The easiest way to solve this problem is by using the Pythagorean theorem :D
Pythagorean theorem: [-b +- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)]/2a
5 = a
-1 = b
6 = c
therefore, by plugging these values in!
[-(-1) +- sqrt((-1)^2 - 4(5)(6))]/2(5)
[1 +- sqrt(1 - 120)]/10
Oh so we're using imaginary numbers, so in this case you'll need to know that i = sqrt(-1), so keep this in mind (I can see why this was so difficult)
[1 +- sqrt(119)*i]10
answers:
( 1 + i*sqrt(119) ) / 10
( 1 - i*sqrt(119) ) / 10
There are 2 tangent lines that pass through the point

and

Explanation:
Given:

The point-slope form of the equation of a line tells us that the form of the tangent lines must be:
![[1]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B1%5D)
For the lines to be tangent to the curve, we must substitute the first derivative of the curve for
:



![[2]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B2%5D)
Substitute equation [2] into equation [1]:
![[1.1]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B1.1%5D)
Because the line must touch the curve, we may substitute 

Solve for x:

Answer:
a: x − 2y = −12
Step-by-step explanation:
the standard form of a line is is usually given as Ax + By = C, so just by deduction you can tell that the correct answer is a.
If you want to do the procedure it would be:
y − 3 = 1/2 (x + 6)
y − 3 = 1/2 x + 3
y - 1/2 x = 3 + 3
y - 1/2 x = 6
(y - 1/2 x = 6) * 2 to get rid of the fraction
2y - x = 12 rearrenge the terms
x - 2y = -12
You just times it. (if you have a more question pm me). thank you
