Question
Angle between the tangents to the curve $y=x^{2}-5 x+6$ at the points $(2,0)$ and $(3,0)$ is(a) $\frac{\pi}{2}$(b) $\frac{\pi}{6}$(c) $\frac{\pi}{4}$(d) $\frac{\pi}{3}$
Step 1
The derivative of a function gives us the slope of the tangent line to the curve at any point. The derivative of the function $y=x^{2}-5x+6$ is given by: \[y' = \frac{dy}{dx} = 2x - 5\] Show more…
