A  circle with centre (2,-1) have a tangent 3x+y=0.Find the equation of the other tangent which passes through the origion??

You cannot control circumstances.....
But you can control thinking over them......

first find the radius of the circle using the centre  co-ordinates and the equation of the tangent which is given.........  Then using the radius and the centre find out the equation of the circle.....  
 Then by using this... ( in circle equation)
x.x1 + y.y1 + g( x + x1) + f( y+y1) + c = 0  
put (x1, y1) as (0.0) as the tangent passes through origin.... 
is this right?  sorry can't post the complete solution..

seriously ,But i feel there is some problem in my solution itself .....can neone point it out...  i think it related to he tangency condition..?????

assume the circle in the general form
then center is given, substitute values of -g ,-f
then xx1 + yy1 + 2gx + 2fy +c = 0 , represents a tangent at (x1,y1)
but 3x + y =0
compare coefficients.
proceed to get the circles eqn
then find thr reqd, tangent !

A  circle with centre (2,-1) have a tangent 3x+y=0.Find the equation of the other tangent which passes through the origion??

radius(R)= perp dist from center to tangent...

R = | (6-1)/10 | = 5/10 = (5/2) ==>R2 = 5/2

eqn of circle (x-2)2 + (y+1)2 = 5/2 ..............1

any tangent from origin y = mx
putting in 1

(x-2)2 + (mx+1)2 = 5/2

x2 + 4 - 4x + (mx)2 + 1 + 2mx = 5/2
=> (1+m2) x2 - (4 - 2m) x + 5 = 5/2
=> (1+m2) x2 - (4 - 2m) x + 5/2 = 0

since it is tangent, therefore delta = 0

(4 - 2m)2 - 10(1+m2) = 0
=> 3m2 + 8m -3 = 0
m = -3 and 1/3

so eqns are y = -3x and y = x/3

or y + 3x = 0 and 3y - x = 0 ......ans

to prevent confusion i want to tell something about radius
from sharma sir,
 
r=mod[5/10]
 
  =mod[ (5 5)  /  (25)
 
  =mod[5/2]
 
hence ,r2=5/2
 
P.S:i was stranded here for some time as   was missing in 2.so i thought of clearing it
thank you sirs
bye,

IF U THINK U CAN, U CAN........IF U THINK U CAN'T, U CAN'T.........

BE THE BEST OF WHAT EVER YOU ARE!!!

THEN U WILL SUCCEED FOR SURE!!!
