Solution of exercise 2
Calculate the equation of the circle that has its center at (2, −3) and has the x-axis as a tangent.
In this question, the circle has an x-axis as a tangent. A tangent is a straight line that touches a curve. This means that the "y coordinate" will be zero. We will use the distance formula to find the radius. Currently, we have 2 coordinates which are: C(2,-3), T(2,0)
Plugging the values of C and T:
Since we know the value of the radius and center of the circle, the equation will be:
