  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Equation of the tangent to the curve  $$y(x-2)(x-3)-x+7=0$$ at the point where
    the curve cuts x-axis is
    Solution
    $$y=0$$  (at x-axis)
    $$0-x+7=0$$
    $$x=7$$
    $$y=\dfrac{x-7}{(x-2)(x-3)}$$
    $${y}'=\dfrac{(x-2)(x-3)-(x-7)(2x-5)}{(x-2)^{2}(x-3)^{2}}$$
    put $$x=7$$
    $$\dfrac{5\times 4-(0)}{(5\times 4)^{2}}$$
    $${y}'=\dfrac{1}{20}$$
    $$(y-0)=\dfrac{1}{20}(x-7)$$
    $$x-20y-7=0$$
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    P(1, 1) is a point on the parabola  $$y=x^{2}$$ whose vertex is A. The point on the curve at which the tangent drawn is parallel to the chord  $$\overline{AP}$$   is
    Solution
    $$tan \theta =\dfrac{(1-0)}{(1-0)}=1$$
    $${y}'=2x$$
    $$2x=1$$
    $$x=\dfrac{1}{2}, y=\dfrac{1}{4}$$
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Equation of the tangent to the parabola $$y^{2}=4x+5$$ which is parallel to the line $$y= 2x + 7$$ is
    Solution
    Differentiating the equation given,we obtain 
    $$2{y}'y=2$$
    $${y}'=2$$
    $$\dfrac{2}{y}=2$$
    $$y=1$$
    $$x=-1$$
    $$(y-1)=2(x+1)$$
    $$y=2x+3$$
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    For the parabola $$y^{2}=8x$$, tangent and normal are drawn at $$P(2, 4)$$ which meet the axis of the parabola in $$A$$ and $$B$$, then the length of the diameter of the circle through $$A, P, B$$ is
    Solution
    Considering the equation of the parabola
    $$y^{2}=8x$$
    The axis of symmetry is the positive $$x-$$axis.
    By, differentiating with respect to $$x$$, we get 
    $$2y.y'=8$$
    $$y'=\dfrac{4}{y}$$
    Hence, $$y'_{(2,4)}=1$$
    Thus slope of the tangent at the point of contact $$P(2,4)$$ is $$1$$ while that of normal is $$-1$$.
    Hence, equation of the tangent will be 
    $$\dfrac{y-4}{x-2}=1$$
    $$-x+y=2$$   ...(i)
    Hence, the tangent meets the x axis at $$(-2,0)$$
    Therefore, $$A=(-2,0)$$.

    Equation of normal will be 
    $$\dfrac{y-4}{x-2}=-1$$
    $$x+y=6$$   ...(ii)
    Hence the normal meets the x axis at $$(6,0)$$.
    Thus, $$B=(6,0)$$

    Therefore the three points through which the circle passes are 
    $$(-2,0),(6,0),(2,4)$$
    Now let the equation of the circle be 
    $$(x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2}=r^{2}$$
    Therefore 
    $$(-2-h)^{2}+k^{2}=r^{2}$$
    $$\rightarrow (2+h)^{2}+k^{2}=r^{2}$$
    $$(6-h)^{2}+k^{2}=r^{2}$$
    Subtracting {ii} from {i}, we get 
    $$2h-4=0$$
    $$h=2$$
    Therefore the equation of the circle reduces to 
    $$(x-2)^{2}+(y-k)^{2}=r^{2}$$
    Now 
    $$(2-2)^{2}+(4-k)^{2}=r^{2}$$
    $$\rightarrow (4-k)^{2}=r^{2}$$
    $$(6-2)^{2}+k^{2}=r^{2}$$
    $$\rightarrow 16+k^{2}=r^{2}$$
    Subtracting i from ii, we get 
    $$16+k^{2}-(k-4)^{2}=0$$
    $$16+(2k-4)(4)=0$$
    $$4+2k-4=0$$
    $$k=0$$
    Thus the centre of the circle lies at $$C=(2,0)$$.
    Hence the radius of the circle is 
    $$CA=CP=CB$$
    Now 
    $$CA=\sqrt{(2-(-2))^{2}+0^{2}}$$
    $$=2-(-2)$$
    $$=4$$
    $$=r$$

