You've provided two mathematical equations:
- \((x - 2)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 16\) (which represents a circle centered at (2, 3) with a radius of 4)
- \(y = x\) (which represents a line at a 45-degree angle through the origin)
To find the points of intersection between the circle and the line, we can substitute \(y = x\) into the circle's equation.
Starting with the circle's equation:
\[ (x - 2)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 16 \]
Substituting \(y = x\):
\[ (x - 2)^2 + (x - 3)^2 = 16 \]
Now, expand the squares:
\[ (x - 2)^2 = x^2 - 4x + 4 \] \[ (x - 3)^2 = x^2 - 6x + 9 \]
Combining these, we have:
\[ (x^2 - 4x + 4) + (x^2 - 6x + 9) = 16 \] \[ 2x^2 - 10x + 13 = 16 \]
Now, let's set it to zero:
\[ 2x^2 - 10x + 13 - 16 = 0 \] \[ 2x^2 - 10x - 3 = 0 \]
Dividing the entire equation by 2 to simplify:
\[ x^2 - 5x - \frac{3}{2} = 0 \]
Next, we can use the quadratic formula to find the values of \(x\):
\[ x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \] Where \(a = 1\), \(b = -5\), and \(c = -\frac{3}{2}\):
\[ x = \frac{5 \pm \sqrt{(-5)^2 - 4(1)(-\frac{3}{2})}}{2(1)} \] \[ x = \frac{5 \pm \sqrt{25 + 6}}{2} \] \[ x = \frac{5 \pm \sqrt{31}}{2} \]
Now, we have two values for \(x\):
- \(x_1 = \frac{5 + \sqrt{31}}{2}\)
- \(x_2 = \frac{5 - \sqrt{31}}{2}\)
Next, we can find the corresponding \(y\)-values using \(y = x\):
- \(y_1 = x_1 = \frac{5 + \sqrt{31}}{2}\)
- \(y_2 = x_2 = \frac{5 - \sqrt{31}}{2}\)
Therefore, the points of intersection are:
- \(\left(\frac{5 + \sqrt{31}}{2}, \frac{5 + \sqrt{31}}{2}\right)\)
- \(\left(\frac{5 - \sqrt{31}}{2}, \frac{5 - \sqrt{31}}{2}\right)\)
These are the intersection points of the given circle and the line.
