ANSWER

The points are:

(32,-85)

and

( \frac{500}{27} , \frac{577}{9} )

EXPLANATION

The given parametric equation that defines the curve is:

x = 4 {t}^{3}

y = 3 + 40t - 2 {t}^{2}

We differentiate to get,

\frac{dx}{dt}  = 12 {t}^{2}

\frac{dy}{dt}  = 40 - 4t

The slope of the tangent is given by;

\frac{dy}{dx}  =  \frac{ \frac{dy}{dt} }{ \frac{dx}{dt} }

\frac{dy}{dx} =  \frac{12 {t}^{2} }{40 - 4t}

For the slope to be 1, then we must solve the following equation for t.

\frac{12 {t}^{2} }{40 - 4t}  = 1

12 {t}^{2}  = 40 - 4t

12 {t}^{2}   + 4t - 4 0 = 0

3{t}^{2}   + t - 10 = 0

(t + 2)(3t - 5) = 0

t =  - 2 \: \:  or \:  \: t =  \frac{5}{3}

When t=-2, we put -2 into the expression for x and y to get

x=4(-2)³ and y=3+40(-2)-2(-2)²

This implies that,

x=32, y=-85

Hence one point is (32,-85)

Similarly, when

t =  \frac{5}{3}

x =  \frac{500}{27} ,y =  \frac{577}{9}

Another point is

( \frac{500}{27} , \frac{577}{9} )

Help if your good at maths
tekilochka [14]

Let's make another angle y

Where y= 51° (corresponding angles )

and x+y= 180°. ( linear pair )

x+51°= 180° (y=51°)

x=180°-51°

x= 129°

<u>So the value of x is 129</u>°

Hope you got your answer !
