Find the points on the curve y=3x^2-9...

Find the points on the curve `y=3x^2-9x+8` at which the tangents are equally inclined with the axes.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
Point is `(frac{5}{3}, frac{4}{3})`

Given the curve is `y=3 x^{2}-9 x+8`.

Now, `\frac{d y}{d x}=6 x-9 \ldots .(1)`

Slope of the tangent at `(x, y)` is `\frac{d y}{d x}`.

If the tangent at `(x, y)` is equally inclined to the axis then the slope of the tangent is `1`
Then from eq (1);
$$ 6 x-9=1 $$ ...
