A circle has equation x^2+y^2-8x+10y+41=0. A point on the circle has coordinates (8,-3). Find the equation of the tangent to the circle passing through this point.


Work out the angle between the two tangents of the curve y = sin(x) at y = 0 and y = 1


Show that the two vectors A= 2i+3j-k and B=3i-j+3k are perpendicular


Find the stationery points of x^3 + 3x^2 - 24x + 7 and determine whether the slope is increasing or decreasing at x=3.
