Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\operatorname{Tan}^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{121}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(3x^2 - 2x - 1 = x^3 - 1\) \(x^3 - 3x^2 + 2x = 0 \Rightarrow x(x-1)(x-2) = 0\) Point of intersection in first quadrant: \((2, 7)\) \(m_1 = \frac{d}{dx}(3x^2 - 2x - 1) = 6x - 2\) \(m_1 = 6(2) - 2 = 10\) \(m_2 = \frac{d}{dx}(x^3 - 1) = 3x^2\) \(m_2 = 3(2)^2 = 12\)…
