Correct option is D
Given:x=ct3,y=t3cWe are to find the point where the tangent is parallel to the line y=2x−1The slope of the line is: m=2Differentiate x and y with respect to t:dtdx=3ct2,dtdy=−t43cSlope of tangent to the curve:dxdy=dx/dtdy/dt=3ct2−t43c=−t61Set slope equal to that of the line:−t61=2=>t6=−21This equation has no real solution, as t6>0 for all real tTherefore, the tangent is never parallel to the line y=2x−1
Final Answer:
Option D – at no point
