= 2(sin2x + cotx + 2)(cos2x) + ( – cosec2x) + (0)}


(sinx) = cosx


(cotx) = – cosec2x


= 2(sin2x + cotx + 2)(2cos2x – cosec2x)

Question 12.

Find the values of a and b if the The Slope of the tangent to the curve xy + ax + by = 2 at (1, 1) is 2.


Answer:

Given:


The Slope of the tangent to the curve xy + ax + by = 2 at (1,1) is 2


First, we will find The Slope of tangent


we use product rule here,


(UV) = U + V


⇒ xy + ax + by = 2


⇒ x(y) + y(x) + a(x) + b(y) + = (2)


⇒ x + y + a + b = 0


(x + b) + y + a = 0


(x + b) = – (a + y)



since, The Slope of the tangent to the curve xy + ax + by = 2 at (1,1) is 2


i.e, = 2


⇒ {}(x = 1,y = 1) = 2


= 2


⇒ – a – 1 = 2(1 + b)


⇒ – a – 1 = 2 + 2b


⇒ a + 2b = – 3 ...(1)


Also, the point (1,1) lies on the curve xy + ax + by = 2,we have


11 + a1 + b1 = 2


⇒ 1 + a + b = 2


⇒ a + b = 1 ...(2)


from (1) & (2),we get



substitute b = – 4 in a + b = 1


a – 4 = 1


⇒ a = 5


So the value of a = 5 & b = – 4



Question 13.

Answer:

Given:


The Slope of the tangent to the curve y = x3 + ax + b at


(1, – 6)


First, we will find The Slope of tangent


y = x3 + ax + b


(x3) + (ax) + (b)


= 3x3 – 1 + ) +


= 3x2 +


The Slope of the tangent to the curve y = x3 + ax + b at


(1, – 6) is


= 3(1)2 +


= 3 + ...(1)


The given line is x – y + 5 = 0


y = x + 5 is the form of equation of a straight line y = mx + c,where m is the The Slope of the line.


so the The Slope of the line is y = 1x + 5


so The Slope is 1. ...(2)


Also the point (1, – 6) lie on the tangent, so


x = 1 & y = – 6 satisfies the equation, y = x3 + ax + b


i.e, – 6 = 13 + a + b


⇒ – 6 = 1 + a + b


⇒ a + b = – 7 ...(3)


Since, the tangent is parallel to the line, from (1) & (2)


Hence,


3 + = 1


⇒ a = – 2


From (3)


a + b = – 7


⇒ – 2 + b = – 7


⇒ b = – 5


So the value is a = – 2 & b = – 5

so The Slope, m =


The Slope of the chord joining (1, – 2) & (2,2)




= 4 ...(2)


From (1) & (2)


3x2 – 3 = 4


⇒ 3x2 = 7

First, we will find The Slope of tangent


y = x3 – 2x2 – 2x


(x3) – (2x2) – (2x)


= 3x3 – 1(x2 – 1) – 2x1 – 1


= 3x2 – 4x – 2 ...(1)


y = 2x – 3 is the form of equation of a straight line y = mx + c,where m is the The Slope of the line.


so the The Slope of the line is y = 2(x) – 3


Thus, The Slope = 2. ...(2)


From (1) & (2)


⇒ 3x2 – 4x – 2 = 2


⇒ 3x2 – 4x = 4


⇒ 3x2 – 4x – 4 = 0


We will use factorization method to solve the above Quadratic equation.


