consider the curve described by the equation:
4x2 - 3xy + y2 = 14
at any given point on this curve, we have
dy/dx = -8x + 3y / -3x + 2y
your task is to find the points on the curve where the tangent line is parallel to the line y = x
What is the x-coordinae of the leftmost point on the curve where the tangent line is parallel to the line y= x
We have to equate the slopes of the tangent line and the line y=x to find out the points on the curve where these lines are parallel. For the second part, we will use the curve y=5x which we get from the first part in the given equation 4x2-3xy+y2 =0.
