45. Find a point on the curve y = (x – 2)2 at which the tangent is parallel to the chord joining the points (2, 0) and (4, 4)
Let the point joining the chord be
Then slope of the chord
= 2
The given eqn of the curve
slope of the tangent to the curve
Given that, the tangent is parallel to the chord PQ.
slope of tangent = slope of PQ.
and
The required point on curve is

y (x) = ∫? (2t² - 15t + 10)dt
dy/dx = 2x² - 15x + 10.
For tangent at (a, b), slope is m = dx/dy = 1 / (dy/dx) = 1 / (2a² - 15a + 10).
Given slope is -1/3.
2a² - 15a + 10 = -3
2a² - 15a + 13 = 0 (The provided solution has 2a²-15a+7=0, suggesting a different problem or a typo)
Following the image: 2a² - 15a
f' (c) = 1 + lnc = e/ (e-1)
lnc = e/ (e-1) - 1 = (e - (e-1)/ (e-1) = 1/ (e-1)
c = e^ (1/ (e-1)
