The given eqn of the curve is y=x311x+5

slope of tangent to the curve dydx=3x211

Then eqn of tangent is y=x11 xy11=0 which gives us slope =11=1

So, 3x211=1

3x2=1+11=12

x2=4

x=±2

When x = 2, y=2311(2)+5=822+5=9.

And when x = 2, y=(2)311(2)+5=8+22+5=19.

The point (2,9) when put into y=x11. we get

9=211

9=9 which is true.

and the point (2,19) when put into y=x11 gives,

19=211

19=13 which is not true.

Hence, the required point is (2,9)

From option let it be isosceles where AB = AC then

x = r 2 ( h r ) 2            

r 2 h 2 r 2 + 2 r h

x = 2 h r h 2 . . . . . . . . ( i )

 Now ar ( Δ A B C ) = Δ = 1 2 B C × A L

Δ = 1 2 × 2 2 h r a 2 × h        

then  x = 2 × 3 r 2 × r 9 r 2 4 = 3 2 r f r o m ( i )

B C = 3 r    

So A B = h 2 + x 2 = 9 r 2 4 + 3 r 2 4 = 3 r .

Hence Δ be equilateral having each side of length 3 r .
