The diagram shows a circle with centre $$\(A\)$$ passing through the point $$\(B\)$$. A second circle has centre $$\(B\)$$ and passes through $$\(A\)$$. The tangent at $$\(B\)$$ to the first circle intersects the second circle at $$\(C\)$$ and $$\(D\)$$. The coordinates of $$\(A\)$$ are $$\((-1,4)\)$$ and the coordinates of $$\(B\)$$ are $$\((3,2)\)$$. Find, by calculation, the $$\(x\)$$-coordinates of $$\(C\)$$ and $$\(D\)$$. .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... ....................................................................................................................................................
