The correct answer is: x3-y2=2

Given y=x3+3x2+5

Now dydx=3x2+6x

So at point x1,y1

dydxat x1,y1=3x12+6x1   ... i

Also slope of line in two point form will be y1-0x1-0   ... ii

Also x1,y1 lie on curve

We get y1=x13+3x12+5   ... iii

From equation i and ii we get 3x13+6x12=y1 (as slope is equal)

Now y1=3x13+6x12=x13+3x12+5

2y1=3x12+152

i.e. 2y=3x2+152 does not intersect the curve x3-y2=2
