Question 21:

Find the equation of  the tangents to the curve 3x2y2 = 8, which passes through the point (4/3, 0).

Answer:

We have,

3x2 – y2 = 8                   ...(i)

Differentiating both sides w.r.t x, we get

6x-2ydydx=02ydydx=6xdydx=6x2ydydx=3xy

Let tangent at (h, k) pass through 43, 0.

Since, (h, k) lies on (i), we get

3h2-k2=8                   ...(ii)

Slope of tangent at (h, k) = 3hk

The equation of tangent at (h, k) is given by,

(y-k)=3hk(x-h)                    ...(iii)

Since, the tangent passess through 43, 0.

 (0-k)=3hk43-h-k=4hk-3h2k-k2=4h-3h2

8-3h2=4h-3h2          From ii8=4hh=2

Using (ii), we get

12-k2=8k2=4k=±2

So, the points on curve (i) at which tangents pass through 43, 0 are 2, ±2.

Now, from (iii), the equation of tangents are
(y-2)=62(x-2), or, 3x-y-4=0, and(y+2)=6-2(x-2), or, 3x+y-4=0

3y = 6x − 5x3

Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get

3dydx=6-15x2

dydx=2-5x2

∴ Slope of tangent to the given curve at (hk) = dydxh,k=2-5h2

Slope of normal to the given curve at (hk) = -1dydxh,k=-12-5h2

Equation of the normal to the given curve at (hk) is


y-k=-12-5h2x-h

This equation passes through the origin.

0-k=-12-5h20-h

k=-h2-5h2          .....(2)

From (1) and (2), we have

-h2-5h2=6h-5h33

15h2-2=6-5h23

30h2-25h4-12+10h2=3

25h4-40h2+15=0

5h4-8h2+3=0

5h4-5h2-3h2+3=0

5h2h2-1-3h2-1=0

h2-15h2-3=0

h2 − 1 = 0 or 5h2 − 3 = 0

h2 = 1 or h2=35

h = ±1 or h=±35

Thus, the abscissa of the points on the given curve, the normal at which passes through the origin are -35, −1, 1 and 35.

Hence, the correct answer is option (a).

Question 31:

Two curves x3 - 3xy2 + 2 = 0 and 3x2y - y3 = 2
(a) touch each other                       (b) cut at right angle 
(c) cut an angle  π3                       (d) cut at an angle π4

Answer:


The given curves are x3 − 3xy2 + 2 = 0 and 3x2y y3 = 2.

We know that the angle of intersection of two curves is defined to be the angle between the tangents to the two curves at their point of intersection.

Let (x1, y1) be the point of intersection of two curves,

Consider the first curve C≡ x3 − 3xy2 + 2 = 0.

x3 − 3xy2 + 2 = 0

Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get

3x2-3x×2ydydx+y2×1+ 0=0

3x2-6xydydx-3y2=0

dydx=3x2-3y26xy

∴ Slope of tangent to the first curve at (x1, y1) = dydxC1=x12-y122x1y1

Now, consider the second curve C≡ 3x2 y3 = 2.

3x2 y3 = 2

Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get

3x2×dydx+y×2x-3y2dydx=0

3x2-3y2dydx=-6xy

dydx=-6xy3x2-3y2

∴ Slope of tangent to the second curve at (x1, y1) = dydxC2=-2x1y1x12-y12

Now, dydxC1×dydxC2=x12-y122x1y1×-2x1y1x12-y12=-1

The tangents to the two curves are perpendicular to each other.

Thus, the two curves cut at right angle.

Hence, the correct answer is option (b).

Question 32:

The tangent to the curve x = et cost, y = et sin t at tπ4 makes with x-axis an angle 
(a) 0              (b) π4           (c) π3              (d) π2

Answer:


The given curve is x = et costy = et sint.

x = et cost

Differentiating both sides with respect to t, we get

dxdt=et×-sint+cost×et

dxdt=etcost-sint

y = et sint

Differentiating both sides with respect to t, we get

dydt=et×cost+sint×et

dydt=etcost+sint

Now,

Slope of tangent to the given curve =dydx=dydtdxdt=etcost+sintetcost-sint=cost+sintcost-sint

∴ Slope of tangent to the given curve at t=π4 =dydxt=π4 =cosπ4+sinπ4cosπ4-sinπ4=12+1212-12=20=

Let the angle made by the tangent to the given curve at t = π4 with the x-axis be θ.

