Define x as a symbolic variable and create the two symbolic expressions S1= x2(x- 6) + 4(3x- 2) and S2= (x + 2)2- 8x Use symbolic operations to determine the simplest form of each of following expressions: (a) s, S2 (b) s, (c) s s2 , + S2 (d) Use the subs command to evaluate the numerical value of the result from part (c) for x = 5.

Question
The equation of a circle is xz + yz = Rz,where R is the radius of the circle. Write aprogram in a script file that ftrst derives theequation (symbolically) of the tangent line tothe circle at the point (x0, y0) on the upperpart of the circle (i.e., for -R < x0 < R and0 < y0 ). Then for specific values of R, x0, andy0 the program makes a plot, like the oneshown on the right, of the circle and the tangentline. Execute the program with R = 10and x0 = 7.

The first step in solving 11 problem number 14 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The equation of a circle is xz + yz = Rz,where R is the radius of the circle. Write aprogram in a script file that ftrst derives theequation (symbolically) of the tangent line tothe circle at the point (x0, y0) on the upperpart of the circle (i.e., for -R < x0 < R and0 < y0 ). Then for specific values of R, x0, andy0 the program makes a plot, like the oneshown on the right, of the circle and the tangentline. Execute the program with R = 10and x0 = 7.
