OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

interesting problem ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't understand what it means by "tangent to the y-axis".

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

|dw:1339040021946:dw| let's say it looks something like that

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

tangent to y-axis means that a point of the circle touches the y-axis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o.O

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

you get it right? i just drew the circle...it's just a rough sketch

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh yes... I am so tired sorry... I get it... but where does that mean my points are?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

|dw:1339040143489:dw| center is at (3,6) got that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

|dw:1339040188539:dw| those are the corresponding points to the axes
