Solution:
Let the required point be $(\text{x}_1,\text{y}_2).$
The tangent makes an angle of 45° with the x-axis.
Slope of the tangent $=\tan 45^\circ=1$
Since, the point lies on the curve.
Hence, $\text{y}_{1}^2=\text{x}_1$
Now,
$\text{y}^2=\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow2\text{y}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=1$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}\approx\frac{1}{2\text{y}}$
Slope of the tangent $=\bigg(\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}\bigg)_{(\text{x}_1,\text{y}_1)}=\frac{1}{2\text{y}_1}$
Given:
$\frac{1}{2\text{y}_1}=1$
$\Rightarrow2\text{y}_1=1$
$\Rightarrow\text{y}_1=\frac{1}{2}$
Now,
$\text{x}_1=\text{y}^2_1-\big(\frac{1}{2}\big)^2-\frac{1}{4}$
$\therefore(\text{x}_1,\text{y}_1)=\Big(\frac{1}{4},\frac{1}{2}\Big)$
