To solve the problem, we need to find the values of \( a \) and \( b \) for the curve given by the equation \( y^2 = ax^3 + b \), knowing that the tangent at the point \( (2, 3) \) is given by the equation \( y = 4x - 5 \). ### Step 1: Identify the slope of the tangent The slope of the tangent line \( y = 4x - 5 \) is the coefficient of \( x \), which is \( 4 \). ### Step 2: Differentiate the curve equation To find the slope of the tangent to the curve \( y^2 = ax^3 + b \), we differentiate both sides with respect to \( x \): \[ ...
