The combined equation of the pair of tangents drawn from $P\left(x_1, y_1\right)$ to the circle $S: x^2+y^2=a^2$ is
$
\left(x^2+y^2-a^2\right)\left(x_1^2+y_1^2-a^2\right)=\left(x x_1+y y_1-a^2\right)^2 \quad \text { or } \quad S S_1=T^2
$
Where,
$
\begin{aligned}
& S \equiv x^2+y^2-a^2 \\
& S_1 \equiv x_1^2+y_1^2-a^2 \\
& T \equiv x x_1+y y_1-a^2
\end{aligned}
