Problem 3.8.46a
Textbook Question
45–50. Tangent lines Carry out the following steps. <IMAGE>
a. Verify that the given point lies on the curve.
x³+y³=2xy; (1, 1)

1
Substitute the coordinates of the point (1, 1) into the equation of the curve x³ + y³ = 2xy to check if it satisfies the equation.
Calculate the left-hand side of the equation by evaluating 1³ + 1³.
Calculate the right-hand side of the equation by evaluating 2 * 1 * 1.
Compare the results of the left-hand side and the right-hand side to determine if they are equal.
If they are equal, conclude that the point (1, 1) lies on the curve; if not, it does not.
