To find the angle between the tangents to the curve \( y = x^2 - 5x + 6 \) at the points \( (2, 0) \) and \( (3, 0) \), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Find the Derivative of the Curve:** The given curve is \( y = x^2 - 5x + 6 \). To find the slope of the tangent at any point on the curve, we need to differentiate it with respect to \( x \). \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = 2x - 5 ...
