At what points will be tangents to the curve `y=2x^3-15 x^2+36 x-21` be parallel to x-axis? Also, find the equations of the tangents to the curve at these points.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Slope of x - axis is 0
`Let (x_{1}, y_{1})` be the required point.
`y=2 x^{3}-15 x^{2}+36 x-21`
Since `(x_{1}, y_{1})` lies on the curve . Therefore
`y_{1}=2 x_{1}{ }^{3}-15 x_{1}^{2}+36 x_{1}-21 ldots text { (1) }`
