\

(a)

\

The equation of the parabola is \"\".

\

The two lines that do not intersect are parallel  means the slopes are identical.

\

The slope of the tangent line is the same as he parabola at the tangent point.

\

Consider \"\".

\

Apply derivative on each side with respect to \"\".

\

\"\".

\

\"\"

\

\"\"

\

The value of \"\"are distinct for all values.

\

Hence, it is impossible to have two distinct parallel tangent lines to a parabola.

\

Therefore, all pairs of tangent lines intersect.

\

\"\"

\

(b) The equation of the parabola is \"\" at the points \"\" and \"\".

\

\"\"

\

Apply derivative on each side with respect to \"\".

\

\"\"

\

\"\"

\

\"\".

\

The derivative of the function at the point \"\" is \"\".

\

The tangent line of the parabola at \"\" is \"\".

\

\"\".

\

The derivative of the function at the point \"\" is \"\".

\

The tangent line of the parabola at \"\" is \"\"

\"\"

\

Substitute \"\".

\"\".

\

Substitute \"\" in \"\".

\

\"\".

\

Therefore, the point of the intersection lines is at \"\".

\

\"\"

\

(a) All pairs of tangent lines intersect.
