Write the equation for the line tangent to the circle x2 + y2 = 29 at the point (2, 5).
1 answer:
X2 + y2 = 29
Center of the circle
x=0 and y=0
Therefore the slope of the line perpendicular to the tangent line
(y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
(5-0) / (2-0)
5/2
so the slope of the tangent
-2/5
General equation for the line
y = mx + c
if the line satisfies with the point (2,5)
5 = 2m + c
m = -2/5
5 = 2 * (-2/5) + c
c = 5 + (4/5)
c = 29/5
Therefore the equation of the line
y = mx + c
y = (-2/5) m + 29/5

Answer:
2x -8
Step-by-step explanation:
f (x) = 3x - 5
g(x) = x + 3,
(f - g)(x) = 3x - 5 - ( x+3)
Distribute the minus sign
= 3x-5 -x-3
Combine like terms
= 2x -8

Step-by-step explanation:
9/10 - 5/10
because the denominators are the same you keep it and just subtract the numerators
=4/10
This can be reduced to 2/5
