Math Problem Statement

circle: b1^2+(b-r)^2=r^2 line: b2=-2/10rb1+2r point b is on the intersection of the circle and the line what are the x and y coordinates of point B? x=b1 and y=b2

Solution

We are given the equations of a circle and a line, and point BB is at their intersection. Let's solve for the coordinates of point BB where:

  1. The equation of the circle is: b12+(b2r)2=r2b_1^2 + (b_2 - r)^2 = r^2

  2. The equation of the line is: b2=210rb1+2r=15rb1+2rb_2 = -\frac{2}{10}r b_1 + 2r = -\frac{1}{5}r b_1 + 2r

We need to find the xx-coordinate b1b_1 and the yy-coordinate b2b_2 of point BB. To do this, we substitute the line equation into the circle equation and solve for b1b_1.

Step 1: Substitute the line equation into the circle equation

Substitute b2=15rb1+2rb_2 = -\frac{1}{5}r b_1 + 2r into the circle equation: b12+(15rb1+2rr)2=r2b_1^2 + \left(-\frac{1}{5}r b_1 + 2r - r\right)^2 = r^2

Simplify the expression inside the square: b12+(15rb1+r)2=r2b_1^2 + \left(-\frac{1}{5}r b_1 + r\right)^2 = r^2

Step 2: Expand the square term

b12+((15rb1)+r)2=b12+(15rb1+r)2b_1^2 + \left(\left(-\frac{1}{5}r b_1\right) + r\right)^2 = b_1^2 + \left(-\frac{1}{5}r b_1 + r\right)^2 [ b_1^2 + \left(-\frac{1}{5}r b_1 + r\right)^2 = b_1^2 [ (b)+ need clarification two
