The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the Circle Equation The given equation of the circle is: \[ x^2 + y^2 - 8x - 18y + 93 = 0 \] We can rewrite this in standard form by completing the square. ### Step 2: Completing the Square 1. For \(x\): \[ x^2 - 8x \rightarrow (x - 4)^2 - 16 \] 2. For \(y\): \[ y^2 - 18y \rightarrow (y - 9)^2 - 81 \] Now substituting back into the equation: \[ (x - 4)^2 - 16 + (y - 9)^2 - 81 + 93 = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ (x - 4)^2 + (y - 9)^2 - 4 = 0 \] Thus, we have: \[ (x - 4)^2 + (y - 9)^2 = 2^2 \] ### Step 3: Identify the Center and Radius From the standard form \((x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2\): - Center \(C\) is \((4, 9)\) - Radius \(r = 2\) ### Step 4: Calculate Distance \(CP\) The point \(P\) is given as \((2, 5)\). We will use the distance formula to find \(CP\): \[ CP = \sqrt{(4 - 2)^2 + (9 - 5)^2} = \sqrt{2^2 + 4^2} = \sqrt{4 + 16} = \sqrt{20} \] ### Step 5: Calculate Distances \(AP\) and \(BP\) Using the property of tangents from an external point: - The distance from point \(P\) to the points of tangency \(Q\) and \(R\) can be found as: \[ AP = CP - r = \sqrt{20} - 2 \] \[ BP = CP + r = \sqrt{20} + 2 \] ### Step 6: Verify the Arithmetic Mean We need to check if: \[ CP = \frac{AP + BP}{2} \] Substituting the values: \[ CP = \sqrt{20} \] \[ AP = \sqrt{20} - 2 \] \[ BP = \sqrt{20} + 2 \] Calculating the average: \[ \frac{AP + BP}{2} = \frac{(\sqrt{20} - 2) + (\sqrt{20} + 2)}{2} = \frac{2\sqrt{20}}{2} = \sqrt{20} \] ### Conclusion Since \(CP = \frac{AP + BP}{2}\), it holds true that \(CP\) is the arithmetic mean of \(AP\) and \(BP\).

To solve the problem step by step, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the Circle Equation The given equation of the circle is: \[ x^2 + y^2 - 8x - 18y + 93 = 0 \] We can rewrite this in standard form by completing the square. ...
