show y=3x-5 is tangent to x^2 + y^2 +2x -4y - 5 = 0 and the point where they touch

y=3x-5x^2 + (3x-5)^2 + 2x - 4(3x-5) - 5 = 0x^2 + 9x^2 -30x +25 + 2x -12x + 20 - 5 = 010x^2 -40x + 40 = 010 (x^2 - 4x +4) = 010(x - 2)^2 = 0x=2implies one point of contact, therefore tangenty = 3x - 5y = 6 -5 = 1

Given f(x) = (x^(2)+(3x)+1)/(x^(2)+(5x)+8), find f'(x) and simplify your answer.

y=x^3-3x^2+2x+5 a)Write down the coordinates of P the point where the curve crosses the x-axis. b)Determine the equation of the tangent to the curve at P. c)Find the coordinates of Q, the point where this tangent meets the curve again.

Solve algebraically the following system of equations: 4x + 5y = -3; 6x - 2y = 5
