Find the coordinates of the point in the curve y = 3x\(^2\) - 2x - 5 where the tangent is parallel to the line y = - 5 = 8x
-
A.
\(\begin{pmatrix} - \frac{5}{3} &, 0 \end {pmatrix}\)
-
B.
\(\begin{pmatrix} 0, & - \frac{5}{3} \end {pmatrix}\)
-
C.
\(\begin{pmatrix} 0, & \frac{5}{3} \end {pmatrix}\)
-
D.
\(\begin{pmatrix} \frac{5}{3} &, 0 \end {pmatrix}\)
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation
y = 8x + 5
m = 8
y = 3x\(^2\) - 2x - 5
\(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = 6x - 2x - 5
\(\frac{6x}{6} = \frac{10}{6}\)
x = \(\frac{5}{3}\)
y = 0
