i) You need to know that the equation of a circle with centre (a,b) and radius r is (xa)2+(yb)2=r2(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2.

ii) The y coordinates of the required points are 0. Substitute y=0 in the given equation and solve to find x.

iii) Substitute the given values in the equation and simplify.

Cheers - but how do I find the equations of the tangents?

Find the gradient of the radius from the given point. Remember that the tangent is perpendicular to the radius. Use yy1=m(xx1)y-y_1=m(x-x_1)
