To find the points on the curve \(\frac{x^2}{4} + \frac{y^2}{25} = 1\) where the tangents are parallel to the x-axis and y-axis, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the condition for tangents parallel to the x-axis A tangent is parallel to the x-axis when its slope is 0. Therefore, we need to find the points where \(\frac{dy}{dx} = 0\). ### Step 2: Differentiate the equation of the curve We will differentiate the equation \(\frac{x^2}{4} + \frac{y^2}{25} = 1\) implicitly with respect to \(x\): \[ ...
