Explanation:
f'(x) =
The given function represents a circle of radius 3, centered at (0,4). This can be easily put into standard form as follows:
This equation represents a circle centered at (0,4) with radius 3.
In case of a circle, the radius joining the point of contact of any tangent is always perpendicular to the tangent,
