Since the curves are tangent, they have the same slope at that point and the same x and y value at that point.
Set equations equal and set slopes equal and solve
Togetslope, you need to know calculus first derivative
slope of one equation is dy/dx = 8x +k
and the othereqaution slope is dy/dx = 1
so youhave
4x^2 + kx + 1 = x -8
8x + k = 1
4x^2 +kx -x + 9 = 0
8x + k -1 = 0
solve for k
k ==-11 or +13
They are +/- 5*sqrt(2)
k = 0.1
In trig, the secant squared divided by the tangent equals the hypotenuse squared divided by the product of the opposite and adjacent sides of the triangle.Details: secant = hypotenuse/adjacent (H/A) and tangent = opposite/adjacent (A/O);Then secant2/tangent = (H2/A2)/(O/A) = H2/A2 x A/O = H2/AO.
If the line y = 2x+1.25 is a tangent to the curve y^2 = 10x then it works out that when x = 5/8 then y = 5/2
Circle equation: x^2 +y^2 -8x +4y = 30 Tangent line equation: y = x+4 Centre of circle: (4, -2) Slope of radius: -1 Radius equation: y--2 = -1(x-4) => y = -x+2 Note that this proves that tangent of a circle is always at right angles to its radius
They are +/- 5*sqrt(2)

This is not possible, since the point (4,6) lies inside the circle : X2 + Y2 = 16 Tangents to a circle or ellipse never pass through the circle
It is (-0.3, 0.1)
