The radius of the black circle is 1/4 of the radius of the orange circle, so the black circle has a diameter which passes through the tangent point, the center and the horizontal tangent and the diameter is 1/2 the 7/2 radius. It explains why the numbers are relatively simple, once you have X.

Here there are blue and green incircles of radii 3 and 4 with centers at 9 1/4 and 16 1/4 and a common horizontal tangent at 12 1/4. The third (black) circle has a tangent point at 12 (previous relationship) so it generates an incircle with centre at 12 1/2 and radius 3 1/2, an "average". ....

and = 0 at X=n which isnt a valid. So the "interesting" thing about this solution is that with a fair bit of work it comes out as a quadratic (in y), and the single solution corresponds to the y^2 coefficient being zero which is reasonably efficient, rather than arguing about the discriminant.

essentially gives (Dy)^2 sin^2 = r^2 which is just simple trig at the tangent point on parabola. Its a quadratic in y so looking at the y^2 coeff, its zero when 4X^2 - 4n^2 + 1 = 0 so a single solution/tangent point at X = sqrt(n^2-1/4) The discriminant of the quadratic (function of x) is >= 0 ..

With a bit of scribbing for a gentler way, expressing the green circle centre/radius locus in terms of y (other post) and then finding the distance from the parabola (X,X^2-1) and equating distance and derivative gives the result but computation heavy. Subbing the derivative into the distance. ...

Getting the locus of green centre/radius between the two circles x^2 - 3y^2 + 3y = 0 with radius r=-2y. So put everything in terms of y, then the green circle must touch the parabola (circle and gradient) which gave an ugly quadratic in y (& X) and to get a single soln y^2 coeff = 0. A grind.

As usual there are a few ways to go, but treating the x-axis intersection point as the variable, X, the two tangent gradients / x values of the tangent points are X +/- sqrt(2y(X)) which is a nice simple relationship and you can obv get the value which gives a pi/3 angle.

For some "extension" stuff (those who like their greeks), you could look at the focus/directrix and pretty much note that the x-axis must be the directrix and the upper blue line the focal chord (passing through the focus), which pretty much gives a directly and also all the angles/grads etc.

Tough choice - wars to cancel election or nobel peace prize. He must lie awake at night wondering how to justify things by blaming biden.

Came back to it this morning and differentiating the quartic in x & r gives an expression for r(x) which generates a double root and subbing that back in and then solving for x and then r^2 is doable.

Last term trump was impeached for witholding ukrainian martial ukraine and linking it to zelensky being the fall guy for rus election interference. Maybe he doesnt fully trust trump?

First one is unlikely as trump is parroting putin, so trump will probably throw some form of hissy fit/use it as an excuse to withdraw from even the semblance of trying to aid ukraine.

As the socials were known about before he was elected/appointed deputy leader, farage's vetting process proves to be smoke and mirrors (again). www.leicester.news/reforms-depu...

Bit of a grind for me. The least difficult (in hindsight) was subbing to form a 4/6th order and equating roots for a double root (getting rid of the trivial double first). Polar gave a relatively simple trig expression for r^2, but minimising wasnt pretty.

Similarly believing stuff that trump claims is just absurd.