    Hence, the diameter of the circle is $$8$$ units.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    If the curves $$y=x^{2}-1,\ y=8x-x^{2}-9$$  touch each other at (2, 3) then equation of the common tangent is
    Solution
    $$y_{1}^{1}=2x$$
    $$y_{2}^{1}=8-2x$$
    at the tangent point slope will be
    some.
    $$2x=8-2x$$
    $$4x=8$$
    $$x=2$$
    $$y=3$$
    $$y^{1}=4$$
    $$(y-3)=4(x-2)$$
    $$y=4x-5$$

  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    The point on the hyperbola $$y = \dfrac {x - 1}{x + 1}$$ at which the tangents are parallel to $$y = 2x + 1$$ are
    Solution
    $${y}'=\dfrac{(x+1)-(x-1)}{(x+1)^{2}}$$
    $${y}'=2   (\therefore$$ parallel to $$y =2x+1)$$
    $$\dfrac{2}{(x+1)^{2}}=2$$
    $$(x+1)^{2}=1$$
    $$x=0$$ or  $$x=-2$$
    Using the equation of hyperbola, when $$x=0$$, $$y=-1$$. 
                                                         when $$x=-2$$, $$y=3$$
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Assertion(A): The tangent to the curve $$y=x^{3}-x^{2}-x+2$$ at (1, 1) is parallel to the x axis.
    Reason(R): The slope of the tangent to the above curve at (1, 1) is zero.
    Solution
    $$y^{1}=3x^{2}-2x-1$$
    $$y^{1}|_{x=1}=0=m$$
    $$m=0$$
    $$\therefore$$ the curve is parallel to x-axis.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Assertion A: The curves $$x^{2}=y,\ x^{2}=-y$$  touch each other at (0, 0).
    Reason R: The slopes of the tangents at (0, 0) for both the curves are equal.
    Solution
    $$y'=2x$$
    $$y'|_{x=0}=0=m_{1}$$
    $$y'=-2x$$
    $$y'|_{x=0}=0=m_{2}$$
    $$m_{1}=m_{2}$$
    $$\therefore$$ both the curve touches each other
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Observe the following statements for the curve $$y=2.e^{\frac{-x}{3}}$$
    I : The slope of the tangent to the curve where it meets y-axis is $$\displaystyle \frac{-2}{3}$$
    II:The equation of normal to the curve where it meets y-axis is $$3x+2y+4=0$$.
    Which of the above statement is correct
    Solution
    $$y'=\cfrac{-2}{3}e^{-x}$$
    $$y'|_{x=0}=\frac{-2}{3}$$
    $$y=2,\ x=0$$
    $$(y-2)=\dfrac{3}{2}(x-0)$$
    $$2y-3x-4=0$$
    only 2 is true
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Match the points on the curve  $$2y^{2}=x+1$$ with the slope of normals at those points and choose 
    the correct answer.
    Point
    Slope of normal
    I : $$(7, 2)$$

    $$a){-4\sqrt{2}}$$

    II: $$(0, \displaystyle \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})$$

    $$b) -8$$
    III : $$(1, 1)$$
    $$c) -4$$
    IV:  $$(3, \sqrt{2})$$


    $$d){-2\sqrt{2}}$$



    Solution
    $$\displaystyle y'=\frac{1}{4y}=m$$

    Slope of normal $$m'=-4y$$

    For given points slope is 
    (1) $$m'_{1}=-4\times 2 ==-8$$
    (2) $$m'_{2}=-4\times \dfrac{1}{\sqrt 2}=-2\sqrt{2}$$
    (3) $$m'_{3}=-4\times 1=-4$$
    (4) $$m'_{4}=-4\times {\sqrt 2}=-4\sqrt{2}$$

    Option A is correct answer
