If a line y = mx + c , is a tangent to the circle (x - 3) ^ 2 + y ^...

If a line y=mx+cy = mx + c, is a tangent to the circle (x−3)2+y2=1{\left(x - 3\right)}^{2} + {y}^{2} = 1, and it is perpendicular to a line L1,{L}_{1}, where L1isthetangenttothecircle{L}_{1} is the tangent to the circle{x}^{2} + {y}^{2} = 1,atthepoint(12,12), at the point \left(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right), then

Options

  1. Ac2−7c+6=0{c}^{2} - 7c + 6 = 0
  2. Bc2+7c+6=0{c}^{2} + 7c + 6 = 0
  3. Cc2+6c+7=0{c}^{2} + 6c + 7 = 0
  4. Dc2−6c+7=0{c}^{2} - 6c + 7 = 0

Correct answer

C. c2+6c+7=0{c}^{2} + 6c + 7 = 0

Step-by-step solution

Slope of tangent to x2+y2=1{x}^{2} + {y}^{2} = 1 at \left(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)<br/><br />{x}^{2} + {y}^{2} = 1<br/><br />2x + 2y{y}^{'} = 0<br/><br />{y}^{'} = - \dfrac{x}{y} = - 1<br/>Giventhat,<br />Given that,y = mx + c,isperpendicularto, is perpendicular to{L}_{1},<br/>So,,<br />So,m = 1 ⇒ y = x + c</p><p>Nowdistanceof</p><p>Now distance of\left(3, 0\right)fromfromy = x + cis<br/>∣c+32∣=1is<br />\left|\dfrac{c + 3}{\sqrt{2}}\right| = 1
c2+6c+9=2{c}^{2} + 6c + 9 = 2
c2+6c+7=0{c}^{2} + 6c + 7 = 0.
