Given, the equation of the tangent to the curve y = (x - 7)/{(x - 2)*(x - 3)} ...............1
Now, at the x-axis, y = 0
=> 0 = (x - 7)/{(x - 2)*(x - 3)}
=> x - 7 = 0
=> x = 7
So, the point is (7, 0)
Diferentiate equation 1 w.r.t. x, we get
dy/dx = {1 - y*(2x - 5)}/{(x -2)*(x - 3)}
Now dy/dx at (7, 0)
dy/dx = {1 - 0*(2*7 - 5)}/{(7 -2)*(7 - 3)}
=> dy/dx = 1/(5*4)
=> dy/dx = = 1/20
So, the slope of the tangent = 1/20
Now, the eqyuation of tangent at (7, 0) is
y - 0 = (1/20)*(x - 7)
=> y = (1/20)*(x - 7)
=> 20y = x - 7
=> x - 20y - 7 = 0
This is the required equation of the tangent.