∴ tanθ = Slope of tangent to the given curve at t=π4 = 

tanθ=tanπ2

θ=π2


Thus, the tangent to the curve x = et costy = et sint at t = π4 makes with x-axis an angle π2.

Hence, the correct answer is option (d).

Question 33:

The tangent to the curve y = e2x at the point (0,1) meets x-axis at :
(a) (0, 1)              (b) -12,0           (c) (2, 0)            (d) (0, 2)

Answer:


The given curve is y = e2x.

y = e2x

dydx=2e2x

dydx0,1=2e2×0=2×1=2        .....(1)

So, the equation of tangent at (0, 1) is

y-1=dydx0,1x-0

y-1=2x              [Using (1)]

2x-y+1=0        .....(2)  

This tangent meet the x-axis where y = 0.

Putting y = 0 in (2), we get

2x-0+1=0

x=-12

Thus, the tangent to the given curve y = e2x at the point (0,1) meets x-axis at -12,0.

Hence, the correct answer is option (b).

Question 34:

The equation of tangent to the curve y(1 + x2) = 2 - x, where it crosses x-axis is 
(a) x + 5y = 2              (b) x - 5y = 2             (c) 5x - y = 2                (d) 5x + y = 2

Answer:


The equation of given curve is

y(1 + x2) = 2 − x          .....(1)

This cuts the x-axis at the point, where y = 0.

Putting y = 0 in (1), we get

0 × (1 + x2) = 2 − x 

⇒ 2 − x = 0

x = 2

So, the given curve intersects the x-axis at (2, 0).

y(1 + x2) = 2 − x

Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get

y×2x+1+x2×dydx=-1

1+x2dydx=-1-2xy

dydx=-1+2xy1+x2

∴ Slope of tangent to the given curve at (2, 0) = dydx2,0=-1+2×2×01+22=-15

So, the equation of tangent at (2, 0) is

y-0=dydx2,0x-2

y=-15x-2

5y=-x+2

x+5y=2

Thus, the equation of tangent to the given curve where it crosses x-axis is x + 5y = 2.

Hence, the correct answer is option (a).

Question 35:

The points at which the tangents to the curve y = x3 - 12x + 18 are parallel to x-axis are 
(a) (2, -2)(-2, -34)                      (b) (2, 34)(-2, 0)
(c) (0, 34)(-2, 0)                         (d) (2, 2)(-2, 34)

Answer:


Let (x1, y1) be the point of contact of tangent with the given curve y = x3 − 12x + 18.

y1=x13-12x+18       .....(1)

y = x3 − 12x + 18

Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get

dydx=3x2-12

∴ Slope of tangent at (x1, y1) = dydxx1,y1=3x12-12

It is given that, the tangent is parallel to the x-axis.

dydxx1,y1=0

3x12-12=0

x12=4

x1 = −2 or x1 = 2

Putting x1 = −2 in (1), we get

y1=-23-12×-2+18=-8+24+18=34

Putting x1 = 2 in (1), we get

y1=23-12×2+18=8-24+18=2

So, the coordinates of the point of contact are (−2, 34) and (2, 2).

Thus, the points at which the tangents to the given curve are parallel to x-axis are (−2, 34) and (2, 2).

Hence, the correct answer is option (d).

Question 36:

The curve y = x1/5 has at (0, 0)
(a) a vertical tangent                      (b) a horizontal tangent
(c) an oblique tangent                   (d) no tangent  

Answer:


The given curve is

y=x15

Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get

dydx=15x-45

At (0, 0), we have

dydx0,0=15×0-45=15×=

We know that, if dydx=, then the tangent is parallel to the y-axis.

