Given: Equation of curve is \(y=\sqrt{5 x-3}-2\) and the tangent to the curve \(y=\sqrt{5 x-3}-2\) is parallel to the line \(4 x-2 y+3=0\)
The given line \(4 x -2 y +3=0\) can be re-written as:
\(y =2 x +\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)=0\)
Now by comparing the above equation of line with \(y = m x + c\) we get,
\(m =2\) and \(c =\frac{3}{2}\)
\(\because\) The line \(4 x-2 y+3=0\) is parallel to the tangent to the curve \(y=\sqrt{5 x-3}-2\)
As we know that if two lines are parallel then their slope is same.
So, the slope of the tangent to the curve \(y=\sqrt{5 x-3}-2\) is \(m =2\)
Let, the point of contact be \(\left( x _{1}, y _{1}\right)\)
As we know that slope of the tangent at any point say \(\left(x_{1}, y_{1}\right)\) to a curve is given by:
\(m=\left[\frac{d y}{d x}\right]_{\left(x_{1}, y_{1}\right)}\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{5 x-3}} \cdot 5-0=\frac{5}{2 \sqrt{5 x-3}}\)
\(\Rightarrow\left[\frac{d y}{d x}\right]_{\left(x_{1}, y_{1}\right)}=\frac{5}{2 \sqrt{5 x_{1}-3}}\)
\(\because\) Slope of tangent to the curve \(y=\sqrt{5 x-3}-2\) is \(m =2\)
\(\Rightarrow 2=\frac{5}{2 \sqrt{5 x_{1}-3}}\)
By squaring both the sides of the above equation we get:
\(4=\frac{25}{4 \cdot\left(5 x_{1}-3\right)}\)
\(\Rightarrow x_{1}=\frac{73}{80}\)
\(\because\left( x _{1}, y _{1}\right)\) is point of conctact i.e., \(\left( x _{1}, y _{1}\right)\) will satisfy the equation of curve:
\(y=\sqrt{5 x-3}-2\)
\(\Rightarrow y_{1}=\sqrt{5 x_{1}-3}-2\)
By substituting \(x_{1}=\frac{73}{80}\) in the above equation we get:
\(y _{1}=-\frac{3}{4}\)
So, the point of contact is: \(\left(\frac{73}{80},-\frac{3}{4}\right)\)
As we know that equation of tangent at any point say \(\left(x_{1}, y_{1}\right)\) is given by:
\(y-y_{1}=\left[\frac{d y}{d x}\right]_{\left(x_{1}, y_{1}\right)} \cdot\left(x-x_{1}\right)\)
\(\Rightarrow y+\frac{3}{4}=2 \cdot\left(x-\frac{73}{80}\right)\)
\(\Rightarrow 80 x-40 y-103=0\)
So, the equation of tangent to the given curve at the point \(\left(\frac{73}{80},-\frac{3}{4}\right)\) is \(80 x -40 y-103=0\)
