Answer: The requried point are (0,0) \&(2 a,-2 a)

Hint:\text { The slope of the tangent is the limit of } \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \text { as } \Delta x \text { approaches zero. }

Given:The Curve is 2 a^{2} y=x^{3}-3 a x^{2} \rightarrow(1)

Solution:2 a^{2} y=x^{3}-3 a x^{2}

\text { Differentiating the above with respect to } x

\therefore \frac{d}{d x}\left(\mathrm{x}^{n}\right)=n x^{n-1}, \frac{d}{d x}(\text { constant })=0

2 a^{2} \frac{d y}{d x}=3 x^{3-1}-3 a(2)(x)^{2-1}

2 a^{2} \frac{d y}{d x}=3 x^{2}-6 a x

\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{1}{2 a^{2}}\left[3 x^{2}-6 a x\right]

\text { Slope } \mathrm{m}_{1}=\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{1}{2 a^{2}}\left[3 x^{2}-6 a x\right] \rightarrow(2)

Also

\text { Slope } \mathrm{m}_{2}=\frac{d y}{d x}=\tan \theta

\tan 0^{\circ}=0

\text { [slope is parallel to } x \text { -axis] }

m_{1}=m_{2}

\frac{1}{2 a^{2}}\left[3 x^{2}-6 a x\right]=0

3 x^{2}-6 a x=0

\begin{aligned} &3 x(x-2 a)=0 \\ &3 x=0 \text { or } x-2 a=0 \\ &x=0 \text { or } x=2 a \end{aligned}

\text { When put } x=0 \text { in eqn(1) } 2 a^{2} y=x^{3}-3 a x^{2}

\begin{aligned} &2 a^{2} y=(0)^{3}-3 a(0)^{2} \\ &2 a^{2} y=0 \\ &y=0 \end{aligned}

\text { When put } x=2 a \text { in eqn (1) } 2 a^{2} y=x^{3}-3 a x^{2}

\begin{aligned} &2 a^{2} y=(2 a)^{3}-3 a(2 a)^{2} \\ &2 a^{2} y=8 a^{3}-3 a\left(4 a^{2}\right) \\ &2 a^{2} y=8 a^{3}-12 a^{3} \\ &2 a^{2} y=-4 a^{3} \\ &y=-2 a \end{aligned}

Thus the requried points are (0,0) \&(2 a,-2 a)
