A circle C has the equation x2+y2−2x−4y−11=0. Find the coordinates of the points where the circle intersects the x-axis.
Diameter endpoints: Centre (2−1+5,22+6)=(2,4). Radius r2=(2−(−1))2+(4−2)2=32+22=13. Equation: (x−2)2+(y−4)2=13. [4 marks]
Verification:72+12−4(7)−2(1)−12=49+1−28−2−12=8. Wait, 50−42=8=0. (Correction: If the point is (7,1), the equation must be x2+y2−4x−2y−20=0. Based on provided equation x2+y2−4x−2y−12=0, point (7,1) does not lie on it. Correction for key: If point is (5,1)⟹25+1−20−2−12=−8. If point is (6,2)⟹36+4−24−4−12=0. Let's assume the student shows the substitution and concludes it does not lie on it, or the question had a typo. Correct answer for the given equation: 72+12−4(7)−2(1)−12=8=0). [2 marks]
Tangent: Gradient of radius mr=4/3. Gradient of tangent mt=−3/4. y−4=−43(x−3)⟹3x+4y=25. [4 marks]
