Detailed Solution

Let Px1,y1 be a point on y2=2x3 such that the

tangent at P is perpendicular to the line 4x3y+2=0.

 dydxx1,y1×43=1dydxx1,y1=34               ..(i)

Now, 

y2=2x3 2ydydx=6x2dydxx1,y1=3x12y1                             …(ii)

Frum (i) and (ii), we get

y2=2x33x12y134y14x12                                              …(iii)

Since x1,y1 lies on y2=2x3

 y12=2x13                                                                  …(iv)

Solving (iii) and (iv), we get

4x12=2x13x1=0,x1=1/8 

Putting the values of x1 in (iv), we get

y1=0,y1=±116

Hence, the required points are (0, 0), (1/8, 1/16) ,(1/8,-1 /16)
