The tangent to the circle centred at (0, 0) and with radius = 1 at point $\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}},\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)$ on it is given by |
$x-y=0$ $x+y=\sqrt{2}$ $2\sqrt{2}x-3\sqrt{2}y=-1$ $3\sqrt{2}x+\sqrt{2}y=4$ |
$x+y=\sqrt{2}$ |
centre (0, 0) radius = 1 eqn of circle: $(x-0)^2+(y-0)^=1^2$ $⇒x^2+y^2=1$ finding slope of tangent at $\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}},\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)$ differentiating eqn w.r.t x $2x+2y\frac{dy}{dx}=0$ $\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}\frac{dy}{dx}]_{(x,y)=\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}},\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)}=0$ so $\frac{dy}{dx}=-1$ (slope) eq: of tangent → $(y-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})=-1(x-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})$ $⇒x+y=\sqrt{2}$ |
