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

(a) is parallel to x-axis
(b) is parallel to y-axis
(c) makes an acute angle with x-axis
(d) makes an obtuse angle with x-axis

Answer:

(c) makes an acute angle with x-axis

We have, y = 2x7 + 3x + 5
dydx=14x6+3dydx>3    x6 is always positive for any real value of xdydx>0So, tanθ>0Hence, θ lies in first quadrant.Thus, the tangent to the curve makes an acute angle with x-axis

Question 25:

The point on the curve 9y2 = x3, where the normal to the curve makes equal intercepts with the axes is

(a) 4, 83
(b) -4, 83
(c) 4, -83
(d) none of these

Answer:

(a) 4, 83 and (c) 4, -83

Let (x1, y1) be the required point.
Since, x1,y1 lies on the given curve9y12=x13               ...1Now, 9y2=x3 18y dydx=3x2dydx=3x218y=x26ySlope of the tangent = dydxx1, y1=x126y1Slope of the normal = -1x126y1=-6y1x12It is given that the normal makes equal intercepts with the axes.∴ Slope of the normal = ±1Now,-6y1x12=±1-6y1x12=1 or -6y1x12=-1y1=-x126 or y1=x126       ...2Case 1: When y1=-x126From (1), we have9x1436=x13x14=4x13x14-4x13=0x13x1-4=0x1=0, 4Putting x1=0 in 1, we get,9y12=0y1=0Putting x1=4 in 1, we get,9y12=43y1=±83But, the line making the equal intercepts with the coordinate axes can not pass through the origin.So,  the points are 4, ±83

Question 26:

The slope of the tangent to the curve x = t2 + 3t − 8, y = 2t2 − 2t − 5 at the point (2, −1) is

(a) 227
(b) 67
(c) 76
(d) -67

Answer:

(b) 67

Given:
x = t2 + 3t − 8 and y = 2t2 − 2t − 5

dxdt=2t+3 and dydt=4t-2dydx=dydtdxdt=4t-22t+3The given point is (2, -1).∴ x = 2 and y = -1Now,t2+3t-8=2 and 2t2-2t-5=-1t2+3t-10=0 and t2-t-2=0t+5t-2=0 and t+1t-2=0t=-5, 2 and t=-1, 2We can see that t=2 satisfies both of these.Slope of the tangent = dydxt=28-24+3=67
Thus, the correct option is (b).

Question 27:

The line y = mx + 1 is a tangent to the curve y2 = 4x, if the value of m is

(a) 1
(b) 2
(c) 3
(d) 12

Answer:

(a) 1
Let (x1, y1) be the required point.
The slope of the given line is m.
We have
y2=4x2y dydx=4dydx=42y=2ySlope of the tangent =dydx x1, y1=2y1Given:Slope of the tangent = mNow,2y1=m         ...1

Because the given line is a tangent to the given curve at point (x1, y1), this point lies on both the line and the curve.

y1=mx1+1 and y12=4x1x1=y1-1m and  x1=y124So, y1-1m=y124y1-12y1=y124 [From (1)]y1y1-12=y1242y12-2y1=y12y12-2y1=0y12-2y1=0y1y1-2=0y1=0, 2So, For y1=0, m=20=For y1=2, m=22=1
