Problem

Consider the cubic curve y=x3−3x2+2y = x^3 - 3x^2 + 2. (a) Determine all point(s) on the curve where the tangent has slope 33. (b) For each point obtained in part (a), write the corresponding equation of the tangent. (c) State, with reason, whether the tangent at each of these points is increasing or decreasing as xx increases through the point.
