The image of the problem is attached (2.33). Just a note: this isn't the exact problem I have been assigned - it uses different numbers. I only need help with parts (b) and (c), the limit part I can do.

As you can see there are two equations to solve for:
the parametric equation: using the (x-h)2 + (y-k)2 = r2 --> (x)2 - (y-r)2 = r2
the linear equation: I already solved for it --> (-2/2r)x + 2r

Since this is the practice version of the actual homework problem, I can check my work as I go. I have a limited amount of tries on the actual hw problem.

I'm guessing that to find the coordinates for B, I have to find where the parametric equation and the linear equation intersect, but so far my calculations have been incorrect! Id really appreciate some guidance on what to do!

Thanks!
