To find the area of the triangle formed by the tangent and normal lines at the point \((\sqrt{3}, 1)\) to the circle \(x^2 + y^2 = 4\) and the X-axis, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Circle and Point The equation of the circle is \(x^2 + y^2 = 4\), which has a center at \((0, 0)\) and a radius of \(2\). The point given is \((\sqrt{3}, 1)\). ### Step 2: Find the Slope of the Tangent Line To find the slope of the tangent line at the point \((\sqrt{3}, 1)\), we first differentiate the circle's equation implicitly: \[ ...
