How to optimize the two tangents of a circle by passing through a point outside the circle and calculate the sine value of the angle between the two tangents?
The equation for a circle is: x ^ 2+y ^ 2-4 x -1==0
The point outside the circle is: {0, -2}
Draw two tangents of circle x ^ 2+y ^ 2-4 x -1==0 through {0, -2}
The angle between two tangent lines is a, find Sin [a]
My attempt is as follows:
Clear["Global`*"]
eqn = x^2 + y^2 - 4 x - 1 == 0;
rule = SolveAlways[{Apply[Subtract]@eqn ==
dd ((x - aa)^2 + (y - bb)^2 - cc)}, {x, y}][[1]]
(x - aa)^2 + (y - bb)^2 == cc /. rule
{{aa, bb}, Sqrt[cc]} /. rule
eqs = {{0, -2}, x^2 + y^2 - 4 x - 1 == 0};
reg = ImplicitRegion[y + 2 == k x, {x, y}];
pt = {2, 0};
RegionDistance[reg, pt];
Reduce[RegionDistance[reg, pt] == Sqrt[5], k]
eqs2 = {y + 2 == (-4 - Sqrt[15]) x, y + 2 == (-4 + Sqrt[15]) x}
tan\[Alpha] = (-4 - Sqrt[15] - (-4 + Sqrt[15]))/(
1 + (-4 - Sqrt[15]) (-4 + Sqrt[15])) // FullSimplify
Reduce[{Sin[\[Alpha]] == -Sqrt[15] Cos[\[Alpha]],
Sin[\[Alpha]]^2 + Cos[\[Alpha]]^2 == 1, t == Sin[\[Alpha]]}, t]
ContourPlot[Evaluate@{eqs, eqs2}, {x, -1, 5}, {y, -3, 3},
Epilog -> {Red, PointSize[0.01], Point[{0, -2}]},
PlotLegends -> Placed[eqs, {0.8, 0.15}], AspectRatio -> Automatic,
Frame -> False, Axes -> True, AxesStyle -> Arrowheads[{0.0, 0.04}],
AxesLabel -> {x, y}, ImageSize -> Full]
Are there any other good methods or ways to optimize the code? The best code is universal, capable of inputting equations for any circle and a point outside any circle, automatically generating tangent equations, drawing images, and calculating corresponding values.
