Find the point on the curve y = x² - 2x + 3 at which the tangent is parallel to the x-axis.
Find the point on the curve y = x² - 2x + 3 at which the tangent is parallel to the x-axis.
- A. (2, 3)
- B. (1, 2)
- C. (0, 3)
- D. (-1, 6)
Answer: B) (1, 2)
Explanation: Tangent parallel to x-axis means dy/dx = 0. dy/dx = 2x - 2 = 0 implies x = 1. When x = 1, y = 1 - 2 + 3 = 2. Point is (1, 2).
