View full question & answer→$y = mx$ does not intersect the circle $(x + 10)^2 + (y + 10)^2 = 180$
Now, $(x + 10)^2+ (mx + 10)^2 = 180$
$x^2 +100 + 20x + m^2x^2 + 100 + 20mx = 180$
$x^2 + m^2x^2 + 20mx + 20x + 20 = 0$
$x^2 (1 + m^2) + 20x (m + 1) + 20 = 0$
Since $y = mx$ does not intersect so
$b^2 - 4ac < 0$
$[20(m + 1)^2 ] -4(1 + m^2)(20)< 0$
$400 (m + 1)^2 - 80 (1 + m^2) < 0$
$5m^2 + 5 + 10m - 1 - m^2 < 0$
$4m^2 + 10m + 4 < 0$
$4m^2 + 8m + 2m + 4 < 0$
$4m(m + 2) + 2 (m + 2) < 0$
$(m + 2)(4m + 2) < 0$
$\Rightarrow m + 2 < 0$ and $4m + 2 > 0$
$\Rightarrow m < -2$ and $m > -2$
Its not possible
$\Rightarrow\text{m}+2>0$ and $4\text{m}+2<0$
$\Rightarrow\text{m}>-2$ and $\text{m}<-\frac{1}{2}$
$\Rightarrow-2<\text{m}<-\frac{1}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\text{m}\in\Big(-2,\ \frac{1}{2}\Big)$
Now, $(x + 10)^2+ (mx + 10)^2 = 180$
$x^2 +100 + 20x + m^2x^2 + 100 + 20mx = 180$
$x^2 + m^2x^2 + 20mx + 20x + 20 = 0$
$x^2 (1 + m^2) + 20x (m + 1) + 20 = 0$
Since $y = mx$ does not intersect so
$b^2 - 4ac < 0$
$[20(m + 1)^2 ] -4(1 + m^2)(20)< 0$
$400 (m + 1)^2 - 80 (1 + m^2) < 0$
$5m^2 + 5 + 10m - 1 - m^2 < 0$
$4m^2 + 10m + 4 < 0$
$4m^2 + 8m + 2m + 4 < 0$
$4m(m + 2) + 2 (m + 2) < 0$
$(m + 2)(4m + 2) < 0$
$\Rightarrow m + 2 < 0$ and $4m + 2 > 0$
$\Rightarrow m < -2$ and $m > -2$
Its not possible
$\Rightarrow\text{m}+2>0$ and $4\text{m}+2<0$
$\Rightarrow\text{m}>-2$ and $\text{m}<-\frac{1}{2}$
$\Rightarrow-2<\text{m}<-\frac{1}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\text{m}\in\Big(-2,\ \frac{1}{2}\Big)$
