Answer:

Hence Proved that the tangents to the curve y=7 x^{3}+11 \text { at the points } x=2 \text { and } x=-2 \text { are parallel }

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

Given: \text { The equation of the curve is } y=7 x^{3}+11 \rightarrow(1)

Solution: \text { Differentiating eqn(1) with respect to } x

\begin{aligned} &\frac{d}{d x}\left(x^{n}\right)=n x^{n-1}, \frac{d}{d x}(\text { constant })=0 \\ &\frac{d y}{d x}=7(3) x^{3-1}+0 \\ &\frac{d y}{d x}=21 x^{2} \end{aligned}

\text { The slope of the tangent to a curve at }\left(x_{0}, y_{0}\right) \text { is } \frac{d y}{d x\left(x_{0}, y_{0}\right)}

\text { Therefore the slope of the tangent at the point where } x=2 \text { is given by }

\frac{d y}{d x_{x=2}}=21(2)^{2}

\begin{aligned} &=21 \times 4 \\ &=84 \end{aligned}

\text { and the slope of the tangent at the point where } x=-2 \text { is given by }

\frac{d y}{d x_{x}=-2}=21(-2)^{2}

\begin{aligned} &=21 \times 4 \\ &=84 \end{aligned}

It is observed that the slopes of the tangent at the points where x=2 and x=-2 are equal.
Hence, the two tangents are parallel
