If: y = 2x+1.25 and y^2 = 10x
Then: (2x+1.25)^2 = 10x
So: 4x^2 +5x+1.5625 = 10x => 4x^2 -5x+1.5625 = 0
Proof 1: The discriminant of the quadratic equation = 0
Proof 2: The solutions of the quadratic both equal 5/8
Proof 3: Plot the line of y = 2x+5/4 and the curve of y^2 = 10x on the Cartesian plane which will result in a contact point of (5/8, 5/2) making the line tangent to the curve.

In trig, the secant squared divided by the tangent equals the hypotenuse squared divided by the product of the opposite and adjacent sides of the triangle.Details: secant = hypotenuse/adjacent (H/A) and tangent = opposite/adjacent (A/O);Then secant2/tangent = (H2/A2)/(O/A) = H2/A2 x A/O = H2/AO.
They are +/- 5*sqrt(2)

equation 1: y = x-4 => y2 = x2-8x+16 when both sides are squared equation 2: x2+y2 = 8 Substitute equation 1 into equation 2: x2+x2-8x+16 = 8 => 2x2-8x+8 = 0 If the discriminant of the above quadratic equation is zero then this is proof that the line is tangent to the curve: The discriminant: b2-4ac = (-8)2-4*2*8 = 0 Therefore the discriminant is equal to zero thus proving that the line is tangent to the curve.
It is (-0.3, 0.1)
Circle equation: x^2 +y^2 -8x +4y = 30 Tangent line equation: y = x+4 Centre of circle: (4, -2) Slope of radius: -1 Radius equation: y--2 = -1(x-4) => y = -x+2 Note that this proves that tangent of a circle is always at right angles to its radius
If the line y = 2x+1.25 is a tangent to the curve y^2 = 10x then it works out that when x = 5/8 then y = 5/2
Equation of circle: x^2 +y^2 -8x -y +5 = 0Completing the squares: (x-4)^2 +(y-0.5)^2 = 11.25Centre of circle: (4, 0.5)Slope of radius: -1/2Slope of tangent: 2Equation of tangent: y-2 = 2(x-1) => y = 2xNote that the above proves the tangent of a circle is always at right angles to its radius
