P is a point on a circle with the equation x^2 + y^2 = 45. P has x-coordinate 3 and is above the x axis. Work out the equation of the tangent to the circle at point P.

First insert x = 3 into the equation of the circle3^2 + y^2 = 459 + y^2 = 45 take 9 away from both sidesy^2 = 36 take the square root of both sidesy = 6 (not -6 as P is above the x-axis)Next find the grad...
