Step-by-step solution

7 steps

1) Find equation of circle with center $(0,0)$ radius 5

  1. Recall the standard equation of a circle.

    The equation of a circle with center (h,k)(h,k) and radius rr is given by:

    (x−h)2+(y−k)2=r2(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2
  2. Substitute the given values.

    Given center (h,k)=(0,0)(h,k) = (0,0) and radius r=5r = 5.
    Substitute h=0h=0, k=0k=0, and r=5r=5 into the equation:

    (x−0)2+(y−0)2=52(x-0)^2 + (y-0)^2 = 5^2
  3. Simplify the equation.

    x2+y2=25x^2 + y^2 = 25

    The equation of the circle is x2+y2=25\boxed{x^2 + y^2 = 25}.

    2) State equation of tangent to x2+y2=25x^2 + y^2 = 25 at (3,4)(3,4)

  4. Identify the center and radius squared of the circle.

    The given equation of the circle is x2+y2=25x^2 + y^2 = 25.
    This is a circle centered at the origin (0,0)(0,0) with r2=25r^2 = 25.

  5. Use the formula for the tangent to a circle centered at the origin.

    For a circle x2+y2=r2x^2 + y^2 = r^2, the equation of the tangent at a point (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) on the circle is given by:

    xx1+yy1=r2x x_1 + y y_1 = r^2
  6. Substitute the given point and r2r^2 value.

    The point of tangency is (x1,y1)=(3,4)(x_1, y_1) = (3,4) and r2=25r^2 = 25.
    Substitute x1=3x_1=3, y1=4y_1=4, and r2=25r^2=25 into the tangent equation:

    x(3)+y(4)=25x(3) + y(4) = 25
  7. Simplify the equation.

    3x+4y=253x + 4y = 25

    The equation of the tangent is 3x+4y=25\boxed{3x + 4y = 25}.
