Answer: \text { The required point is }(2,4)

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 curve } y^{2}=2 x^{3} \text { and the slope of tangent is } 3

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

\begin{aligned} &\text { Differentiating the above with respect to } x\\ &\therefore \frac{d}{d x}\left(x^{n}\right)=n x^{n-1}\\ &2 y^{2-1} \frac{d y}{d x}=2 \times(3 x)^{3-1} \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} &2 y \frac{d y}{d x}=2 \times 3 x^{2} \\ &y \frac{d y}{d x}=3 x^{2} \\ &\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{3 x^{2}}{y} \end{aligned}

Since the slope of tangent is 3

\begin{aligned} &\frac{3 x^{2}}{y}=3 \\ &\frac{x^{2}}{y}=1 \\ &x^{2}=y \end{aligned}

\text { Substituting } x^{2}=y \text { in } y^{2}=2 x^{3}

\left(x^{2}\right)^{2}=2 x^{3}

x^{4}-2 x^{3}=0

x^{3}(x-2)=0

x^{3}=0 \quad \text { or } \quad x-2=0

x=0 \quad \text { or } \quad x=2

\text { If } x=0

\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{3(0)^{2}}{y}

\frac{d y}{d x}=0 \text { which is not possible }

\text { So we take } x=2 \text { and substitute it in } y^{2}=2 x^{3}

\begin{aligned} &y^{2}=2(2)^{3} \\ &y^{2}=2 \times 8 \\ &y^{2}=16 \end{aligned}

y=4 \ldots . .\left\{\text { As } y=x^{2},-4 \text { as been discarded }\right\}

\text { So,the required point is }(2,4)