Now, dydx0,0=

So, the tangent to the given curve at (0, 0) is parallel to the y-axis.

Thus, the curve y=x15 has at (0, 0) a vertical tangent.

Hence, the correct answer is option (a).

Question 1:

The equation of the normal to the curve y = tan x at (0, 0) is ______________.

Answer:


The given curve is

y = tanx

Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we have

dydx=sec2x

∴ Slope of tangent at (0, 0) = dydx0,0=sec20=12=1

⇒ Slope of normal at (0, 0) = -1dydx0,0=-11=-1

So, the equation of normal at (0, 0) is

y-0=-1dydx0,0x-0

y=-1×x

x+y=0

Thus, the equation of the normal to the given curve at (0, 0) is x + y = 0.

Question 2:

The value of  'a' for which y = x2 + ax + 25 touches the axis of x are ______________.

Answer:


The given curve is y = x2 + ax + 25.

Suppose this curve touches the x-axis at (h, 0).

0 = h2 + ah + 25             .....(1)

y = x2 + ax + 25

Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get

dydx=2x+a

∴ Slope of tangent at (h, 0) = dydxh,0=2h+a

The given curve touches the x-axis at (h, 0). Therefore,

dydxh,0=0            (Slope of the x-axis = 0)

2h+a=0

h=-a2

Putting h=-a2 in (1), we get

0=-a22+a×-a2+25

a24-a22+25=0

a24=25

a2=100

a=±10

So, the values of 'a' are −10 and 10.

Thus, the values of  'a' for which y = x2 + ax + 25 touches the x-axis are −10 and 10.


The value of  'a' for which y = x2 + ax + 25 touches the axis of x are __−10 and 10__.

Answer:


Let (hk) be the point on the curve y = 12x − x3 at which the gradient (or slope) of the tangent is zero.

∴ k = 12h − h3           .....(1)

y = 12x − x3

Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get

dydx=12-3x2

dydxh,k=12-3h2=0           (Given)

12-3h2=0

h2=4

⇒ h = −2 or h = 2

Putting h = −2 in (1), we get

k = 12 × (−2) − (−2)3 = −24 + 8 = −16

Putting h = 2 in (1), we get

k = 12 × 2 − (2)3 = 24 − 8 = 16

So, the coordinates of the required point are (−2, −16) and (2, 16).

Thus, the points on the curve y = 12x − x3 at which the gradient is zero are (−2, −16) and (2, 16).


The points on the curve y = 12x − x3 at which the gradient is zero are ___(−2, −16) and (2, 16)___.

Answer:


Let (h, k) be the point on the curve y = x logex at which the normal is parallel to the line 2x − 2y = 3.

y = x logex

Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get

dydx=x×1x+logex×1

dydx=1+logex

It is given that, the normal is parallel to the line 2x − 2y = 3.

∴ Slope of normal at (h, k) = Slope of the given line

-1dydxh,k=-2-2

-11+logeh=1

1+logeh=-1

logeh=-2

h=e-2=1e2

Now, (h, k) lies on the given curve.

k=hlogeh       .....(1)

Putting h=1e2 in (1), we get

k=1e2×loge1e2

k=1e2×logee-2

k=-2e2       logab=bloga

So, the coordinates of the required points are 1e2,-2e2.

Thus, the coordinates of a point on the curve y = x logex at which the normal is parallel to the line 2x − 2y = 3 are 1e2,-2e2

Answer:


Let (h, k) be the point on the curve y=2+4x+1 where tangent has slope 25.

y=2+4x+1

Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get

dydx=0+124x+1×4

dydx=24x+1

∴ Slope of tangent at (h, k) = dydxh,k=25            (Given)

24h+1=25

4h+1=5

4h+1=25

4h=24

h=6

Now, (h, k) lies on the given curve y=2+4x+1.

k=2+4h+1     .....(1)

Putting h = 6 in (1), we get

k=2+4×6+1

k=2+25

k=2+5=7

So, the coordinates of the required point are (6, 7).

