Question Number 39582 by Raj Singh last updated on 08/Jul/18

Answered by MrW3 last updated on 08/Jul/18

I think you mean tangents of the curve  at positions where the curve cuts the  x−axis.  yx^2 +x^2 −5x+6=0  yx^2 +(x−2)(x−3)=0  with y=0:  ⇒x=2 and 3  i.e. the curve cuts the x−axis at  (2,0) and (3,0).    yx^2 +x^2 −5x+6=0  y′x^2 +2xy+2x−5=0  ⇒y′=((5−2x(1+y))/x^2 )  at (2,0):  m=y′=((5−2×2(1+0))/2^2 )=(1/4)  eq. of tangent:  y−0=(1/4)(x−2)  ⇒x−4y=2    at (3,0):  m=y′=((5−2×3(1+0))/3^2 )=−(1/9)  y−0=−(1/9)(x−3)  ⇒x+9x=3
