To find the slope of the tangent line to the curve at the point (2,5), we need to find the derivative of the curve at that point. The derivative of the curve y=x^2+3x-5 is given by the equation dy/dx = 2x + 3. Evaluating this derivative at x=2, we get dy/dx = 2(2) + 3 = 7. Therefore, the slope of the tangent line to the curve at the point (2,5) is 7.

To find the slope of the tangent line to the curve (y = x^2 + 3x - 5) at the point ((2, 5)), you need to find the derivative of the function with respect to (x), and then evaluate it at the given point.
First, find the derivative of the function: [y' = \frac{d}{dx}(x^2 + 3x - 5)] [y' = 2x + 3]
Then, evaluate the derivative at (x = 2): [y' = 2(2) + 3] [y' = 4 + 3] [y' = 7]
So, the slope of the tangent line to the curve at the point ((2, 5)) is (7).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
