find the points on the curve y=x3-7x+3 at which the equation of the tangent is y=x-11.

Dear Student,
Given,y=x3-7x+3Tangent at the point (x,y)dydx=3x2-7Given, the equation of the tangent is y=x-11Slope of the tangent = 1So, 3x2-7=13x2=8x=±83=±263For, x=263=1.63, y=x-11y=263-11=26-333=4.9-333=-28.13=-9.37For, x=-263, y=x-11y=-263-11=-4.9-333=-37.93=-12.6So, the points may be(1.63, -9.37) or (-1.63, -12.6) 

Regards
