tangent to (C at the points (8, 6) and (10, 8), respectively. a. What is the intersection point of m and n if the radius r of (C is 2? What is their intersection point if r is 10? What do you notice about the two intersection points and the center C? b. Write the equation that describes the locus of intersection points of m and n for all possible values of r.

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 10 problem number 45 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: CHALLENGE The intersecting lines m and n are tangent to (C at the points (8, 6) and (10, 8), respectively. a. What is the intersection point of m and n if the radius r of (C is 2? What is their intersection point if r is 10? What do you notice about the two intersection points and the center C? b. Write the equation that describes the locus of intersection points of m and n for all possible values of r.
From the textbook chapter Use Properties of Tangents you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
