Given a circle with the equation y^2 + x^2 = 10, with a tangent that intersects at point P, where x=1, find the coordinates for the point at which the tangent meets the x axis (Q).

As the tangent meets the circle at P, when x =1, we can assume that the y value will be the same for this value of x. therefore we substitute x=1 into the equation of the cirlce. Rearranging the equation ...
