The curves $y=4 x^2+2 x-8$ and $y=x^3-x+13$ touch each other at the point ............. .

Explanation

The curves $y=4 x^2+2 x-8$ and $y=x^3-x+13$ touch each other at the point $(3,34)$. Given, equation of curves are $y=4 x^2+2 x-8$ and $y=x^3-x+13$

$$\begin{array}{ll} \therefore & \frac{d y}{d x}=8 x+2 \\ \text { and } & \frac{d y}{d x}=3 x^2-1 \end{array}$$

So, the slope of both curves should be same

$\therefore \quad 8 x+2=3 x^2-1$

$$\begin{array}{lr} \Rightarrow & 3 x^2-8 x-3=0 \\ \Rightarrow & 3 x^2-9 x+x-3=0 \\ \Rightarrow & 3 x(x-3)+1(x-3)=0 \\ \Rightarrow & (3 x+1)(x-3)=0 \\ \therefore & x=-\frac{1}{3} \text { and } x=3, \end{array}$$

For $x=-\frac{1}{3}$, $$y=4 \cdot\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)^2+2 \cdot\left(\frac{-1}{3}\right)-8$$

$$\begin{aligned} & =\frac{4}{9}-\frac{2}{3}-8=\frac{4-6-72}{9} \\ & =-\frac{74}{9} \end{aligned}$$

and for $x=3, y=4 \cdot(3)^2+2 \cdot(3)-8$

$$=36+6-8=34$$

So, the required points are $(3,34)$ and $\left(-\frac{1}{3}, \frac{-74}{9}\right)$.
