The equation \(x^2+kx=5x+3\) must have only one solution for the line \(y\) to be a tangent line to the quadratic function \(f(x)\).

\(x^2+kx=5x+3\\ x^2+kx-5x-3=0\\ x^2+(k-5)x-3=0\\ \Delta=(k-5)^2-4\cdot1\cdot(-3)=(k-5)^2+12\\\\ (k-5)^2+12=0\\ (k-5)^2=-12\\ k\in \emptyset\)

So there isn't such value of k.
