Question 9 Find the point on the curve š¦=š„^3ā11š„+5 at which the tangent is š¦=š„ ā11.Equation of Curve is š¦=š„^3ā11š„+5 We know that Slope of tangent is šš¦/šš„ šš¦/šš„=š(š„^3 ā 11š„ + 5)/šš„ šš¦/šš„=ć3š„ć^2ā11 Also, Given tangent is š¦=š„ā12 Comparing with š¦=šš„+š , when m is the Slope Slope of tangent =1 From (1) and (2) šš¦/šš„=1 3š„^2ā11=1 3š„^2=1+11 3š„^2=12 š„^2=12/3 š„^2=4 š„=±2 When š=š š¦=(2)^3ā11(2)+5 š¦=8ā22+5 š¦=ā 9 So, Point is (2 , ā9) When š=āš š¦=(ā2)^3ā11(ā2)+5 š¦=ā 8+22+5 š¦=19 So, Point is (ā2 , 19) Hence , Points (2 , ā9) & (ā2 , 19) But (ā2, 19) does not satisfy line y = x ā 11 As 19 ā ā2 ā 11 ā“ Only point is (2, ā9)