Thus, the coordinates of the point on the curve y=2+4x+1 where tangent has slope 25 are (6, 7).

Question 6:

The slope of the tangent to the curve x = 3t2 + 1, y = t3 − 1 at x = 1 is ________________.

Answer:


The given curve is x = 3t2 + 1, y = t3 − 1.

When x = 1, we have

3t2 + 1 = 1

⇒ 3t2 = 0

t = 0

Now,

x = 3t2 + 1

Differentiating both sides with respect to t, we get

dxdt=6t       .....(1)

y = t3 − 1

Differentiating both sides with respect to t, we get

dydt=3t2      .....(2)

dydx=dydtdxdt=3t26t=t2      [Using (1) and (2)]

At t = 0, slope of the tangent = dydxt=0  = 02 = 0            dydx=t2         

So, the slope of the tangent to the given curve at t = 0 (or x = 1) is 0.

Thus, the slope of the tangent to the curve x = 3t2 + 1, y = t3 − 1 at x = 1 is 0.

Answer:


The given curves are y = x2 and x = y2.

Let C1 represents the curve y = x2 and C2 represents the curve x = y2.

y = x2

Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get

dydx=2x

∴ Slope of the tangent to the curve C1 at (0, 0) = dydx0,0  = 2 × 0 = 0

So, the the tangent to the curve y = x2 at (0, 0) is parallel to the x-axis.

x = y2

Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get

1=2ydydx

dydx=12y

∴ Slope of the tangent to the curve C2 at (0, 0) = dydx0,0  =12×0=10=

So, the tangent to the curve x = y2 at (0, 0) is parallel to the y-axis.


Now, the tangent to the curve y = x2 at (0, 0) is parallel to the x-axis and tangent to the curve x = y2 at (0, 0) is parallel to the y-axis. So, the angle between the tangents to the given curves at (0, 0) is π2.

Thus, the angle of intersection of the given curves = x2 and x = y2 at (0, 0) is π2.

Putting x = 0 in (1), we get

y=be-0a

y=be0

y=b

So, the coordinates of the point where the given curve crosses y-axis is (0, b).

y=be-xa

Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get

dydx=be-xa×-1a

dydx=-bae-xa

∴ Slope of the tangent at (0, b) =dydx0,b=-bae-0a=-bae0=-ba

Thus, the slope of tangent to the given curve y=be-xa where it crosses y-axis i.e. (0, b) is -ba.

dydx=2e2x

∴ Slope of tangent at (0, 1) = dydx0,1=2e2×0=2×1=2        .....(1)

So, the equation of tangent at (0, 1) is

y-1=dydx0,1x-0

y-1=2x              [Using (1)]

2x-y+1=0        .....(2)  

This tangent cuts the x-axis where y = 0.

Putting y = 0 in (2), we get

2x-0+1=0

x=-12

So, the coordinates of the required point are -12,0.

Thus, the tangent to the given curve y = e2x at (0, 1) cuts the x-axis at -12,0.

2ydydx=5

dydx=52y

∴ Slope of normal at (1, −2)

=-152×-2

=45

So, the equation of normal at (1, −2) is

y--2=-1dydx1,-2x-1

y--2=45x-1

5y+10=4x-4

4x-5y-14=0

Comparing with the given equation of normal ax − 5y + b = 0, we get

a = 4 and b = −14

a + b = 4 + (−14) = −10

Thus, the value of a + b is −10.

=-1-y1x1

=x1y1

=x12           [Using (1)]

The given equation of normal to the curve is ax + by + c = 0.

Slope of this line = -ab

x12=-ab

ab=-x12

Now, x12 is always positive.

ab < 0 ∀ x ∈ R

Thus, the set of values of ab is the set of all negative real numbers i.e. (−∞, 0).

Let (h, k) be the point of contact of tangent with the curve.

k=h+4h2       .....(1)

y=x+4x2

Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get

dydx=1-8x3

∴ Slope of tangent at (h, k) =dydxh,k=1-8h3

It is given that, the tangent to the given curve is parallel to the x-axis.

