chords he made parallel to the diameter^the other icill he parallel to the tangent, 1. Since the co-ordinates of the points P and P, are the same with contrary signs (Art. 8), the value of «, in Equa-tion (1), will be the same, whether we consider the tangentat P or P; hence. The tangents drawn… … First Method. Let P be the given point.On the transverse axis ^1j5,describe a semi-circumfer-ence, and through P, drawPjR perpendicular to AB^and produce it till it meetsthe circumference at P.Through P, draw a tan-gent line to the circumference of the circle, and from 7Jwhere it meets AJB…
