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

If (x) = 3x - 5 and g(x) = x + 3, find (f - g)(x).
Temka [501]

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
