Question
Fanciful shapes can be created by using the implicit plotting
capabilities of computer algebra systems.
(a) Graph the curve with equation
y(y2 - 1)(y -2) = x(x - 1) (x - 2)
At how many points does this curve have horizontal
tangents? Estimate the -coordinates of these points.
(b) Find equations of the tangent lines at the points (0, 1)
and (0, 2).
(c) Find the exact -coordinates of the points in part (a).
(d) Create even more fanciful curves by modifying the
equation in part (a).
