Find the point on curve 4x2 + 9y2 = 1, where the tangents are perpendicular to the line 2y + x = 0.


The equation of curve is 4x2 + 9y2 = 1                              ...(1)
Diff. w.r.t. x, 8 straight x plus 18 straight y dy over dx space equals space 0
therefore space space space dy over dx space equals space minus 4 over 9. space straight x over straight y space space space space space space rightwards double arrow space space space space space space space space space space slope space of space tangent space space equals space minus fraction numerator 4 straight x over denominator 9 straight y end fraction
therefore space space space space space space straight m subscript 1 space equals space minus 4 over 9 straight x over straight y comma space space space where space straight m subscript 1 space space is space slope space of space tangent. space
Let space straight m subscript 2 space be space slope space of space space 2 straight y plus straight x space equals space 0
therefore space space space space space space straight m subscript 2 space equals space minus 1 half space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space... left parenthesis 2 right parenthesis
because space space tangent space is space perpendicular space to space line space left parenthesis 2 right parenthesis
therefore space space space space space space straight m subscript 1 straight m subscript 2 space equals space minus 1. space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space rightwards double arrow space space fraction numerator 4 straight x over denominator 9 straight y end fraction cross times negative 1 half space equals space minus 1 space space space space space rightwards double arrow space space space space space straight y space equals space minus fraction numerator 2 straight x over denominator 9 end fraction
Putting space this space value space of space straight y space in space left parenthesis 1 right parenthesis comma space we space get comma
