Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\left(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{5}{24}\right)\) and \(\left(-1, \frac{-1}{6}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(y=\frac{2}{3} x^3+\frac{1}{2} x^2\) \[ \begin{aligned} \therefore \quad \frac{d y}{d x} & =\frac{2}{3}\left(3 x^2\right)+\frac{1}{2}(2 x) \\ & =2 x^2+x \end{aligned} \] \(\because\) Tangents make equal angles with coordinate axis. Hence, \(\frac{d y}{d x}=1\)…
