Question
![**Determine all points \( P \) at which the tangent line to the curve given parametrically by:**
\[ x(t) = t^3 - 6t, \quad y = t^2 \]
**is parallel to the line \((-3t, 2t)\).**
1. \( P = (5, -3), \quad (-4, 3) \)
2. \( P = (5, 3), \quad (-4, -3) \)
3. \( P = (-5, -3), \quad (4, 3) \)
4. \( P = (5, 1), \quad (-4, 4) \)
5. \( P = (-5, 4), \quad (4, 1) \)
6. \( P = (-5, 1), \quad (4, 4) \)
**Explanation:**
This problem involves finding points on a parametric curve where the tangent line is parallel to a given line. The curve is described by \( x(t) = t^3 - 6t \) and \( y = t^2 \). The condition for parallel lines is that their direction vectors are proportional. Here, the direction vector of the given line is \((-3, 2)\). You need to set up and solve equations based on the derivatives \(\frac{dx}{dt}\) and \(\frac{dy}{dt}\) relative to the direction vector.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F9a433dd5-6857-42c0-ae40-09bd40f154d3%2F97dc5d8e-a3e4-4d0c-8b05-6d2bb83a351c%2Fqr2tud_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