⇒ 3x2 – 6x + 2x – 4 = 0


⇒ 3x(x – 2) + 2(x – 2) = 0


⇒ (x – 2)(3x + 2) = 0


⇒ (x – 2) = 0 & (3x + 2) = 0


⇒ x = 2 or


x =


Substitute x = 2 & x = in y = x3 – 2x2 – 2x


when x = 2


⇒ y = (2)3 – 2 (2)2 – 2(2)


⇒ y = 8 – (24) – 4


⇒ y = 8 – 8 – 4


⇒ y = – 4


when x =

Now ,Subtracting (2) from (1),we get


⇒ x2 + y2 – 4x – 1 – ( x2 + y2 – 2y – 9) = 0


⇒ x2 + y2 – 4x – 1 – x2 – y2 + 2y + 9 = 0


⇒ – 4x – 1 + 2y + 9 = 0


⇒ – 4x + 2y + 8 = 0


⇒ 2y = 4x – 8


⇒ y = 2x – 4


Substituting y = 2x – 4 in (3),we get,


⇒ (x – 2)2 + (2x – 4)2 – 5 = 0


⇒ (x – 2)2 + 4(x – 2)2 – 5 = 0


⇒ (x – 2)2(1 + 4) – 5 = 0


⇒ 5(x – 2)2 – 5 = 0


⇒ (x – 2)2 – 1 = 0


⇒ (x – 2)2 = 1

⇒ x = 1 + 2 or x = – 1 + 2


⇒ x = 3 or x = 1


So ,when x = 3

So ,when x = 3


y = 2×1 – 4


⇒ y = 2 – 4 = – 2

Solving (1) & (2),we get


⇒ 6y = 7 – x2


⇒ 6(x3) = 7 – x2


⇒ 6x3 + x2 – 7 = 0


Since f(x) = 6x3 + x2 – 7,


we have to find f(x) = 0,so that x is a factor of f(x).


when x = 1


f(1) = 6(1)3 + (1)2 – 7


f(1) = 6 + 1 – 7


f(1) = 0


Hence, x = 1 is a factor of f(x).


Substituting x = 1 in y = x3 ,we get


y = 13


y = 1


The point of intersection of two curves is (1,1)


First curve y = x3

⇒ x3 – 3xy2 + 3x2y – y3 = – 0


⇒ (x – y)3 = 0


⇒ (x – y) = 0


⇒ x = y


Substituting x = y on x3 – 3xy2 = – 2


⇒ x3 – 3×x×x2 = – 2


⇒ x3 – 3x3 = – 2


⇒ – 2x3 = – 2


⇒ x3 = 1


⇒ x = 1


Since x = y


y = 1


The point of intersection of two curves is (1,1)


First curve x3 – 3xy2 = – 2


Differentiating above w.r.t x,


⇒ 3x2 – 3(1×y2 + x×2y) = 0


⇒ 3x2 – 3y2 – 6xy0


⇒ 3x2 – 3y2 = 6xy

B. x – 3y + 8 = 0

C. x + 3y ± 8 = 0

D. x = 3y = 0


Answer:

Given that the normal to the curve 3x2 – y2 = 8 which is parallel to x + 3y = k.


Let (a, b) be the point of intersection of both the curve.


⇒ 3a2 – b2 = 8 ….(1)


and a + 3b = k ….(2)


Now, 3x2 – y2 = 8


On differentiating w.r.t. x,




Slope of the tangent at (a, b)


Slope of the normal at (a, b)


Slope of normal = Slope of the line



⇒ b = a ….(3)


Put (3) in (1),


3a2 – a2 = 8


⇒ 2a2=8


⇒ a = ±2


Case: 1


When a = 2, b = 2


⇒ x + 3y =k


⇒ k = 8


Case: 2


When a = -2, b = -2


⇒ x + 3y =k

From both the cases,


The equation of the normal to the curve 3x2 – y2 = 8 which is parallel to x + 3y = k is x + 3y = ±8.

⇒ x = 1 or 2


Equation of the tangent:


(y-y1)=Slope of tangent×(x-x1)


Case: 1


When x = 2


Slope of tangent = 1


Equation of tangent:


y = 1× (x – 2)


⇒ x – y – 2 = 0


Case: 2


When x = 1


Slope of tangent = -1


Equation of tangent:


y = -1× (x – 1)


⇒ x + y – 1 = 0


Hence, option B is correct.

Putting this and x =1 and y = 1 in the equation of the curve,


1 = 1 -1 + c


⇒ c = 1


Question 17.
