Title Determine the equation of the tangent to the curve $C$ which is parallel to the line $d$

Let $C$ be the curve of equation $f(x)=\frac43x^3+2x^2+3x+7$ and $d$ the line of equation $y-2x+3=0$.

• @mt_. Everyone is welcome here but we have the chance to have a common language almost accepted everywhere : English. Why then should be avoid posts in Eskimo or in Papuan or written in hieroglyphs ? May I add that I am a Frenchman. – Claude Leibovici Oct 4 '14 at 14:12
• With a translation, any language is welcome here (thanks @SamiBenRomdhane and others who contributed). The translation also fixed the problem statement appearing only in the title (it should be fully stated in the body of the Question as well). – hardmath Oct 4 '14 at 14:19
• @ClaudeLeibovici since not everyone can write English, and since there are a large number of MSE users willing to translate non-English questions, I think (as the top-voted post on my link suggested) we ought to welcome translateable non-English posts. – Matthew Towers Oct 4 '14 at 16:31

The equation of tangent to the curve $C$ on the point $(x_0,f(x_0))$ is

$$y=f(x_0)+(x-x_0)f'(x_0)\tag1$$ and the tangent is parallel to the line $d$ iff

$$f'(x_0)=4x_0^2+4x_0+3=2\iff(2x_0+1)^2=0\iff x_0=-\frac12$$ now replace $x_0$ by its value in $(1)$ and we are done.

L'équation de la tangente à la courbe $C$ en le point $(x_0,f(x_0))$ est

$$y=f(x_0)+(x-x_0)f'(x_0)\tag1$$ et cette tangente est parallèle à la droie $d$ ssi

$$f'(x_0)=4x_0^2+4x_0+3=2\iff(2x_0+1)^2=0\iff x_0=-\frac12$$ maintenant remplace $x_0$ par sa valeur trouvée en $(1)$ et on a terminé.
