For any point outside of a circle, is there ever only one tangent to the circle that passes through the point?

Question

For any point outside of a circle, is there ever only one tangent to the circle that passes through the point? Are there ever more than two such tangents? (I cannot find the exact answer i need. My question does not involve any actual numbers and equations. I just need a direct answer if there is only one tangent to the circle that passes through the point and why/how...) Thank you!

Answer 1

There are exactly two tangents.
