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.

Suppose there are 10 identical items. 10 items are selected one by one with replacement. What is the probability that a particul
Sophie [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets look at the first pick. There are 9 items that can be choosen, one that cannot. So the chance to not pick the one is 9/10.

All the other attempts are the same and have 9/10 chance. (as replacement happens)

Now these events are independent of eachother so the combined chance is

(9/10)^10

For the formula:

Number of items: n

One pick is: (n-1)/n

N pick together is [(n-1)/n]^n
