Detailed Solution

 Let the point at which tangent is parallel to X-axis be Px1,y1.

Then, it must lie on curve.

Therefore, we have y1=x13-3x1

Differentiating y=x3-3x w.r.t. x, we get

dydx=3x23dydxx1,y1=3x123

Since, the tangent is parallel to X-axis.

dydxx1,y1=03x123=0

x1=±1

When x1=1, then y1=1-3=-2

When x1=-1, then y1=-13=2

 Points at which tangent is parallel to X-axis are (1,-2) and (-1,2).
