Hints for problem 5 on PS6

If you are having trouble with problem 5, go back and take a look at the lecture "Stability" to see a related derivation of tangent line properties, for the liquid-vapor transition.

Also, don't forget that the conditions for the critical point for the liquid-vapor transition were:
d^2 a /dv^2 = 0 and d^3 a / dv^3 = 0
A similar set of two equations exists for the mixture.
