1. Find analytically the equation of the line that is tangent to g(x)=sqrt(-x-3 )and parallel to the line y=-1/2x+2. Use the limit definition of the derivative and find the point of tangency by hand, showing all work. Verify your results by sketching the tangent line

2.if lim x→5 f (x) = 3 and lim x→5 (f(x)-f(5)) /(x -5) = 4 then f (5)
a.equals 3
b.equals 4
c. cannot be determined

3.12.Determine analytically, showing all work, all values of x (if any) at which the the
func
on f(x) = 4√x − x has:
a. A horizontal tangent line. b. A tangent line slope of -1⁄2.

The best way to evaluate a limit is by substituting the limit into the function itself. We're told that the limit as x approach 5 is 3, hence the answer is 3.
