Answer
The equation of the smaller circle can be derived based on its center and radius. Since the center of the smaller circle is at O(0; 0) and it touches the larger circle, we can set the equation as:
x2+y2=r2
where r is the radius determined from the distance based on the provided points. Given the distance specification, we find:
x2+y2=25

Answer
To find the equation of the circle centered at M(-3; 4), we identify that the radius must be the distance from M to T. Since the distance TM is 8:
Let the radius r=8. The equation thus is:
(x+3)2+(y−4)2=64

Answer
To find the slope (m) of line NM connecting points N(-11; p) and M(-3; 4), use the gradient formula:
m=x2−x1y2−y1=−3−(−11)4−p=84−p.
The equation of line NM can be expressed as:
y−4=m(x+3),
in slope-intercept form as:
y=mx+825−4p

Answer
To find the length of SN, apply the distance formula:
SN=(−11−(−3))2+(p−4)2
This yields:
SN=(−8)2+(p−4)2
Evaluating SN, we substitute the calculated value for p.

Answer
The relationship of tangency indicates that the distance from B(2; 5) to M(-3; 4) aligns with the combined radii:
Using distance formula:
BM=(2−(−3))2+(5−4)2=52+12=26
Setting up the equation for k based on tangency, leads to resolving k = 6.6 and k = 9.4 units.
