Angle between Tangents at (2,0) and (3,0) of the Curve y=x^2-5x+6
Let's first find the equation of the curve:
Equation of the Curve
The given curve is:
$$
y=x^2-5x+6
$$
To find the slope of the tangent at any point on the curve, we need to differentiate the equation of the curve with respect to x:
$$
\frac{dy}{dx} = 2x-5
$$
Slope of Tangent at (2,0)
At point (2,0), the slope of the tangent is:
$$
\frac{dy}{dx}\bigg|_{(2,0)} = 2(2)-5 = -1
$$
Slope of Tangent at (3,0)
At point (3,0), the slope of the tangent is:
$$
\frac{dy}{dx}\bigg|_{(3,0)} = 2(3)-5 = 1
$$
Angle between the Tangents
The angle between two lines with slopes m1 and m2 is given by:
$$
\theta = \tan^{-1}(\frac{m2-m1}{1+m1m2})
$$
Using this formula, we can find the angle between the tangents at (2,0) and (3,0):
$$
\theta = \tan^{-1}(\frac{1-(-1)}{1+(-1)(1)}) = \tan^{-1}(1) = \frac{\pi}{4} \approx 45^{\circ}
$$
Conclusion
Therefore, the angle between the tangents at (2,0) and (3,0) of the curve y=x^2-5x+6 is approximately 45 degrees.
