Question

A point moving around circle (x+4)2+(y+2)2=25 with centre C broke away from it either at the point A or point B on the circle and moved along a tangent to the circle passing through the point D(3, -3). Find the following.
(i) Equation of the tangents at A and B
(ii) Coordinates of the points A and B
(iii) Angle ADB and the maximum and minimum distances of the point D from the circle.
(iv) Area of quadrilateral ABCD and the DAB
(v) Equation of the circle circumscribing the DAB and also the intercepts made by this circle on the coordinate axes.

For point A, intersection of AC and AD
For point B, intersection of BC and BD
Point A=(0,1)
B=(1,6)

(iii)
Minimum distance = =525
Maximum distance = =52+5

(iv)
Area of quadrilateral ABBC=52=25
Area of ODAB=12×25=12.5

(v)
Mid point of CD=(12,52)
Equation of circle
(x+12)2+(y+52)2=(522)2x2+y2+x+5y6=0
