Here is the solution for this specific problem:

<span>Based from the graph, the curve will intersect itself at the y-axis, i.e. x = 0. </span><span>

</span><span>t^3 - 6t = 0 </span><span>
<span>t(t^2 - 6) = 0 </span>
<span>t = 0 or t = ± √6 </span>

<span>dx/dt = 3t^2 - 6 </span>
<span>dy/dt = 2t </span>

<span>dy/dx = 2t/(3t^2 - 6) </span>

<span>@ t = 0, dy/dx = 0. </span>
<span>x = 0, y = 0 </span>

<span>y = 0 </span>

<span>@ t = √6, dy/dx = 2√6/12 = √6/6 </span>
<span>x = 0, y = 6 </span>

<span>y - 6 = (√6/6) x </span>
<span>y = (√6/6)x + 6 </span>

<span>@ t = -√6, dy/dx = -2√6/12 = -√6/6 </span>
<span>x = 0, y = 6 </span>

<span>y - 6 = (-√6/6) x </span>
y = (-√6/6)x + 6</span>

So the equations of the tangent line at the point where the curve crosses itself are: <span>y = (√6/6)x + 6 and </span>y = (-√6/6)x + 6. I am hoping that these answers have satisfied your queries and it will be able to help you in your endeavors, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.

Leokris [45]

Answer:

C - Rhombus

Step-by-step explanation:

A rhombus ALWAYS has perpendicular diagonals. A rhombus is just a parallelogram with four equal sides, so two of them have to be parallel, at least.
