Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation of the ellipse is x^2
+ y^2 = 2 x + 2 y
At tangent line, the point is horizontal with the x-axis
therefore slope = dy / dx = 0
<span>So we have to take the 1st derivative of the equation
then equate dy / dx to zero.</span>
x^2 + y^2 = 2 x + 2 y
x^2 – 2 x = 2 y – y^2
(2x – 2) dx = (2 – 2y) dy
(2x – 2) / (2 – 2y) = 0
2x – 2 = 0
x = 1
To find for y, we go back to the original equation then substitute
the value of x.
x^2 + y^2 = 2 x + 2 y
1^2 + y^2 = 2 * 1 + 2 y
y^2 – 2y + 1 – 2 = 0
y^2 – 2y – 1 = 0
Finding the roots using the quadratic formula:
y = [-(- 2) ± sqrt ( (-2)^2 – 4*1*-1)] / 2*1
y = 1 ± 2.828
y = -1.828 , 3.828
<span>Therefore the tangents are parallel to the x-axis at points (1, -1.828)
and (1, 3.828).</span>
Part 1
<h3>Answer: 13</h3>
---------------------
Explanation:
We'll replace every copy of x with -3. Then use PEMDAS to simplify.
f(x) = -2x+7
f(-3) = -2(-3)+7
f(-3) = 6+7
f(-3) = 13
===========================================================
Part 2
<h3>Answer: -11</h3>
---------------------
Explanation:
We work backwards in a sense compared to what part 1 did. Instead of finding f(x) based on x, we determine what x must be for a given f(x).
We'll replace f(x) with 29 and solve for x like so
f(x) = -2x+7
29 = -2x+7
-2x+7 = 29
-2x = 29-7
-2x = 22
x = 22/(-2)
x = -11
Note how if you replaced x with -11, we'd get,
f(x) = -2x+7
f(-11) = -2(-11)+7
f(-11) = 22+7
f(-11) = 29
which helps confirm we have the correct answer.
