Hello Student,
Please find answer to your question below

y = 2x^3 - 15x^2 + 36x - 21
Slope of tangent: y’ = 0
y' = 2.3x^2 - 15.2x + 36 = 0
6x^2 - 30x + 36 = 0
x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0
(x-3)(x-2) = 0
\Rightarrow x = 2, 3
Find the corresponding y and thats gonna be the eauation of tangents.
x = 2
y = 2.2^3 - 15.2^2 + 36.2 - 21
y = 16 - 60 + 72 - 21 = 7
x = 3
y = 2.3^3 - 15.3^2 + 36.3 - 21
y = 54 - 135 + 108 - 21 = 6
y = 6 and y = 7 are equation of tangents.
