Point K(8,-5) lies on the circle x^2 +y^2 - 12x - 6y - 23. find the equation of the tangent at K.

First, find the centre of the circle. Since we know the equation of the circle, we know that the centre (-g,-f) comes from the part of the equation -12x-6y, where -12=2g and -6=2f. Therefore, to get the c...

Evaluate the following : ∫ln(x) dx

Integrate by parts:u = ln(x) u' = 1/x v' = 1 v = xBy parts formula: uv - ∫u'v dx Therefore we have: xln(x) - ∫x1/x dx = xln(x) - ∫1 dx = xln(x) - x (+c)
