A curve passes through the point

(2,0)

and the slope of the tangent at any point

(x, y)

x^2-2 x

for all value of

x

. The point of maximum ordinate on the curve is

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

(0,4 / 3)

Option A ((0,4/3)) is correct because the point of maximum ordinate is (0, 4/3), which is found by integrating the slope function and finding the critical points.
