For which value of m is the line y = mx + 1 a tangent to the curve y
2
= 4x?
Question 42 For which value of m is the line y = mx + 1 a tangent to the curve y2 = 4x? (a) 1/2 (b) 1 (c) 2 (d) 3
Let (β , π) be the point at which tangent is to be taken
Since (π , π) lies on line
π=πβ+1
Since (π , π) lies on curve
π^2=4β
β=π^2/4
Putting (2) in (1)
π=π(π^π/π)+1
4π=ππ^2+4
ππ^2β4π+4=0
Since tangent touches the curve at only one point
There is only one value of k
So, this quadratic equation has only one root
Thus,
Discriminant of Quadratic equation = 0
π^πβπππ=π
(β4)^2β4 Γ π Γ 4=0
16β16π=0
π=16/16
π=π
So, the correct answer is (B)