∴ Slope of tangent = 0

dydxh,k=0

1-8h3=0

h3=8

h=2

Putting h = 2 in (1), we get

k=2+422=2+1 =3

Thus, the point of contact of tangent with the curve is (2, 3).

So, the equation of the tangent at (2, 3) is

y-3=dydx2,3x-2

y-3=0               dydx2,3=0

Question 17:

The slope of the normal to the curve x2 + y2 − 2x + 4y − 5 = 0 at (2, 1) is _________________.

Answer:


The equation of given curve is

x2 + y2 − 2x + 4y − 5 = 0

Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get

2x+2ydydx-2+4dydx-0=0

2y+4dydx=2-2x

dydx=1-xy+2

∴ Slope of normal at (2, 1)

=-1dydx2,1

=-11-21+2

=-1-13

= 3

Thus, the slope of normal to the given curve x2 + y2 − 2x + 4y − 5 = 0 at (2, 1) is 3.

Question 18:

The point on the curve y2 = x, the tangent at which makes an angle of 45o with x-axis is ____________________.

Answer:


Let (h, k) be the point on the curve y2 = x, the tangent at which makes an angle of 45º with x-axis.

y2 = x

Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get

2ydydx=1

dydx=12y

∴ Slope of tangent at (h, k) = dydxh,k=12k     .....(1)

It is given that, the tangent makes an angle of 45º with x-axis.

∴ Slope of the tangent = tan45º = 1        .....(2)

From (1) and (2), we have

12k=1

k=12

Now, (h, k) lies on the curve.

k2 = h     .....(3)

Putting k=12 in (3), we get

h=122=14

So, the coordinates of the required point are 14,12.

Thus, the point on the curve y2 = x, the tangent at which makes an angle of 45º with x-axis is 14,12


The point on the curve y2 = x, the tangent at which makes an angle of 45o with x-axis is      14,12     .

Question 19:

The curve y = 4x2 + 2x − 8 and y = x3x + 13 touch each other at the point _________________.

Answer:


Disclaimer: The solution has been provided for the following question.

The curve y = 4x2 + 2x − 8 and y = x3x + 10 touch each other at the point _________________.


Solution:

Let the given curves each other at the point (h, k).

k = 4h2 + 2h − 8      .....(1)

k = h3h + 10            .....(2)

Consider the first curve C1y = 4x2 + 2x − 8.

y = 4x2 + 2x − 8

dydx=8x+2

∴ Slope of tangent to the curve C1 at (h, k) = dydxh,k=8h+2

Consider the second curve C2y = x3x + 10.

y = x3x + 10

dydx=3x2-1

∴ Slope of tangent to the curve C2 at (h, k) = dydxh,k=3h2-1

It is given that, the two curves touch each other at (h, k).

∴ Slope of tangent to the curve C1 at (h, k) = Slope of tangent to the curve C2 at (h, k)

8h+2=3h2-1

3h2-8h-3=0

3h2-9h+h-3=0

3hh-3+1h-3=0

3h+1h-3=0

⇒ 3h + 1 = 0 or h − 3 = 0

h = -13 or h = 3

Putting h = -13 in (1), we get

k=4-132+2×-13-8=49-23-8=-749

Putting h = -13 in (2), we get

k=-133--13+10=-127+13+10=27827

Here, the values of k are not same for the two curves for h = -13.

So, the two curves do not touch each other when h = -13. However, the tangents are parallel to each other at h = -13.

Putting h = 3 in (1), we get

k=4×32+2×3-8=36+6-8=34

Putting h = 3 in (2), we get

k=33-3+10=27-3+10=34

Here, the values of k are same for the two curves when h = 3.

So, the two curves touch each other at (3, 34).

Thus, the curves y = 4x2 + 2x − 8 and y = x3x + 10 touch each other at the point (3, 34).


The curve y = 4x2 + 2x − 8 and y = x3x + 10 touch each other at the point ___(3, 34)___.
