Let f(x) = x² and g(x) = x²-6x + 15. There is one line with positive slope that is tangent to both of the parabolas y = f(x) and y = g(x) simultaneously. y=g(x)/ y=f(x)/ Find the equation of the line. Hint: What is the slope of the tangent to f(x) at x = x1 ? What is the slope of the tangent to g(x) at X2? x= y =
