Find points on the curve at which the tangents are (i) parallel to the x-axis (ii) parallel to the y-axis.
Find points on the curve at which the tangents are (i) parallel to the x-axis (ii) parallel to the y-axis.
For the curve y = 4x3 – 2x5, find all the points at which the tangent passes through the origin.
The equation of two curves are
x = y2 ...(1)
and xy = k ...(2)
From (1) and (2),
From (2),
At
Curves (1) and (2) cut at right angles if
i.e.,
Hence the result.
If the curve αx2 + βy2 = 1 and α' x2 + β'y2 = 1 intersect orthogonally, prove that (α – α') β β') = (β – β') α α'.
