a) looks about right
https://www.desmos.com/calculator/2x8jxmsu6j
So find the point(s) of intersection between the curve and the normal and show there is only a single solution (that point).

well one would be to firstly equate the two equations.. and then rearrange to get 6x^3+4x^2-10.. you could use the discriminant....provided its a quadratic function.. but its not.. so you can't. Which then leavesway you to long division(at least that's a method I'm aware you could use).. and as its given that the solution is x=1.. a factor would be (x-1) and so you divide
6x^3+4x^2-10 with x-1.. and you then obtain a quadratic function and your original (x-1) factor.. you then use the discriminant for the quadratic function, which shows that the discriminant is a negative value.. and so only one solution exists... which is your x=1, hence the normal only meets the curve once... hope that helped
