Chapter 11 Problem 14

Question

The equation of a circle is xz + yz = Rz,where R is the radius of the circle. Write aprogram in a script file that ftrst derives theequation (symbolically) of the tangent line tothe circle at the point (x0, y0) on the upperpart of the circle (i.e., for -R < x0 < R and0 < y0 ). Then for specific values of R, x0, andy0 the program makes a plot, like the oneshown on the right, of the circle and the tangentline. Execute the program with R = 10and x0 = 7.

Solution

Step 1 of 6)

The first step in solving 11 problem number 14 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The equation of a circle is xz + yz = Rz,where R is the radius of the circle. Write aprogram in a script file that ftrst derives theequation (symbolically) of the tangent line tothe circle at the point (x0, y0) on the upperpart of the circle (i.e., for -R &lt; x0 &lt; R and0 &lt; y0 ). Then for specific values of R, x0, andy0 the program makes a plot, like the oneshown on the right, of the circle and the tangentline. Execute the program with R = 10and x0 = 7.
From the textbook chapter Symbolic Math All you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
