Question 3.24) A) Consider the function f(x)=√x. Find an equation for the line / which is tangent to the graph of y = f(x) and which is also perpendicular to the line k: 3x-y-10. B) Find an equation for the line which is tangent to the graph of y= g(x)=√x and which has y-intercept %. Hints: 1) The requested line will intersect y=g(x) at a certain point Q. Denote the x-coordinate of Q by a. 2) Find a > 0 ensuring that the slope of the straight line is the same as the derivative of y=g(x) at a.
