The equation of the tangent to the curve y = be- x/a at the point where it crosses the Y-axis, is

  • xa + yb = 1

  • xa - yb = 1

  • ax + by = 1

  • ax - by = 1


A.

xa + yb = 1

Given equation of the curve

y = be- x/a meets the Y-axis at (0, b).

Again, dydx = be- x/a- 1a

At (0, b), dydx = be0- 1a = - ba

Therefore, the required tangent is,

        y - b = - bax - 0 xa + yb = 1

Let y be the number of people in a village at time t. Assume that the rate of change of the population is proportional to the number of people in the village at any time and further assume that the population never increases in time. Then, the population of the village at any fixed time t is given by

  • y = ekt + c, for some constants c  0 and k  0

  • y = cekt, for some constants c  0 and k  0

  • y = ect + k,  for some constants  c  0 and k  0
