Question

Find an equation for the tangent line to $y = f(x)$ at the specified point. $f(x) = x - 5\ln x$; where $x = e$ $y = x + \frac{5}{e}$ $y = (1 - \frac{5}{e})x$ $y = \frac{5}{e}x + 1$ $y = (1 - \frac{5}{e})x + e - 5$

          Find an equation for the tangent line to $y = f(x)$ at the specified point.
$f(x) = x - 5\ln x$; where $x = e$
$y = x + \frac{5}{e}$
$y = (1 - \frac{5}{e})x$
$y = \frac{5}{e}x + 1$
$y = (1 - \frac{5}{e})x + e - 5$

Find an equation for the tangent line to y = f(x) at the specified point.
f(x) = x - 5ln x; where x = e
y = x + (5)/(e)
y = (1 - (5)/(e))x
y = (5)/(e)x + 1
y = (1 - (5)/(e))x + e - 5
